We had a great time. We had stayed here last summer and chose to return this year. Matt is extremely helpful and responds very quickly if questions do arise. We would stay here again

Great set up. More than enough room for a single family, could easily fit 2 families, maybe 3. Well taken care of, clean, well stocked (much better than any home rentals we've been in to) - plenty of bedding, pillows, towels. Kitchen was really the best vacation rental kitchen I've seen - GOOD pots & pans, plenty of flatware, silverware, bakeware, towels, & extras like a crockpot. Excellent game/play room (our boys LOVED it) - TV, gaming system, several board games, & even a shuffle board! We all loved that there was lake/swimming access near by. You have access to the clubhouse & pool as well but we never made it there. Good drivable distance from lots of activities - less than an hour from Traverse City, Boyne City, & Mackinaw City to mention a few. Outside area was nice but we didn't really use it - well maintained porch and patio furniture - a fire pit area with plenty of seating. Personally loved that there is a recycling tub besides the trash can in the garage, also several drop off spots in Gaylord. The AC unit is a portable unit & took a few minutes to figure out but we really only needed it a couple nights before the weather cooled down. After that the house stayed nice & cool (follow the directions in the binder, it works great to keep it regulated in the warmer months). Communication can be a little delayed if you go through the site, but I never felt anything was urgent enough to bother the owner on their cell#. Great vacation rental overall! Absolutely recommend!

We were very happy with the property. The host was very helpfull and answered questions we had promptly. He was also very patient with me as I was a little confused about the pool clubhouse usage.

The house was the perfect size and everyone had room to spread out. It appears they have an old hot tub in a back storage room that causes the entire house to have a musty mildew smell. We were concerned with not having air conditioning but with the standing unit downstairs and fans upstairs it was fairly decently cool with outside temps in the 70s. We were disappointed we were unable to use the pool or gym amenities due to an unexpected large fee not listed on expedias site. Luckily the lake was close by and the kids enjoyed it. Kitchen was well stocked fridge needs new shelves on the door made it hard to keep organized but not a big deal. Fire pit was nice well stocked with wood. Water pressure was decent but the shower screams at you sometimes,we found that funny. Lots of stairs and not the best handrails for those who struggle. Kids enjoyed the game room and we were happy the table had enough chairs for our whole group. One person complained the upstairs queen bed was too hard but others were happy with their sleeping places. They provided plenty of towels and laundry pods. We think the dishwasher needs some love it looked very dirty and had a funky smell. Overall we had a good time but would probably choose a different place based on not having pool access, no air conditioning, and the odd smell in the house.
