Excellent property and host communication.

We had an amazing holiday weekend at Peter’s place! The house was clean, spacious, and in a perfect location close to all the up north attractions. Our family especially enjoyed spending time on the water with the kayaks provided. Peter was a fantastic, responsive host. we’d definitely come back again!

We had a great vacation in upper Michigan this past week and this house fit our family’s needs perfectly. The house, the lot, the private and quiet street, and the lake were beautiful.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2023
We had mixed feelings about our stay. The house space is fine, the rooms are large and the layout works well. There is a nice large kitchen table that does not appear in the online pics. The backyard water front was relaxing, the various water toys were fun and as others have said, the lake is quiet with little boat traffic.
Our negative issues had to do with cleanliness and maintenance. We’ve shared much of this with Peter. Many kitchen things were dirty. With three families all bringing food, we took care of it ourselves not wanting to wait for someone to come and clean. While they look great in the pics, nearly every upholstered piece of furniture in the kitchen and great room was very dirty – it’s been a long time since they were cleaned.
Due to well water, the inside of the washer and soap dispenser, dishwasher, showers and the shower liners were all heavily stained. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures are old and the kitchen ones leaked. The white towels used in the bathrooms were also stained yellow and some had holes in them.
Not shown in the online pics is an extension to the dock which is great. Unfortunately, it's slanted and part of itis under water.
The A/C unit was not working well. We told Peter on Fri. and on Sat. he said it would be replaced.
We've rented homes for 12 years. We paid $806/night for this house and at that level, we don't expect problems. With proper attention to cleaning and maintenance, our issues could have easily been avoided.
