10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The house was as listed, and we enjoyed having a three- day stay. It is conveniently located and we found it easy to find the spots we wanted to explore. I especially appreciated the ease of communication. I was confused about how to handle garbage and asked about it in the provided message link. There was an immediate response and an explanation of what I should do. I also appreciate the kind response when I asked for a check out delay of a couple of hours. Our teen grandson was taken to the emergency room because of running a very high fever. We were up most of the night before check out dealing with him and were exhausted. I was told to take some extra time and get rested up before our leaving. This was very helpful. Thanks!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
We enjoyed being on one level. The backyard activity opportunities were fun for the children in our family. Two slight issues: the shower by the garage did not drain well and one pull on a kitchen drawer was broken upon arrival. We would love to have had a crock pot and a Keurig for coffee. I rated the property a 4 because the mattress in on the extra bed in the 2-bed room needs to be replaced. The adult sleeper had to resort to the living room sofa. Queen mattresses were good.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2023
We stayed here as a Family of 4 during August 2023 for 5 nights. It is a well maintained property. Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean. Appliances are neat. Kitchen has all basic utensils sufficient to cook, Grill is nice, fire pit is enjoyable. Location is great. Close to many things. We would happily stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2022
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is great for getting to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and downtown Glen Arbor. Our kids loved the backyard and sitting around the fire at night. Management was responsive when we had a couple questions.
