The location is perfect and rental was clean despite the dishwasher being full when we arrived. I was disappointed during our stay because we were excited to ride the bikes into town and 2/3 were unridable. They told us to reach out if we needed anything, so I reached out to see if they had any tools/wrench so we could attempt to tighten the seat on the one bike and they said “I am sorry, not sure if there are any tools there.” So that felt pretty unhelpful. Also, the tree that hangs over the driveway needs to be cut back. The branches badly scraped the top of my husband’s truck!!! Overall I feel like we overpaid for this property and hosts need to be a bit more on top of things.

I think we all had a great time, even with the extra drive for a day trip to the UP. We were able to break the drive up for the kids and they stayed busy fishing, swimming, sitting in the sun and watching for all the deer in the neighborhood. Great little spot!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The place is super nice and in a great spot with a lot of cool things to do nearby. Check-in was easy and the space itself was comfortable. Our only real issue was that one of the bed sheets had some noticeable stains on it when we got there. If the cleaning gets tightened up a bit, it would easily be a 5-star spot.
