Great place, great host's.

Went to see my srep son graduate high school. We very much enjoyed everything. Nice firepit. We had a small problem figuring out the television but the host was there within 30 minutes to fix it. Everything was great, i would go again.

Fishing

Outside of house litle ran down
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 17 October 2023
Hopefully the outside being a “bit ran down” didn’t affect your stay. Haven’t heard that comment before. House is older, metal roof newer. Aluminum siding is difficult to power wash. Color comes off when doing that. Glad all else was acceptable. Your communication was poor at best. I have probably a dozen messages I sent to you and you replied twice. The longest of which was 5 words 😳 Appreciate your input. Thanks for staying!

Weekend Getaway

This little house was what we needed. A place to sleep. Location? Really depends on what you’re looking for. We were only in the house to sleep, otherwise we were out and about. If you’re a beach goer, you’ll have to travel. If you’re hunting or fishing, this is a good place. Just, DO NOT CLEAN FISH IN THE HOUSE! Clean, well stocked, good host…we would be happy to use this place again.

Thanks Jessica! Glad you enjoyed your stay. There is a small beach just a few blocks away but Lake Michigan beaches are about 20 minutes away. We do note this in our description. We do not allow fish cleaning inside our rentals as some folks have proven they do not clean up properly. We find it very unfair for their carelessness to be passed on to our cleaning lady to the next group of renters. Finding fish scales all over is just not any fun lol Loved having your group and would love to have you again. Have a great rest of the summer!
