Red Carpet experience in Clarkston

There are so many great things that I can say about this property! Here are a few highlights: 1. The property managers are truly AMAZING! Even before my stay they reached out to me and were so kind and helpful. Excellent communication via text for any questions I had about the property. 2. Extra towels, hot water, and excellent water pressure in the bathroom. Honestly, who can ask for anything better than that?! 3. Privacy! I seriously felt like I was the only one on the property during my stay. 4. Comfy beds! Both queen beds were comfortable and the linens were fresh and smelled great. My family and I plan on being returned guests. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Comfortable and clean

Our son attends Oakland University and plays baseball so we were in town for 3 nights/4 days over Easter. This VRBO had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It was great to relax and spend time as a family as opposed to staying in a hotel. We would stay here again. The owners were very responsive with any questions we had.

This is beautiful and spacious and was perfect for our girls' trip to the Renaissance Faire. It was a very easy drive to and from the faire. The bedrooms are large with super comfy beds. The bathroom has an abundance of towels and washcloths. My only minor complaint, is that I believe they must have a water softener, so the water felt slimy to me, and I never felt like my skin was actually clean.

Couldn’t get the volume to work on the tv and the place could use a cooking sheet for the oven. Other than that, it was a nice place.

The property is beautiful but theres no thermostat for heat and it was cold. It could use more blankets and some electric heaters. Also, some sharp knives.

Could have been great

We arrived to a bed that smelled like cat pee through every layer of bedding down to the mattress. We messaged the owner and were told that “only the dog is allowed.” We only brought a dog with us, so I’m not sure what that comment meant. But it was radio silence after that as I tried to explain what happened. We had to figure it out for ourselves without access to a washer and dryer. Gross. I truly understand that things happen but the lack of response was very concerning and upsetting. The next morning I asked for a baking sheet because the kitchen wasn't very stocked and was also ignored so I didn’t bother messaging again after that. The listing showed a photo of a toaster as being included but that was no where to be found. There were extremely limited directions for checking out so we had no idea what to do with the soiled bedding, dirty towels, or the trash. Other than that we enjoyed our visit and would have been thrilled if there had been some action and communication from the owner. Very disappointing.
