The house was amazing, it was 2 miles from Tippy Damn, so it made salmon fishing alot easier on us. The house is very spacious, the kitchen has everything you could think of. There are 4 bedrooms, all beds big enough to fits grown men. The up stairs bathroom eith that tub was relaxing. Hopefully we can rent this place again next year

Lovely country getaway

This spacious home with a huge, quiet, well-kept front and back yards was perfect for our family group and puppy. There is plenty of space to spread out and enjoy relaxing. Fire pit and charcoal grill were great additions. There was a gigantic turkey who entertained us morning and evening with his strut.

Thank You

Our check-in was very easy and the host was very helpful with the needed information. The Kitchen was nicely laid out with plenty of room. The house was really comfortable and very nice to relax in. We had plenty of room. We enjoyed playing the games they furnished, both indoors and outdoors. Another great vacation in the books.

Christmas in Brethren

The house is very roomy. We had 7 adults and everyone had their space. Loved the jetted tub. Kitchen was great, we ate in alot, including Christmas dinner. And lucky enough to get snow, so were able to hop right on the snowmobile trails from house. Not all local roads plowed well, but we were able to visit many local towns, Traverse City, Manistee and Cadilac. I forgot to include the dog in the initial reservation. Listings says allows up to 4 dogs, but nothing about fee, which I thought was a little high. But we would rent again for sure.

Awesome getaway up north

My family and I had an amazing time staying here! The kids absolutely loved all the space and the air hockey table. Huge plus being dog friendly so we could bring our fur babies along with us. Chris was great at responding quickly and answering all of my questions. Would definitely stay here again!!

Great time

My son and I stayed here when we came up for a weekend of fishing. Although the fishing wasnt very good the house was great. I had trouble checking in because I wasnt able to open the VBRO on my phone for the lock code. I texted Chris and he responded right away. Great communication, we would stay here again and hope to next fall.
