Short getaway with the family (kids and grandkids). The house worked perfectly for what we were looking for. Beds were comfy and living room big enough for everyone to sit and watch the football games. The room upstairs in barn was great for young and old. Bryce was great when it came to communication, and even offered a free nights stay. Only negative - We all like to play pickleball and the court was a main reason we rented - if you are renting this for pickleball use you will be disappointed with the court because it is not near offical size....

The house was just right for our families vacation. Close to Sleeping Bear and many downtowns to visit. The large garage had so many fun activities for all ages, 18 months to adults. The house was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for all eight of us. Bryce’s was an excellent host and had great communication.

We had an amazing couple of days relaxing at this well appointed property! Thanks to Mother Nature’s blizzard, plans changed, drastically, forcing us to stay at the house rather than venture out. Not a problem, here! We cooked up meals easily in the kitchen that had everything, enjoyed time on the pickleball court, played games in the spacious family and dining room and snuggled up on the cozy, comfy recliner couches to watch some movies. Bryce was an excellent communicator and really responsive, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible.

Our family absolutely loved this place! It had the space to accommodate 6 adults and four children quite well. The game room was loads of fun with various arcade games, and video games. I appreciated the owners thoughtful extra touches like a fully stocked coffee bar and plenty of towel, paper towels and toilet paper. They were very quick to respond when contacted.

Winter weekend getaway

An ideal location for our extended weekend getaway. Only a short drive to Crystal Mountain for some winter activities. The hot tub on the back deck was used every night. It's great to have a place to stay where we could bring the family dog with us. Our host was wonderful, and we would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Bryce Ropp

Host profile image
Hello and thanks so much for the interest in our home!
I'm an elementary school teacher in Honor. We have the privilege of living in one of the most beautiful areas in America, but it does come with super high property prices, more than a teacher can afford.
Your stay at our home helps up pay our mortgage. We are so very grateful!!! We have another place to stay when guests are over.

My wife and I have three young kids. We like to kayak, canoe, bike, hike, backpack, ski, and camp. I have hiked the Appalachian Trail and have ridden the TransAmerica Trail on my bicycle.

We take great pride in having the cleanest and nicest house you will ever stay at. Unlike rich people who have someone else manage their property, we do everything with great pride to make sure your vacation is wonderful. We go the extra mile to be accommodating to your family.

Why they chose this property

Every day my kids and I walk a few minutes down to the Platt river and play around or in it. We carry the kayaks right from the garage to the river and paddle away till my wife picks us up when we are done. It's a pleasant half an hour bike ride from our house to Lake Michigan. In the fall the salmon come right up to the bridge by our house. In the winter Crystal Mountain is only about 15 minutes away. We are a short drive from everything.

What makes this property unique

Being able to rent out our home has allowed me to buy all the cool things I have ever wanted for my family! We really have pretty much everything!
We have two huge decks. One is partially enclosed with a hot tub and outdoor kitchen. We turned our huge garage into a pickleball court and cornhole tournament area. We have three arcade machines. We also have a lot of kayaks, canoes, bikes, and kid trailers. We also have tons of kid stuff.
