A very well located and appointed rental. We had some minor difficulty with entry to the property and the hosts very quickly remedied the issue. Excellent communication and response by the hosts.
We had a wonderful weekend at this beautiful place. Robin replied the message extremely fast, and they even provide a cage for our dogs and it save us a lot of time to settle our pets. The rooms are wonderful and really comfy. I love how they designed their kitchen, it looks wonderful. We started a pit fire in the night and the wood was provided right next to the pit. Its really convenient! I would definitely come visit again!

Thank you Chenwei for the kind review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Daytripper!! We would love to have you come back any time!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was perfect for our family of 9 and our fur baby. The house was stocked up with EVERYTHING we needed and more. We were super impressed with everything it offered. It was a great location and close to all the fun things we wanted to do, Sleeping bear dunes, Glen Arbor, yummy restaurants and Fishtown. Good Harbor beach and Van beach were our favorites!! We made a lot of great memories and we’ll definitely be back!
