The house is beautiful & property was very clean. The outside area was disappointing - no chairs/firewood, no grass area had been mowed so there was no usable green space for the kids to play. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We’re very sorry that there wasn’t any firewood and also that our chairs were no longer there. We’ve now purchased more chairs.

This property more than exceeded our expectations. The property was clean and inviting and felt like home. The host was very easy to communicate with, and we were greeted with a welcome basket. We spent a holiday weekend exploring local attractions, all within 15 minutes of the property. In our down time my children enjoyed the game and craft closet. We spent a full afternoon at the pool which was also kid friendly. Highly recommend! We can't wait to come back.

We had a wonderful 5 day visit with our daughter and her family. The home was nicely updated and decorated and was extremely clean and comfortable. There were lots of little extras which was nice in case we didn’t think of something or forgot to bring it along. Our host Jenn was very responsive to any questions and checked in from time to time to make sure everything was good. Our granddaughters loved the outdoor area and fire pit. There was plenty of room for them to play and discover nature. Everyone had a great time!

What a gorgeous place! This house has everything you could want and more for a Northern Michigan experience. We loved the "local, northern themed" goodies. Quiet, private, wooded location but still close enough to surrounding attractions, dining etc. Very clean, comfortable, up to date appliances and decor. We wish we could have stayed longer. Would be perfect for a couple small families.Communication with Jennifer was pleasant and she responded quickly.We didn't end up using the pool/hot tub pass but that area is also nice.Plenty of parking.We will be checking availability for the next time we are visiting the area for sure!

About the host

Host profile image

Originally from Southwest Michigan we have always loved heading up north whenever we can. We’ve been together since high school and now raise our two kids in our hometown, so this has become our little escape to slow down and just be together.

The quiet mornings, fresh air, and evenings that seem to last a little longer make this a great place to relax. We love hosting friends and family, and sharing this home felt natural. We hope it feels cozy, comfortable - like your own Up North getaway.

What makes this property unique

Relax with the whole family at this private and peaceful place to stay. This fully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is tucked away on 3+ wooded acres and offers all the comforts of home. Come relax by the fire, stargaze, and listen to the sounds of the forest. Conveniently located 2 miles from Shanty Creek Resort. Local attractions include 5 Championship golf courses, skiing, fishing, ATV trails, wineries, breweries, and the Chain of Lakes.
