The house worked very well for our vacation. It is well situated for cross country skiing.

Our family of four and our small dog had a nice vacation cross country skiing at various locations in the area. The cozy house was well stocked and clean.There was enough room for four of us and two cars in the driveway. The quiet town of Roscommon is close by for supplies.

Positives: location close to cute town and river, pet-friendly, quiet, safe neighborhood. Easy car ride to lakes and parks. We enjoyed the farmers market and coffee shop. The rocks were great.Negatives: surprised to find the place NOT clean based on other reviews raving about the cleanliness. They was feces on the front toilet seat and smeared in the bowl, the corners of the floors and bathrooms had hairs and cobwebs in them, the shower drain had a hairball in it, several hairs in the bedsheets. Several dishes were dirty. We were only there two nights, so we did just clean up ourselves, but cleanliness is of huge importance to me when renting a place, so this was quite a turnoff. I also found it sketchy that instructions hanging on the fridge said to “NOT” strip the bedsheets. How then do we know that they get washed? The back bedroom was chilly and the beds were not comfortable (the couch served as a comfy alternative.) Other than that, the only communication we had from Ed was right after we booked with all of the information. There was no reminder to confirm and no message asking if everything was okay. I am used to more communication from the owners with those types of things. We use STRs often. If you’re not too picky about these things, you’ll probably enjoy this property.

We had the opportunity to stay at Ed's place for a short weekend getaway and it was perfect. Kayaked the Au Sable River with Paddle Brave and hiked in Grayling. Perfect location for us and everyone in town was friendly and accommodating! It was a great and relaxing trip, thanks Ed!

Cozy getaway

We needed a place to stay over Labor Day weekend with short notice. We didn't think we'd find anything this reasonable near Higgins Lake since Labor Day is a big "farewell to summer " weekend in northern Michigan. Plus we needed to find a dog friendly property for our 2 small dogs. Ed's cozy home ended up being perfect for us. The house was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to make home cooked meals. We also enjoyed Matt's Lake Street Grill (3 times) and highly recommend this restaurant. The bed was super comfortable and the area was quiet for a good nights sleep. We would definitely stay here again. This is our first time renting a place through VRBO and it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you, Ed!
