Disliked: Cleanliness
well located to our wedding event, and the traverse city area.I was surprised by the cleanliness however...the windows were in desperate need of cleaning (looking out through them at the golf course was very annoying), I cleaned out one of the kitchen drawers as it bothered me. Beds were great, rest of the space was good (the black blow dryer wasn't working, but there was another one in the master bath that did...thank you!)

Ski trip

We loved this place for our 3 night stay to ski at Crystal Mountain with a party of 6. The bunkroom was perfect for the 4 college aged kids and we enjoyed our own private bedroom and bath. Clean and comfortable with all we needed to prepare meals in. Easy walk to get on Buck lift. Will stay here again!

We loved that we were close enough to walk to Mountain and the village. The Christmas tree in the condo was a nice touch too. This was a dog friendly rental and it was so well cleaned you could not see any signs of this. Host was super responsive.

Very nice place

this was a great place to stay. Property management company was very responsive. Everything was there. There was no towel service which was fine but other people from my class who stayed right next store on both sides had towel service, but they must have had a different type of service. This place was clean and had everything you needed. It was very peaceful there. Great location. Resort/golf course was right within walking distance.

lovely winter cabin

The property had everything we needed! Walking distance to the mountain, stocked kitchen - just bring the food, lockers downstairs for skis and snowboards. The only issues were finding the location, we never did find an identifier for the building address but ended up figuring it out (not at the owners fault at all) & the personal water heater for the condo, hot water didn't last long but the disclaimer was posted inside and we just adjusted accordingly. All in all a very nice stay, we will be back!
