Very comfortable and clean. Great use of the space for accommodating multiple guests. The kitchen was well-stocked. The flow restrictor on the showerhead was a minor inconvenience but was still useable. I would stay here again and will recommend it to family and friends.

We had a fantastic stay! The property was very clean and easy to access, which made everything stress-free from the start. Angelo was incredibly quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay. The location is great—convenient yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. A huge bonus for us was the driveway, which was perfect for parking our 20’ trailer with no issues at all. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Angelo Fasano

Host profile image
I have 3 beautiful children and 2 grandchildren. I was born and raised in the Detroit Metropolitan area.

Why they chose this property

I purchased a cottage in 2014 and enjoy sharing my love for the area with others.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful neighborhood with wooded lots. The Chalet sits on one acre. I enjoy being close to the lakes/woods and not having other cottages and people on top of you.
Lots of wildlife roam through the area also. Quite mornings on the deck with my coffee often brings about opportunity for sightings.
