Communication was great!

We were unable to make our trip due to a last minute family issue, but the host was wonderful to deal with and we definitely want to book it and enjoy the beautiful property and location.

Adorable Cottage

House was clean and comfortable. I would note that the bunk beds are twin beds, as we assumed they would be queen sized based on the description of how many the house would accommodate. I would say 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 children would work best. House was cozy and easy to find; set back from the highway for privacy and a beautiful property. Owners are so kind and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!

Cottage in the woods

Such an adorable place, be prepared for no wifi although when booking you will receive a message to contact the owner for WiFi there is none. Amenities were nice, plenty of sleeping rooms. Lots to do in the area.

Really nice location and experience but would be great if it had internet

Everything was great and very relaxing. Close to Pere Marquette river and only a little over 40 minutes to Lake Michigan. Very cozy and nice wooded lot. Absolutely zero cell phone reception so would be nice if internet was provided so my partner could work remotely without having to go to Baldwin library. However, if this is not a problem and you want to go off grid, it is a very nice place. Also, would be good to have printed directions for checkout as we were unsure of what exactly was expected as get a stripping bed or starting laundry. Thanks for the relaxing vacation!

Great getaway

A very cozy and simple place, with a very low maintenance check in/out process. It was nice to be away from a crowded area, but also a close distance to a grocery store. We enjoyed our stay!
