Michigan trip

The view was beautiful
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 3 July 2024
I'm glad you were able to appreciate the beautiful view! On the other hand, I'm so sorry your trip was not ideal. The storm power outage was unexpected, as the storm even took down area trees. We hope you considering returning again in the future. You were a very kind and patient guest. Sincerely, Cara Owner, Freshwater Vacation Rentals
