Comfortably Spacious and Well Equipped
Two sets of grandparents and a family of 5 with 3 children under 6 years old had a very comfortable weekend located close to other family members staying at nearby properties while coming together for a nephew's memorial service. Children thoroughly enjoyed the game room, and the setting was a beautiful walk to nearby properties.

Great Northern Michigan Retreat
This property was perfect for our group - 2 families, comprised of 4 adults and 5 children. We had plenty of space, and having the full basement with game room was a huge bonus for our stay! The house was clean and the amenities were awesome. We loved the double sided fireplace and we were able to totally disconnect and relax. We will definitely keep this property in our rotation.

Bugs, mold, broken appliances and water leaks in the ceiling
This is was was an awful stay. The Water heater was replaced during our visit and the water was shut completely off and the handymen were permitted to in the house with us guests despite us being assured they wouldnt be inside the house. A bug resembling a cockroach was found walking along a bathroom sink. The fireplace wouldn’t turn on. The refrigerator froze everything. There was also a water leak in the ceiling in the basement. And multiple drop ceiling tiles were moldy in the basement. But for our “inconvenience” we were offered to stay two extra hours. It was a bad joke.

Great location, very comfortable home
Stayed here for our friends ski trip. The house was in a great location and fit 6 adults and 6 teenagers very comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped, even had 2 ovens upstairs and a third downstairs!!!

Winter Wonderland
The property location is perfect. Nice home with plenty of room for 3 families, all 12 of us. The only negatives were the horrible sewer smell outside the home. We build a fire outside in the fire pit but the smell was soo bad we couldn’t enjoy. The property description indicated that the indoor pool at Shanty Creek was included and it is not. Overall we enjoyed our family ski weekend.

As advertised!
This home was just as the past reviews say. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of space and lay out of the home. It was great. One con was we found a couple of windows that wouldn’t lock/latch. Other than that- we would rent this home again!
