Work trip/ family trip

Beautiful place with lots to do! We came here for the week because my husband is working close by. We had the best time! Lots of things to do with kids without having a car. Cute little beach to walk to, fishing, kayaking, playset for the kids. Great place for our 9,8 and 6 year old. Place was clean and very welcoming. Emily was so kind and easy to communicate with. Little coffee shop/gift shop and staff was also AMAZING! Would definitely recommend this place! 10/10

Perfect

We wanted to find a place that would accommodate our boat and dog and woodchuck marina was above and beyond our expectations. Emily was wonderful!! So accommodating and has done a beautiful job renovating. Yard is fenced in which allowed our dog to be off leash outside. So nice. Beautiful home and yard with a relaxing hot tub after a day on Lake Erie. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks for having us Emily (and Chief). You guys are awesome.

Perfect family stay

My family and I were in town to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. This house was the perfect place to stay. There was plenty of space and in a great location. If we had more time, we would have taken the kayaks out on the water. But we were able to try out some of the local restaurants like the Sandbar. Emily was always extremely responsive and helpful whenever we needed something or had a question. I just wish we had known that the store is attached to the house and is under construction. Also, there were lots of mayflies. But overall, a great place to stay!

This property did not meet expectations. We were surprised to discover that the thermostat was kept under lock and key so that we could not adjust it at all. Additionally, NONE of the beds had top sheets! They were literally a fitted sheet and bedspread! What are the chances that the bedspreads are washed between visitors? We also ran out of toilet paper and kitchen trash bags. The toilet paper shortage was an unfortunate discovery at 3am. We were further surprised that the property does contain stairs that are required to access two bedrooms. One of our party is handicapped, so we were specifically looking for a single story property and found this frustrating (and dangerous for her). Home decor was cute, but these problems overshadowed it.

Relaxing Stay in Monroe

My family and I loved this place! Plenty of space for our group of 5 and my dog! It was a very wonderfully decorated and comfortable house with lots of areas inside and out to hang, play games, read, watch football and be together! Loved having the coffee/gift shop next door. It didn’t disrupt us at all. Easy to access Detroit for a tigers game or the state park for some lake time! Would stay here again if in the area!

Fun fishing spot and great stay

The property was very well done and we felt welcome. We enjoyed the stay and spent hours fishing off the docks right at the place. It’s a quiet area, and we did not have any concerns.

Beautiful and comfortable

Our family loved Emily's house....the little store, the house itself, the backyard overlooking the marina. The place is spacious and beautifully decorated. We grilled out for the 4th of July and had a wonderful time. The marina is currently somewhat stagnant, but we took the kayaks out to the lake anyway and had a great time. Thanks so much.

Very clean, tastefully decorated, and responsive host. Marina and was not as pictured but it was because of the heavy algae, very green, but that is not something the host has control of. Overall great experience.

Lovely time!

The property was lovely. I did not realize how industrial the area was (haven't been to that part of the state in a while), so not a Pure Michigan type of feel, but the property itself was wonderful. I did not realize there was a store literally connected which was under construction and that should most definitely have been in the listing or communicated. I left the day the painters were there because it was too distracting, but it was only one day. Only other minor nits - the sponge in the kitchen was old and smelled the entire kitchen up upon arrival, but once discarded, it was fine. Everything was clean, just that was missed. Also, we enjoyed the hot tub, but there was a layer of dirt on the seats and bottom so it was not vacuumed out in a while. Great stay overall.
