Absolutely Amazing!!
This house is one of the NICEST vacation rentals I’ve stayed in. The owner is wonderful and extremely accommodating. Definitely went ABOVE AND BEYOND in more ways than one! There was a small issue that was NOT at the fault of the owners, but they did everything they possibly could to remedy the issue. And they made themselves available to us late into the evening to ensure everything was fixed. Beautiful home and very welcoming which allowed us to feel at home. The kids and dogs enjoyed the toys provided for each and the adults enjoyed the hot tub. The layout and room set up allowed for everyone to be able the have their own space and quietness when needed/wanted. We will definitely look at this property’s availability the next time we are in the area.

All you need is your family and friends to stay at this house. Excellent clean house with everything you need to enjoy your getaway. I was impressed with the extra towels and sheets provided for your four legged friends. Our teenage kids loved having their own space in the attached apartment area.

Family Ski Trip
Amazing! My family went up during the holiday and we had an amazing time here. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t in our favor for our ski trip but we made the most of it and it was nice having a clean place to come back to and spend family time together. The house is very spacious and had everything we could think of. Definitely would recommend to other friends and family. We loved our stay here! The hosts were very nice and welcoming!

Family Haven
We were from all over the US attending a family wedding in East Jordan. We did not expect to find a location that would accommodate our extended family and a dog - The Summer - Winterland Retreat exceeded our expectations. We took advantage of both kitchens, all the bedrooms, and common spaces. Our hosts thought of everything; coffee, cookware, dishes, games, and wine glasses (even frozen ones). They took the mystery of finding things out of the equation, it is all labeled! Extra blankets and throws for those cool nights. I cannot say enough about this home.This property is an excellent solution for a family or group of friends. We did have a couple of questions for our hosts, they responded immediately! If we need to be back in the area - this will be our go-to place.
