So many unique and personal touches

We had a great stay! We came up for the MISH Experience triathlon. This house was a perfect location, had a nice view of the lake across the street and a large backyard for an evening bonfire after a tough race. Tony was really thoughtful about so many things with this house. We look forward to staying here for the race next year.

Absolutely wonderful!!

Everything was great!! Host (Tony) was on top of everything as it was prepared with care! The area was very well thought out and put together. Tony goes above and beyond informing our groups of a tug boat traveling the bay making sure we knew and we're safe! Will recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area and will be returning to the high banks in the future!

Unique property with attention to details!

Our family of 4 (along with our dogs) stayed at Tony's place while touring the U.P. during Spring Break. The space/location was perfect for us! Tony supplied so many essentials that made you feel right at home. He left info. about the items in the home (furniture, pictures, etc.) that made the stay truly a special visit!

It's everything that's promised and more

My family came stayed for 5 nights on our U.P. vacation. The house has so much character and is decorated so thoughtfully with meaningful pieces explained in a book that is in the house. When Tony says there is a fully stocked kitchen, he's not kidding. It was beyond our expectations. The house was clean and comfortable. It also has a great location. We rode the vintage bikes north to the park one night and walked to the ice cream parlor another time. The view from the deck never got old. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It helped make for a very enjoyable vacation. Tony is a terrific host.

Top notch

We stayed here one night only but wished we could move in!!! A lot of love and care was put into this beautifully updated lakeside place. We had anything and everything we could possibly need including handy bicycles to get around and a well stocked Kitchen for breakfast! The four of us friends have stayed in many VRBO’s and this one is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. Thank you Tony for a great experience on the last evening of our trip.
