Five Stars – Worth the money
This property was home to our group of 8 golfers this past weekend. All of the guys really enjoyed the setting. Fishing from the dock. Paddling the kayaks on the Crystal River. Sitting around the campfire. Watching the big TV in the family room. Eating meals in the screened-in porch while overlooking the river. This is an expansive house with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. Book it now. You will love it. Communication with the property manager (Dylan) was excellent. Very speedy replies to any and all of my questions.

Dune home
This was a great location for a getaway. The home was well maintained and very clean. This is tastefully designed and had great little seating areas. I loved that we had access to kayaks. We chose to paddle upstream to the road and then back. Very close to the cute town and easy access to Sleeping Bear dunes. We would have stayed another night if it was available.

Family Reunion 2023
House accommodated a large family reunion reunion very well! Just a few difficulties to work around — not adequate bathrooms & access through bedrooms was awkward/not ideal. A planned road closure on day of departure for some of our guests was also terribly inconvenient. The location, the living room & patio spaces, two fully operational kitchens was a HUGE Bonus!
