Golf Trip with the guys

It was perfect for our golf trip ... great place to lay your head at night. We had everything we needed to make breakfast every morning. We went in to town to the Springbrook Inn (The Frog Tiki Bar) and that place was great to hang out at and grab some dinner. Overall great experience!

I believe this was the third time we stayed at this house. We were at the lake for a family reunion. However, we were disappointed when we arrived, to see that the carpets on the kitchen (at least) were not vacuumed.

We loved your cozy cottage, and it was fully stocked. Also the neighborhood was really quiet and friendly 💕. Loved going to North Higgins state park for the day on friday before the rain. Saturday was spent at Sullivan beach which was very nice and relaxing. Thank you for allowing us to stay here💕💕

Great location!

Gwenda’s place is located in a quiet neighborhood with mature trees. Kitchen is well-equipped. A pan of of homemade brownies awaited us at check-in. Our gracious hostess provided wood for the backyard fire pit and charcoal and starter fluid for the grill. Short drive to Sullivan Beach and Dairy Queen.

This was the 1st time u ever used this type of booking. It went very well.

Property is your typical up north cabin/house. The host is very nice and you can tell she really keeps property clean and accommodating for her guests. We were 5 males, 1 adult and 4 teen boys. We had plenty of space and 2 bathrooms was a major bonus. We had a very nice stay.

Nice place to stay

Property had everything needed for our stay. Plenty of room. Unfortunately we stayed the hottest weekend of the year, right about 95 plus or minus 2 degrees. No fault of the owner. The portable air conditioner couldn’t keep up with heat.

This is just as stated, it is very spacious. Any issues that are had are met head on with the owner. I loved the old school VHS and the variety of movies. Also, the charcoal grill. I love grilled vittles in the fresh up north air. :)Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Houghton Lake Snowmobiling Trip

This rental is absolutely perfect for snowmobiling trip. The house was roomy and comfortable. Its location to the trails is great go down two unplowed city streets and cross M55, then you're at the trail connector. Plenty of room for two vehicles, my 27' enclosed trailer plus the 4 sleds. As long as there's snow, I would definitely book this place again!

Great stay up North.

We enjoyed our second stay here. The house was neat and clean, and we found everything we needed. It had plenty of room and 2 nice big bathrooms. Despite some morning showers, the evening weather was perfect for a warm fire out back. Definitely plan on staying again

Not at all as advertised - Health Hazard- MOLD

Myself and my youngest son are severe asthmatics. My son has severe autism as well. My husband and I with our 5 children arrived to the property and had no issue getting into the premises through the provided method. Upon opening the door we were hit the OVERWHELMING smell of mold/mildew. I immediately started to wheeze. AC intake was moldy, with a hose running into a small garbage can to drain the condensation. water was stagnant and smelled. The fridge door had what appeared to be mold at the bottom of the door. Bathrooms were filthy and in need of cleaning. Kitchen had used items on the counter. Exterior of the home had mold on the walls as well. Photo evidence was collected of the conditions. We were unable to stay as this is a huge risk to our health. We tried to reach the owner and had no answer. VRBO refused to refund or rebook us under the book with confidence guarantee. The owner got in touch with us through vrbo and was rude, did not care to hear what we had said. then went on to tell us they had another family that checked out that morning and she had not gone to the property yet. I was appalled that there was no cleaning or bedding changes between customers during recorded call with VRBO. Owner has refused to refund our stay and VRBO is of no help. We are currently trying to dispute through other means and working to secure legal representation if not resolved. BE WARNED OF UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.
