10/10 Excellent
"It was the perfect space for an upnorth family get away. The house was convenient to everything and tucked away off the beaten path to feel peaceful and secluded. They also had everything for our 2 toddler age grandchildren on the premises to make the stay so easy, from cups and tiny silverware to potty seat and step stools."

"Fantastic home in a quiet community right near the big lake. House was extremely clean and all furniture and amenities were like new. Located a short 10-minute drive into Frankfort, or 30 minutes up the coast to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor. Kids loved the on-site fire pit and ability to walk down to the beach. Host was super communicative and helpful in answering questions about the house and nearby activities. 10/10 - highly recommend!"
