Clean + cozy
We were in town for a family wedding, and wish we would’ve had extra time here! The house was very clean, well stocked, and had a cool layout. Liz was very accommodating for our early check in, and was quick to respond! Will definitely keep this property in mind for future visits!

Easy & delightful alternative to pricey Ann Arbor
Great updated house in convenient location just 15 minutes to Ann Arbor. Lovely kitchen and beautiful bathrooms with a charming deck including bbq grill. Luxury bath amenities and thoughtful touches (including cinnamon rolls in the fridge) made this a special stay. Thank you!

Great host/ Nice Stay
The host, Liz, was very kind and responsive! We enjoyed our quick “get away” at this VRBO. It was clean, large backyard and deck, and sufficed our needs. The one negative about the place is that the “3rd bedroom” isn’t really a bedroom, more like a room with no door right off the kitchen. So we had to adjust for that reason, but other than that- a wonderful stay!

Great place for UofM visits
Came to Michigan so my son could attend hockey camp at UofM for a week. The house was only 20 minutes from the rink on campus, which was great. The lake was only a 5 minute walk, so my other kids hung out there during the day while their brother was gone. Between the basketball, volleyball, and water, they stayed plenty occupied. The house is very spacious and worked great for our family of 5 plus 1 dog. It was very clean, had all the amenities we needed and then some. Check in and out was super easy. Overall, a great stay at this property, would definitely recommend.

Clean spacious quiet stay
We stayed here while visiting family. There is a lot of space in the house. The layout is a bit choppy. Bead rooms are spaced out. Only downside was a lot of stairs to manage with a toddler. Very clean and convenient!

Beautiful home
This home near Whitmore Lake was perfect for my family visiting our daughter who’s a student in Ann Arbor. It is a quick easy drive from AA and was a great space for my family including 2 teenage boys and my parents. There is plenty of room to hang out in the living and dining areas of the home and we were even able to have my daughter and several of her friends from AA over for dinner one night with plenty of space. The only very minor things to know is there is only seating for 4 comfortably on the couch in the living room, thankfully we had teenagers who didn’t mind sprawling out on the floor, and the 3rd bedroom bedroom is more of a sitting room off the kitchen with a futon and a couch with no door, just an archway separating from the kitchen, my teenage boys were fine with it, but good to be aware there isn’t any privacy in this room. We would love to return in the warmer seasons to check out all the lake has to offer.

Really just perfect!
We only had a short time to visit the area, but we will be back! The house is lovely, and my husband and I enjoyed how spread out everything is. We were not falling over each other and we (and the dog) were able to have our own space when we wanted it. GREAT kitchen! Maybe another TV, but that's really nitpicky because my husband is a gamer and I like to watch streaming content. We didn't have much down time, so this was not nearly as important as the space, the kitchen, and the location. If you are on the fence about renting this property, just do it! You will love it.

The layout of the house was great for five adults, offering enough space to be together when wanted and apart when needed. The amenities met our needs, and we enjoyed our time in the Whitmore Lake area.
