One of the best VRBO’s I have stayed in! The condo was tastefully decorated, and immaculate. The views were stunning and we had fun times out the pool. Michelle is an incredibly responsive post.

We booked for our annual boat trip to Grafton. Two couples, plenty of room but still very cozy. Amazing view and excellent exercise if you want to walk the hill! Owners were proactive in making sure we were informed and had everything ready for the stay! Highly recommended especially if visiting Grafton as a boater and keeping your boat in the marina!

Very nice place to stay. Loved watching the deer in the morning and evening. You do have to use stairs to get into unit and also to the bedrooms. If you can't do stairs you might not want to stay upstairs. They do have a bedroom down stairs with a bathroom

Perfect spot outside the hustle and bustle of the city

Had a wonderful visit. Weather was hot. Pool was perfect. Had fun at the alpine coaster and sky lift. Pere Marquette park was lovely we ate at the lodge. I other folks in same building were going to arch and then six flags. We all wound up at the ball park
