Awaiting compensation
This listing says the property has a hot tub. I confirmed before and after booking that there was a hot tub. I paid extra fees for access to the hot tub. We arrived, couldnt find the hot tub. Called the number, it wasn't Adam, he was on vacation. Lady said "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, the hot tub had to be removed." Altered our vacation plans specifically because this place looked awesome. Complete let down, and I have yet to hear back from the owner about any kind of refund.

Great Trip
The house was exactly as pictured, comfortable beds everything was very clean. We had 14 people in our stay and everyone fit without it being overcrowding. Hopefully whenever we’re going back to Michigan this house is available, would definitely stay here again. 10/10 recommend. Thank you to the host for making this trip easy and a weekend to remember.

Disappointed
The house is not what pictures look like. There was not enough towels, washcloths & only half roll of Toilet paper. The back yard was dirty with all kinds of old stuff. The house smells like mold and we left a day early due to having breathing problems when some of us were in the house. I would not recommend.!

Firepit Home
Lots of tables and chairs which was great. Beds were all the same so no fighting but they were all on the firm side. Firepit in yard was great. TV remotes did not work but our adult kids were able to use their phone. No Kleenex tissues around the house - no extra trash bags - freezer did not freeze and we did see some bugs.

Great stay
The house was great to stay in with a huge backyard and fireplace. The host actively responded to any questions we had and responded in a timely manner. A good place near the lakes to have a relaxing stay. The hot tub was not installed by the time we checked ij but should only make this property much more appealing whenever it is available to the guests.
