We can't begin to explain how wonderful our stay was. Initially it was the location as it was very near where our event was held. But then......the place was immaculate and adorable. The welcome greeting and treats were definitely a hit! Our host was so helpful and patient, even when I had a question which she had already answered. My adult children thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The location was perfect and only a few minutes from town. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a great time.

Very cozy and clean. We stayed in the winter, so we couldn't utilize the river. The outdoor hot tub was amazing. We watched swans and ducks on the property. It was a very peaceful place to unwind. Melissa was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. Our hosts made sure we had an open line of communication in case we needed anything, but everything there was as advertised and we had not one issue. The house was clean and welcoming, the view was amazing, the hot tub was clean and easy to use, and we could not have asked for a better experience.

The house was very well appointed, very clean and comfortable. We brought our boat and went all the way to Burt Lake to Bois Blanc and Mackinaw Islands (different days) The location was peaceful, beautiful easy to navigate and the hot tub was a perfect way to end (or start) a cool fall day. Within driving distance to so many great areas as well. The hosts were fantastic! We would certainly stay here again.

The home was perfect for two couples. The kitchen was very well equiped with just about anything you would need to prepare a meal. The living room furniture was very comfortable for watching a movie after a day of sight seeing or outdoor activities. Complimentary popcorn was a nice touch! Only wish we had more time to use the kayaks and hot tub.

Our group as a whole was impressed with the entire stay. The house was clean and the property is perfect for those who want to hang out by the river and float on tubes or who want to sit on the back deck, enjoy the view and soak in the hot tub. The host was also extremely responsive to all questions. We had the best time and certainly give this property 5 out 5 stars!
