I stayed at this house for six weeks. It was a total pleasure. The beds are super comfortable. It was very clean. The location was perfect- close to downtown Clarkston; easy to get around. Only drawback was all of the construction on the interstate on and off ramps. Close to a variety of restaurants, from fast food to fine dining. The house had everything one could need for a long term stay. The kitchen was very well equipped. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Perfect for an extended stay.

Great cozy house
The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Lots of thoughtful extras, very well organized and many thoughtful touches including a coffee bar and snacks. The beds were very comfortable and the lots of extra towels and toiletries. The backyard is huge and private with a nice patio with comfortable furniture. Chad was very responsive when I had an inquiry while there. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Enjoyed our stay in Michigan
The home was nice and very well appointed. It was obvious the host wants guests to be comfortable and well taken care of. I was amazed at how many supplies were available for our use. The only concern would be a sulfur smell in the water. When I commented to the host about the smell, I was told it was in process of being addressed.

Home was beautiful, cozy and welcoming. The hosts were helpful and very friendly. Our family was here for a weekend wedding and really could not enjoy the full experience. My family and I was very pleased with our stay. We will definitely be back to enjoy the full experience and thank you for allowing us to use your home.

Perfect Cozy Ranch
This was our families first VRBO experience and we LOVED this house. It was perfect for our family visit for a wedding. It was located in a great area, close to everything we needed. The inside of the house was clean and decorated so cute. They had a nice welcome book with house rules and places to eat/things to do. They had all the extra amenities needed. We were so happy this house was pet friendly. The back yard was spacious and a nice place to sit with a drink while watching the dogs run around. This was a relaxing home away from home and we will definitely be back!

Clean and Convenient
My fiancé and I booked this place to have a chance to relax when not exploring what Clarkston and Auburn Hills had to offer. The place was immaculately clean and conveniently for all that we wanted to do. Hosts were very efficient with communication and helpful with suggestions for good places to eat.
We needed a place to stay for a few nights around the Detriot area. The house was only twenty minutes from where we needed to be and there were a bunch of great restaurants really close by.
When we got in the whole house was super clean. The host was easy to contact and very friendly.
One of the restaurants called the Union Woodshop was only 4 minutes away. They had really good bbq and the woodshop pizza was addictive.
Overall we had a great time :)

Beautiful home in quiet neighborhood
We had a great experience here! The home is spotless, recently updated, and thoughtfully includes necessities. The internet was great - we had one kid streaming a show while the other played games online on his switch with no lag whatsoever. The beds are very comfortable, and there is a large fenced in backyard with a nice seating area. Check in was a breeze, and communication with the host was wonderful. The home is 15 minutes away from LegoLand and SEAlife aquarium in Auburn Hills, and 20 minutes away from the Michigan Renaissance Festival.

Great Stay!
This was a perfect fit for our family. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog and for us not having to stand out in the cold waiting on our dog. The beds were comfortable and the whole house was very clean. The location is great and close enough to town that I was able to have Jimmy Johns delivered while my husband had the car to take to work. The garage was also a bonus to park our vehicle. Our 4 boys were able to play in the backyard and rollerblade in the driveway. They throughly enjoyed all the snacks left for us by the host. Loved the windows near the kitchen table to keep an eye on the kids and the dog. We will definitely try and stay again if my husband’s work brings him back this way.
