Not really as listed.
This is a very honest review of our experience and we hold no ill will to the owners. I hope that the owners will make appropriate improvements and be successful renting this property in the future.We stayed for 1 night of our scheduled 3 night stay the major issue was rodent droppings in the kitchen among the pots and pans. Owner did respond quickly after notification of the rodent droppings, and refunded our money.A few things on the listing.Listing states:house has air conditioning. - there is no air conditioningOn a river - its in a older neighborhood in the city. There is a stream about a mile away its not on a river.In the city center - not really what I would call the city center. The neighborhood may be in the center of the city but that's not my definition of a city center.Hot tub was over treated and reeked of chemicals did not get in for fear of burning our skin. I own a hot tub and know it does not have to be like this.There are 2 ceiling fans in the home in the master bed and kitchen nothing in the main living space.We wanted to open a couple of windows to get some fresh air in and circulating. I don't know that the inside of the window casing had ever been cleaned.Pet Friendly for an additional 65.00All in all the house did not live up to our expectations nor (at least in my opinion) those of the listing.

Cute and quiet neighborhood
A great value for the low price. Super clean, freshly painted and well appointed. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. Dog friendly house, but the outdoors, no. Smallish fenced area in the corner of the backyard. You must walk a significant bit to get to it. Our dogs escaped from the gated area twice. It is not adequate for small dogs.

Nice place , clean , didn’t get to use anything really just there to sleep . Pet friendly means they charge for pets . Would be nice to know that up front
We had a wonderful girls weekend! The house was perfect for the four of us.

A disappointment
Pictures look good but thats about it. Inside was decent. Outside area is poorly kept up. Theres no awning over the hot tub just in case it rains...heck even one to pull over.. no porch area either.. definitely over priced for what you get. I would have never paid the amount i did. Pictures are certainly deceiving!

We Had to get hotel room, for our senior parents due to 2nd bedroom twin beds. Both beds were thin, and squeaky, from tossing and turning.

The house is just good enough. The twin beds were incredibly squeaky, the stairs into the house are awkward, nice area with things to do.
The hot tub was the best

Nice little house
We stayed here because our nephew was getting married close by at Etre Farm. House was just as shown in the pictures. Very clean & cute. It was perfect for our stay. We had 4 adults,1 teen and a small dog. I would say that it only sleeps 4. The couch doesn’t pull out & there wasn’t an air mattress. We made it work though. I would definitely book again if we were in the area.

Great property
We had an awesome time in MI. This house was perfect for us and our dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The only complaint I have was the internet.. not sure how you can have such bad internet in 2024. Couldn’t stream anything on the smart TVs. Overall this property was very nice and had a perfect yard for our dogs.
