We traveled from Indiana to get away from work and the kids. I have to say, this place is small, but it truly accommodated all of our needs. The owners offered us a ride out on thier boat to watch fireworks! That's special. Thank you Janet and Anthony!
Iâm not sure how this host is a premier host with only 6 reviews and only 1 year in service. This should have been a red flag.
Clean cabin was the only positive attribute.
The host stopped by to drop off local menus upon arrival & seemed very annoyed that I had my daughter with me. I did message inquiring about her and she stated â.all is ok with me know worry..â She then made a off comment about letting it slide before she left.
I will note my daughter did get sick, nothing crazy, a small mess at end of mat. I cleaned the mat & set it outside to dry.
The next morning, a knock on the door. It was the host. I asked if there was sometime wrong and the reply was âwhat is wrong with the water?â I confusingly said excuse me and she said did you flood the the bathroom. I said NO what are you talking about. She replied, well my rug is outside. I then explained what happened and that I cleaned up after my daughter. She then said that is why no children are allowed.
I reminded her of our communication, she stated she never received a message about a child. I showed her the messages. The host response was âwhateverâ and that it was my responsibility to read the entire listing where it is clearly stated absolutely no children. I went on the listing & children allowed was marked yes & I showed it. This went on then I stated we were clearly unwanted & cut the trip short & left the property.
The next day the listing just so happened to show no children.
It was a great place for a family getaway. The place ha a great eclectic mix of antique decorations. Host was very available for local recommendations. I can't recommend enough.
Janet was an amazing hostes. I initially set up an arrival time for later in the evening, but my schedule opened up and was able to arrive at normal check in time at the last minute. She had the windows open and the fireplace burning low in case it was chilly when we arrived. She was there within 5 minutes to let us in and show us around. I loved hearing the back story of the cabin, and her as a hostes and how she came to Michigan for vacation and ended up with all her properties. FYI, The pics do not do much justice for this place. You can tell she has put a lot of time and thought into the vintage decor and overall feeling her cabin gives..it's very cute and cozy đ. She gave great referrals to local restaurants and attractions and other fun things to do near by. She even offered to let us stay a little longer for a late checkout to allow more time to explore near by and enjoy the lake. Tip...if you plan to go on the water at any point, bring your own life jackets, she does not provide them. However, she went above and beyond and borrowed life vests from her friend to loan us so we could kayak. I wish we could have stayed longer..we do plan to return next year and hope to make this a family thing. I'm anxious to see how she finishes her other cabins next door.
Us girls had a wonderful time. Two of us came up 2 days early. The place is very cute and cozy. Janet had it decorated with antiques and I was having a field day looking at all of them. The beach area is very clean and a short drive from the cottage. The fire pit area is large with plenty of seats. This place was comfortable sleeping 4 adult women.
Super cute little cabin. Hosts were very friendly. Checked in on us several times, when they saw us outside to see if we were all good. Very homey. Didnât get a chance to take the sxs out but sounded like a great location for it.
