Cute and cozy condo!

Kellyann was a great host - very responsive and helpful! The house has a lot of thoughtful details and it’s nicely decorated, sprinkled with many Northern Michigan touches :) It does need a few upgrades but overall it is very nice!

DIRTIEST PROPERTY

The house was covered with hair and dust. We went there and it was impossible to stay we cleaned up vacuumed but still we couldn't clear all the hair and dust, we had 2-year baby with us we found hair in her mouth and vomiting all the way. Worst experience ever!

We had an amazing stay- everything was so comfortable and the house was very clean. Kellyann went above and beyond with personal touches that shows you how much her and her husband cares.

The house very homey and made us feel welcomed. The decorating is awsome and the appliances are very modern. The book they leave to run things is very helpful. The beds and furniture were the most comfortable of any Vrbo’s I’ve stayed in. Would stay here again.

Awesome vacation with family!

This place was amazing and the hosts went above and beyond to provide a welcoming, peaceful, beautiful home in between the lakes! Location is ideal for a day at Mackinac Island or exploring the U.P. The home is very well appointed with everything you could need and more! The attention to detail showed in every room. We spent time in the evening gathered around an inviting fire, roasting marshmallows and making memories. The hosts even delivered a corn hole set so we could all play. Wow! You don't see that kind of customer service in today's world. We had a marvelous stay and we would definitely stay here again! Thank you Kelly Ann and Dan! You guys are the best hosts we've ever had!

Great property!

Our family of 5 had a great time with plenty of room for everyone. With a 2 teenagers and a younger kid, there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space (both inside and outside). We loved the cleanliness of the house, and outside with the grilling station, fire pit, and trails through the property.

Family and pooch- Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The host has thought of everything, from daily essentials to a well-stocked coffee bar. We brought our senior dog along, and she was welcomed with some doggie treats. We also enjoyed the grill station and had a relaxing night by the fire pit after spending the day at Mackinac Island. We highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay at a very peaceful place.
