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.

Loved the hot tub
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.

It was...fine
The photos on this listing really need an update, as we feel we didn't expect what we pulled up to. Landscaping was severely needed as everything was overgrown. The yard shown is not fenced and there isn't much privacy since it's a corner lot. Upon entering the home the first thing we saw was that the washing machine was broken which we were not informed of.
The second thing we noticed is the house's AC is provided via window units--which isn't a problem for most, however we have horrible allergies and this house had no ventilation. We had to run the AC 24/7 for it to feel cool, which also made the house feel muggy and humid. My husband got really sick the first night and only felt relief by sitting outside.
The first morning I cooked bacon, which was a mistake because the stove does not have a vent above it, and since the AC was in the window we couldn't vent out the house even after opening other windows in other rooms.
Then there's the bugs and cleanliness. We weren't informed that at some point there was a bug infestation and noticed ant traps everywhere and dead ants under the cabinets and on the floors. Every night we were also killing earwigs in the living room and on the walls.
Nothing looked clean, overall the floors and walls looked dirty or were stained. The soaps in the house weren't refilled, but instead just refilled with water.
Overall, it's a house, it served it's purpose, but wouldn't recommend until the listing is properly maintained.

Price matches experience
The host is great. Fast and reliable communication. The house is themed for a beachy feel. It is about a 12ish minute drive to the lake. The 2 bedrooms are good size as are the closets. Come to think of it, the only undersized room is the bathroom. The bathroom door can shut if you force it (I think). The shower, because the bathroom door doesn't like to close and doesn't have a fan, can set off the smoke detector in the bedroom. The transitions between the living and kitchen/bedroom spaces are big, at least an inch. Everyone stubbed a toe at least once. The twin beds are more like squeaky cots. Something probably not in the host control was the washer being broken during our visit. The yard is big and mostly private. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get in and out. The hot tub is good. There are plenty of towels and hooks for wet towels in the entry way. Overall, this home is good for a stay. The price matches what you get.

Excellent Stay
This is our 2nd stay at this house and we had another awesome stay. We had 3 adults and 2 kids (14 y/o and 11 y/o). We did bring an inflatable mattress to put in the living room to give us more sleep space, but overall enough places to sleep for 4-5 adults and/or kids.
We grilled and built a fire and it was great to have all the supplies available for us (except the firewood which they tell you you need to buy). There's a Martin's store about 4 minutes away for buying groceries. The kitchen is stocked with all of the utensils, plates, toaster and some spices. Really they have thought of everything for you if you're going to be cooking or grilling.
There's plenty of towels and beach towels for the hot tub, which was an awesome added feature since it was too cold and rainy for us to go to the beach.
My 11 y/o son has Autism and using air B&Bs are really the best way for us to travel with his diet restrictions and the noises he can tolerate and amount of things we have to bring from home so we really appreciate finding awesome homes like this one that make check in easy and have all the essentials.

A few things needed.
Handrail going up steps from utility to kitchen. Grab bars needed in shower ...at least 3 of them. Bathroom door does not fit and close...carpenter needed to adjust it. Night lights are needed. Walmart sells a multi pack. $12. Hooks needed in bathroom for towels and clothing. Dog poop was on patio, we dont have a dog. Bedroom ceiling fan needs chains extended. Patio chairs are coming apart and holes.
