Loved the view
House was very clean and the view is absolutely breathtaking. The only problem was not hearing back from our host. I had sent her a message a week before asking if there was a coffee pot or Keurig to bring pods but never got a reply. After arriving we tried our absolute best to get the WiFi but it would not connect. I sent her another email with no reply the entire 4 days we were there

Would not recommend. Poorly kept property. VERY strong natural gas odor. Neglected!!!!
No communication from host. Reached out 4 times before Jodi responded. Overpriced-bath door doesn’t close, no fans, urine odor, broken screens, broken outside furniture, hole in flooring, hole in walls, no ceiling fans in common area, furniture is dilapidated. Grass is overgrown and so many bugs as a result. Wastebasket in kitchen instead of trash can. Could go on and on. Don’t recommend!

Not a good place and not a good place to stay.
No air conditioning on property. Property is in bad shape and in need of repair. No front doors, had to walk in from garage door inside that was unlocked. Place smelled like bug killer. We messaged host about no air conditioning and no response. We then chose not to stay at property and ask host to refund. They have never responded. We stayed at a hotel instead. First bad experience I have had.

A night stay..
Curb appeal, the house needs work. Inside the garage has a gas smell that is very strong in the morning. The windows all need to be updated. Only 4 windows open in the home and on a hot humid day, the house is unbareable as there isnt any air conditioning. Only fans in the home are the 2 ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Also, the stove needs a good cleaning and the dryer door doesnt shut.
Overall, can see they have done some updates in the home just needs quite bit more.
The neighborhood is peaceful and the view of the bridge and lake huron is beautiful.

Macinac Beachfront
The house was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake and the bridge. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch overlooking the lake and having a full kitchen. On the negative side there was a distinct gas odor in the garage and I would have liked to have extra garbage bags and a few dish towels. I would definitely stay there again!

Not satisfactory
Tons of deferred maintenance. Burned out lightbulbs, main entrance to house through the garage with lightbulb out over steps, light above sink in main bath didn’t work. Hot and cold water was reversed in half bath. Vertical blinds at patio door half busted out. No towel bar in half bath. Washer in half bath kept door from closing, 12 inch gap. Bad rust stain in bathtub from leaky faucet. Exterior photo was not sent to us even though we asked for it prior to arrival.
