The location is terrible

This house is located off a road that appears to be owned by a hotel. The house is directly next to warehouses and some type of linen cleaning facility. This house will not allow you to feel like your on vacation.

Big house with plenty of parking and privacy

The house was secluded so that was a huge plus. Plenty of parking as well if you have multiple cars. Communication with host was lacking until the week of the stay. That aside, very nice stay.

Disappointed Renters

When we checked in there was not a clear direction of where property Was located. It is located at the end of a driveway at a laundry cleaning facility. Upon finding the house the landscaping was over grown, the house on the outside was very dirty and full of moss. There was no toilet paper at the house, no bar soap or hand soap of any kind , no dishwashing soap. There were several TVs but non had batteries in the remotes, the only tv available was a 1- dvd player in the living room. They claim there is an antenna but there was no signal on any tvs. We called to get internet password several times and left messages, the host never returned our calls. The garbage disposal was seized up, and did not work. there was no direction on what to do with garbage and no instructions on what the check process was. These things to most would basic needs, I understand things happen but with no response from the host from Saturday morning till Wednesday morning is unacceptable to me and leaves a very bad feeling about returning.

House was nice but...

The house itself was very nice. Outside needs some work. Shrubs and plants surrounding the house are all overgrown. The kitchen is very poorly stocked. Only a couple pots and pans, no dish soap or dishwasher soap, no spices or seasonings for cooking. Also no kitchen knives. Made it very hard to cook meals. None of the antennae TVs worked. Communication was nonexistent. Never heard from the host on checking in until the afternoon before arrival and then it was just an email stating where we could pick up the key. No check in or check out instructions. Very hard to find the house. You have to drive through by a commercial laundry to find the house. It isn't seen from the highway and there is no house number sign by the highway. Won't be staying here again

Bad First Impression

Property is owned by a motel chain so you get the VBRO look with the motel experience. You have to pick the keys up from a different motel and when we did, they didnt have the keys. They were still cleaning the place and told us that when we get there the cleaners would give us the keys. When we arrived we had to wait 30 minutes past check in for them to finish up and give us the keys and leave which was difficult after a long drive and antsy kids in the car. Once we were in the house, I can say its as lovely as pictured and we were comfortable. Only three complaints - 1) the floors were very dirty/sticky which is strange cus the place smelled clean. Its almost as if when the floor was washed last, the soap was left to dry instead of being mopped up. 2) there are several exterior doors (6 I believe) and all of them were left unlocked upon our arrival. Had I not thought to check all of them, we wouldve went to sleep with doors open. 3) The listing says that the property is lakeside and has a communal pool - neither is true. The lake is across the 4-lane road (house is set back into the woods a bit) and if there is a pool I imagine its the pool at one of the owned motels and were never provided instructions to access it. Tips for finding the location - Directly across from Sun Beach and Northwinds Motel (look for large green campground billboard). Take an immediate right and drive past the all industrial cleaning buildings all the way down.

Great Michigan getaway with a private setting

Our family of mostly adults and a couple children had a wonderful stay. There was enough seating for eating and lots of room outdoors for plane and s’mores at the campfire. The bedding was comfortable and the bathrooms were adequate and well stocked. The location was nice and private for hanging our hammock. And stargazing at night. You are 1 to 2 miles away from everything needed at downtown Mackinac city very close to the ferry, hiking/biking trail and all this area offers. We couldn’t get the dishwasher to work, but that was not that big of a deal. Their washer and dryer worked great. We brought some of her own entertainment to connect to their TV living room is a little dated, but it gives you a nice cabin feel. I would recommend.

Not a happy camper

The house was hard to find due to linen company sharing driveway, and construction comp. Did not feel like home. Plug in heaters to warm entire house, broken faucet, dirty yard, no way to make meals with old/dirty pots/pans. Whole house was not clean at all, smells musty. No extra blankets for kids. This house needs tlc.

Bad place to stay.

The worst we have experienced in more than 15 years of using VRBO. Should be delisted. Poorly furnished. Inadequate kitchen pans/utensils. No cable and internet which was not apparent until you booked and made the first payment. No extra toilet paper. No soap in the bathrooms. No dish detergent or dishwasher detergent. No laundry detergent. All people we dealt with we’re rude. Don’t stay there!

Family vacation

If you are looking for an expensive, poorly maintained guest home with no essential items (salt/pepper, trash bags, paper towels etc). None. Very minimal, low quality cooking utensils and supplies. No WiFi. Photos that totally misrepresent all the interior furnishings and exterior of the home. An odd mildew smell in parts of the home. Floors that will make your feet black on bottom, along with a rude and condescending host…….this unit is for you.

False Advertising!!

You can’t read reviews until after you book- that’s your first red flag! Everything from prev reviews is true. The worst part is being so close to the industrial laundry facility. There is only a thin line of trees separating the house & the new addition to the facility. A past renter complained about the entire house having cheap, ugly hotel furniture instead of the aesthetically decorated house in the pictures- this is 100% true and so disappointing. Past renters complained about the house being filthy- our experience wasn’t terrible in this area however I am not sure who I have to thank for that- the owner or past renters who stated they deep cleaned the fridge among other areas of the house. Past renters complained about the lack of security on the doors, the owners fixed this problem by placing several zip ties on the office French doors (lazy & unsafe!). A past renter complained about a laundry truck blocking them in, unable to leave -that happened to us too. This trip was supposed to be for a bachelorette party, however due to a death in the bride’s family 4 days after the “no refund” date, the prop owner did not even respond to our messages for even a partial refund! The room with 4 single beds was very hot. Outside grounds are atrocious and covered in ant hills! The exterior landscaping is overgrown and moss grows in the roof and stairs. Pros: It is a place to sleep conveniently located to town. We enjoyed the fire pit and beach access. Good luck if you stay here.

The listing is misleading

Vrbo should probably delist this house. While the house is workable, the posting for this place is misleading. First, the house in the photo is not the same house, which is weird because while the house is a bit dirty on the outside, it's not a bad place. The house is not in the woods. Its close to a major highway and there is an industrial area right by the house. Looks like something was rezoned by the house and the owner is just trying to squeeze as much cash out of it before the house isn't useable. Also, basic amenities were missing/broken. No working coffee maker. Hot water was in very short supply and weirdly sporadic. Couldn't even properly lock the house, needed to use zip ties on a back door to "secure" it. No dishwasher/laundry detergent. No working can openers. Yeah, like I said, whoever owns this house is putting as few resources as possible into this place to take advantage of low info customers. If listed for $200 a nite, ok fine, but not this.

TERRIBLE STAY

House was in the middle of nowhere. It was hard to find the house. It was next to a laundry industrial facility. Once we got to the house it was not off the lake and couldn't see the lake. The house was dirty and smelled bad. The carpet was nasty, and it was stains on the toilets. The house does not have WIFI. An overall dump. Never again.

You don't want to stay here.

The location of this property is super awkward and not appealing. Its directly next to a municipal laundry facility that you have to drive around to get to the house because there are always trucks blocking the driveway. There was construction happing directly next to the house which woke us up on a Sunday morning. The house is not well stocked, cheap everything, stains and dirt all over the carpet, the bathroom rugs look as if they have never been cleaned. None of the tv remote controls had batteries. The heat was not working when we arrived. It was 50 degrees in the house and we had to deal with a maintenance man to get it fixed. The upstairs shower did not work so all 6 of us had to share the grimey shower on the first floor. This is at the top of the list for worst rental experiences.

It was perfect for my family. Check in was easy but I don't think I could have found it on my own. House was very clean. It was right on this trail so it was easy to ride bikes to the ferry dock, even with small kids. The waterpark access was a nice extra. All the kids really loved it. Great for families!

Clean and spacious

We had a couple families stay together and there was plenty of room. The house is definitely spacious! I saw alot of reviews about cleanliness and was worried but we didn't have any issues. The house was very clean. We were there in fall so there wasn't much for landscaping. It also rained alot so we didn't do much in the yard. We enjoyed our stay and recommend for large groups.
