Great Northern Michigan Retreat
This property was perfect for our group - 2 families, comprised of 4 adults and 5 children. We had plenty of space, and having the full basement with game room was a huge bonus for our stay! The house was clean and the amenities were awesome. We loved the double sided fireplace and we were able to totally disconnect and relax. We will definitely keep this property in our rotation.

Bugs, mold, broken appliances and water leaks in the ceiling
This is was was an awful stay. The Water heater was replaced during our visit and the water was shut completely off and the handymen were permitted to in the house with us guests despite us being assured they wouldnt be inside the house. A bug resembling a cockroach was found walking along a bathroom sink. The fireplace wouldn’t turn on. The refrigerator froze everything. There was also a water leak in the ceiling in the basement. And multiple drop ceiling tiles were moldy in the basement. But for our “inconvenience” we were offered to stay two extra hours. It was a bad joke.

Comfortably Spacious and Well Equipped
Two sets of grandparents and a family of 5 with 3 children under 6 years old had a very comfortable weekend located close to other family members staying at nearby properties while coming together for a nephew's memorial service. Children thoroughly enjoyed the game room, and the setting was a beautiful walk to nearby properties.

The property location is perfect. Nice home with plenty of room for 3 families, all 12 of us. The only negatives were the horrible sewer smell outside the home. We build a fire outside in the fire pit but the smell was soo bad we couldn’t enjoy. The property description indicated that the indoor pool at Shanty Creek was included and it is not. Overall we enjoyed our family ski weekend.

This home was just as the past reviews say. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of space and lay out of the home. It was great. One con was we found a couple of windows that wouldn’t lock/latch. Other than that- we would rent this home again!

House was PERFECT for Group Outing
8 friends from law school got together for 3 days of golf and boating. House was amazing with lots of space to eat, drink, talk, enjoy the views, and late-night game room competitions. The host was VERY accommodating and helpful with where things are around the house. The firepit and games and activities were fantastic; really made the house fun. The backyard overlooks the green of a Par-4 hole and it was cool watching groups come in. Less that 15 minutes to restaurants, bars, and the marina where we rented a boat on Torch Lake. Played 2 golf courses on property; this place was great.

Perfect winter break!
I have rented several properties from VRBO and this house one was among the best! The kids loved the game room and the third floor kids bedroom suite was amazing for 3 ...7 year olds. Rick, the owner, checked in to make sure everything was fine and was there everyday to shovel the many inches of snow we received every day.

Perfect house for ski weekend with friends and family
This is a perfect home for a weekend away with friends and family. We had three families with younger children for a ski weekend. The house has lots of sleeping options depending on your group. Lots of space to eat and hang out as well. The owner is very responsive and this was the cleanest house we have ever rented. It was a great location for the ski slopes.
