The house was perfect and was just right for our trip. Kitchen was well stocked pan and container wise. We used the crockpot quite a bit. The beds were good, everyone slept well. We were also able to walk to a small beach each evening and a couple of the days. It is also a quick drive or bike ride to the North Beach.

We only ate snacks as we dined out both nights. We did use the coffee maker and it was great.Had a little issue finding a specific basketball game on the TV but the host was very responsive and helped us get to the station we wanted.Are at Clementines on Friday and it was good. Saturday ate at Black River Tavern which had a live band and it was very good.

Great location and home

This was my family’s first time in Michigan. We wanted to stay for a few days and came across this home that was perfect for our stay. Everything was clean and the home was in the perfect location for a quick trip to north beach. We would love to stay at this location again in the future.

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The house was perfect—quiet, clean, and very comfortable, with everything we needed. We rented bikes and loved being able to ride into town, or take a nice morning walk for coffee. At first, I was a little hesitant about the location, but I’m so glad we went with this place—the location turned out to be absolutely perfect for us. Highly recommend!
