Golf trip

This location was ideal for some of the golf courses we had planned for the weekend. Nice restaurant near by is very good! Was very dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the exterior of the property. Cob webs were all over all of the exterior furniture, the exterior doors, windows, and front garage area. House was adequate for what we needed and our sleeping arrangements.

Poor communication and very dirty

We had to buy cleaning supplies to clean the property before settling in. A lot of things were broken and we fixed most of them so make our stay more comfortable. When reported to the rental management they never responded back. The house was full of spiders inside and out On the positive we enjoyed the lake and the view.

Lovely property, but…

The inside was very lovely and quite comfortable. The view was spectacular! Since this is a lake home with so much time spent outside more attention should be placed on the exterior that was in disrepair and the landscaping needed a lot attention. Regardless, we 5 sisters had a wonderful time!

ABOUT THE OWNER

Monica started North Star Properties with one goal. To better serve the Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan Area with a concierge service mentality for short term rentals. From the North suburbs of Detroit she was bred to be in the real estate industry. Both of her parents were entrepreneurs. She watched as her father built Gauthier Corporation, a very successful construction company, which is still running as strong as ever. Her mother started a cleaning company that meticulously made sure every home shined like the top of the Chrysler building. Working for both of her parents growing up, she understands the drive and passion it takes to achieve success. Prior to starting North Star Properties, she sold real estate on the Northside of Chicago before moving to the Dunes and making a permanent home.
"As a Realtor and Property Manager, I want to bring back the kind of service people forgot about it and should still come to expect from their agents today!
