ROOMS AND FURNISHINGS: The house has a roomy main living area with comfortable seating. The three bedrooms include beds of the following sizes: a king in the master bedroom, a queen size in room 2, and a queen size bed in room 3. The dining table seats six people (8 if needed), and the bathrooms both include a tub/shower combination. A wash room with a counter for folding clothes and a washer/dryer are available for your convenience.

Sister getaway
My 3 sisters and I stayed at Clark’s beautifully designed mid-century modern style home. Unbelievable amount of space and so well maintained. Felt so accommodating with large bedrooms and closet space. With 4 women the 2 full bathrooms were very much appreciated. And not only was the interior of the property beautiful but the grounds were also. We sat at the large dining table in the mornings and watched the deer come into the yard near the quiet pond and woods. Clark was so friendly and amiable to work with. We were all so happy with our stay in Midland. Not far from several really great restaurants and the Dow Gardens and Chippewa Nature Preserve. Both beautiful walks. Highly recommend this or other Clark Most vacation locations.

Stunning!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! There are not enough words to describe the architecture of the house. It is so beautifully decorated, the art throughout the house is incredible. The ambiance of this house made us feel so secluded, even though we were minutes from town. The host was easy to communicate with

The house is very special inside and out. Lots of room for several people to mingle and share time together. Comfortable beds with nice bathrooms and a good cooking arrangement. We enjoyed our stay even through the rainy days.
