Great Location

Beautiful cabin in a great location. Communication was great! Cabin is stock with basic essentials. It snowed the day before we went there which made the scenery wonderful but then also covered the patio and driveway. We did have to wait a bit for that to get cleared but gentlemen came early evening and was pleasant. The cabin could use a deep clean and a few more dish towels and rags. Overall wonderful place! Would stay again.

Great Place for Family Getaway

We got there pretty late in the evening but had no problems getting in the door. Cabin had all the amenities we needed. I would recommend bringing a few more blankets if you have "blanket snobs" like my daughters who want their own fluffy blankets. The property was clean, quiet, and close to everything everyone wanted to see. We all went our own way during the day and then came back to the cabin at night. Can't wait to come back again next year.

Great location

Quick 2 night trip for Fall Break. Perfect size for 3 families as far as bedrooms. Would have been nice to have a 3rd bath with basement bedroom. Needs new carpet and many light bulbs out but management agreed and said it’s in the plans. Very easy to communicate with. Bring your own firewood. It wasn’t clear to us.

It was a very nice place. Everyone like the accommodations. The only thing we could suggest would be to make the management more accessible. Maybe that was my fault, as my phone would not call the number listed on the "welcome/rules book", until I got set up with the wifi calling there. and then I did not try again. And there was no key code that we could find so locking the doors was not an option for us. Also a few more benches or stands in the room would be nice to set suitcases on. The availability for a quick phone contact with your guests would have made us more comfortable. But overall, it was very good, and we would come back. Thank you.

Michigan in the house!

Had a great 3 night stay at Goldfinch in Sept. 2023. It was very convenient for the four of us to have a "home base" while visiting all the local tourist attractions. The horses running each morning behind the house was great! The only issue for us was the second bathroom being upstairs, as it was not easy for some of us "seniors" to climb the steps. Other than that, it was great. Beautiful area!
