Annual Treetops Ski Weekend
Our family and friends have been visiting Gaylord for the past several years and our annual ski weekend at Treetops has become a favorite for our (now) teenagers as well as the adults. All years previous to this one, we stayed at a different VRBO property nearby. However, that property was unavailable this year, so we were lucky enough to find “Whispering Trees”! We are SO glad that we did! We have stayed in numerous VRBOs around the USA and this one had the best stocked kitchen by far. The home was incredibly clean and the little special touches around the inside of the home were much appreciated. (Adorable coffee bar with complimentary chocolate, direction cards posted around the home explaining how to operate everything (fold out couches, decorative fireplace, etc.). Maybe the best part was Margaret - the property manager. I’m not sure I’ve ever dealt with a more helpful or attentive property manager. She was so pleasant and friendly to work with. The property outdoors is beautiful - I’d love to visit in the summer to enjoy the beautiful 3 seasons room and many acres outside!
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024
