Our family had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back again! The house looks exactly like the pictures provided. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed and then some! The house was spacious and in a very nice, safe neighborhood as well! The host was very fast to respond to any questions we had. We wished we had more time to stay longer! Thanks for everything Samantha and we look forward to our next stay in your beautiful home!
As someone who is extremely picky about cleanliness, I can honestly say this home was definitely up to my standards. The home was decorated and styled so beautifully! I am an interior designer so I truly loved all of the decor and furniture. My
Kids loved the game room in the basement and really enjoyed the pool, and jacuzzi. Pool was not as heated as we would have liked the first day but it ended up warming up. Home is fully equipped with paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap and hand soap which was nice because most homes only supply the first batch. Great location as well! We spent a lot of time in traverse city. Only about 35 mins away. We will definitely be coming back! I hope it continues to remain well maintained and as clean as it was.
We were very deceived by pictures and reviews. The place was very old and didn’t have everything we needed for our stay. There were barely any cooking essentials. The bathroom towel bar was broken but was left there, when I pulled the towel the bar fell on my daughter’s head. The water in sinks and showers was very smelly and rusty. You couldn’t even rinse your mouth with after brushing your teeth. As soon as you open pool doors you could smell the stinky pool. The pool was very very old and rusty and small. Because of the load sound from opening pool door to kitchen everyone had to use outside door to access pool. Upon arrival we had to hose down the porch and seats so we can sit on them everything was very dirty. Everyone kept complaining that thus far this was the worst vacation because we got deceived from profile. We did get a good discount so I didn’t worry to much at time. But now host wants to make us pay over 5 times what we paid for booking. She claims we “trashed” her property, when in fact she knows exactly what she rented to us and that we returned it same as what we got it. We cleaned everywhere before leaving. She claims we “damaged” her pool when pool itself is old and rusty and falling apart. She is very rude and will go all out to ripe you off and call it “damages”.

This review does not reflect the actual condition of the property or the events of this stay. The home is maintained to professional standards, with amenities, photos, and descriptions matching what is provided. Immediately after this reservation, our cleaning and maintenance teams documented damage exceeding $7,000, including a torn pool liner caused by removal of the ladder bumpers and extensive cleaning requirements far beyond a standard turnover. The lead cleaner, who has serviced this property for some time, confirmed this was the most severe condition they have ever encountered.
This review was posted after we requested that the guest take responsibility for the documented damages. The content and timing make it clear that this is a retaliatory statement rather than an accurate reflection of the stay. The property has since been restored and continues to receive positive feedback from other guests. We enforce our policies consistently to protect the quality of the home and ensure it is presented in the condition advertised for every booking.
