Superb cleanliness. One of the cleanest rentals I've ever been to. Nicely organized. The updated shower (not shown in photos) was wonderful. Lisa and Mark were very pleasant hosts. Willing to help if needed, yet let you have your privacy if that's what you prefer. Nice quiet surroundings.

The apartment was perfect for my Wife and I. We enjoyed the beaches, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The apartment was clean, had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The hosts were helpful in giving information on the local area. It is attached to the Host's home, but has a private entrance. No issues.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Pyne

Host profile image

Mark and I recently retired from the educational world. We chose to retire in Benzie County and are so pleased with our decision. We have been coming to this area for 30 years and finally bought a place!! Over those 30 years, we have rented many beautiful spaces for vacations and we would like to share our slice of heaven! Come experience the "most beautiful place in America!" Minutes away from hiking, biking, kayaking and fishing.

Mark and Lisa

Why they chose this property

We searched for two years to find our dream home in the perfect location. We love the privacy and the convenience to all M-22 has to offer.
