Great house with plenty of space. Nice touch with having beach towels available. The cornhole boards were an added bonus as well. We totally enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others
Great, turn of the century Michigan summer cottage for a large group. Really enjoyed it. Had to wash the master bed sheets and mattress pad because they smelled like musty sweat. After that all good. Easy to communicate with the owner when we needed. Highly recommended!
