Ice Fishing

Winter trip

Excellent all around! Property was beautiful and welcoming. Girls enjoyed feeding the birds! Plenty of space in every room for all of our gear for snowmobiling. Great spaces for us to eat together and relax together. Julie and Peter were extremely responsive and understanding of anything that came up! Thank you so much! We will be back for our next trip!

Attention to Details

This place was very clean and the attention to details was not unnoticed. Nice kitchen supplies, nice towels and everything labeled. I appreciated the attention to organization that made it easier to find things. If we visit this area in the future I would stay here again:) Our was to go snowmobiling and while there wasn’t enough snow in this area we found a place in Boyne that has a trail that is protected in the woods. We also did snow tubing in Grayling because of places near Gaylord being sold out. Hope that helps for anyone looking for similar activities in the area.

Perfect family getaway

This house turned out to be the perfect choice for us. Our granddaughters loved their bedrooms. Each bedroom was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and so much more. The only thing you should need to bring are the ingredients for your recipes. The homeowners were very responsive, both prior to and during our stay, to any of our questions. An added bonus - the attached garage with a door opener and remote. A luxury during the snowy Michigan winters.

Excellent Spacious Rental

My family rented this house and we spent some time at it as well. They loved the multiple bird feeders by the windows and enjoyed drinking coffee in the mornings and watching the wildlife right outside their windows. This rental seemed even larger than the pictures showed and it was perfect for what we needed. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond if we had any questions or concerns.
