Great place to stay.
This house is lovely and has pretty much everything you’ll need for a vacation. A couple of items missing from the listing: there is a Keurig in addition to the coffee maker, which was bonus. Also, if you use a hairdryer you’ll need to bring one. It was not shown in the listing as an amenity, we just assumed one would be there. The house was clean, tidy and well furnished. The drive to Nubs Nob was 15 minites max. There is plenty of room in the house with a nice open floor plan.

Even better than we thought it would be
This property was even nicer in person than we thought it would be. Very clean. Master bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was nice with lots of utensils. Backyard was beautiful & very peaceful. Nice table for playing card games/board games. We didn’t use the fireplace but the option was nice. WiFi worked well. Great location, close to ski resorts which is what we were looking for. My kids were sad to leave & are already asking to come back.

Dirtiest bug infested place ever
This place has not been cleaned in months. There are tons of dead bugs all over the place and there was no Wi-Fi Internet or cable Tv . I contacted customer service multiple times from the point of walking in the door. My spouse and I had to walk around the house and clean the entire house before we could even put our stuff in there. I have videos and photos to show you. Someone also put a Coca-Cola can in the freezer and it exploded all over the place. I contacted customer service multiple times and they never helped to resolve this issue. I want some sort of refund

Peaceful home in the trees
We loved the layout of the home but the outside areas were covered in cob webs and the kitchen wasn’t clean. We did ask the maintenance guy to fix the grill and he replaced it with a new one which we really appreciated. Our biggest issue was that on 3 occasions a mouse ran across the floor which put a damper on our entertaining.

Property was well equipped even for bigger groups. Quiet, comfortable. A bit further out of town than we would have liked, but overall we were pleased! Wished we’d had a bit more instructions—on the community amenities etc.

This home is beautiful and spacious! We had enough space for the kids to run around and dance and the grandparents play cards and join in on the dancing. The view of the sunrise from the main floor living space is a great way to wake up and get excited for the day! Thank you for sharing your home!

Family Ski Trip
Clean, sharp, nice, very spacious. Everything worked and home was quite cozy despite cold temps. Furniture in great shape. Cable, internet are fast and easy to you. Love that garage access is available! Nice touch. View out the living room windows is lovely. 15 minutes to ski hills. Amazingly low price for rental compared to so many other properties of lesser quality. Memory foam mattress in main bedroom is a killer, though. Ugh. Somebody needs to swap out several burned out light bulbs. Other than those two things, this place is a gem.

Absolutely wonderful!
We decided to visit Harbor Springs and this was one of the only properties that came up in my search since it was such late notice. It must have been meant to be, because this place is absolutely wonderful. It’s called “scenic sanctuary”, and that’s exactly what it was. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The house is secluded. We used the wood burning fireplace most of the time we were there. The house has everything you need and more. The beds were comfortable, and my five year old loved sleeping on the rollaway bed in the master bedroom. I don’t think I have ever slept so well on a trip. It’s a very short drive to downtown Harbor Springs which is such a charming town. We had the best time playing in the snow and just enjoying the house!!

Nice location and decent property
Good space and great location. Deck was great spot for dining and just relaxing. Only issues were no fire pit (portable unit chained up in garage) and the grill was not usable (think disgustingly filthy) which impacted our meal plans. Didn’t use the country club but it looked really nice. So if you plan to golf, play tennis for go to pool you would really like the amenities.

Great family getaway
This place was so nice, we didn’t want to leave! It was very comfortable for our family of 4. The wooded setting was beautiful. We came for skiing and it was conveniently located for that, plus it was pretty close to Harbor Springs downtown too. The master bedroom’s king bed is so comfortable too!! We will definitely be back! Thanks!
