    The house was right on the snowmobile trail. Garage bar area was fun with the dart board. Only complaint is the grill was nonfunctional because the burners were all shot. Cooking supplies were pretty bare.

    House was as listed. Some basic were in small supply(dishwasher pods,toilet paper,paper towls). Otherwise it worked well for our group of 7 adult men up for a golf trip.

    The access to trails was perfect, the quiet end of the road was perfect, garage very convenient & definitely a plus for our ATV's. We purchased clubhouse passes but didn't end up using them. Couple cleanliness concerns but nothing too crazy. The bathroom rugs hadn't been washed in a bit and the comforter on the top bunk upstairs had stains all over it. We just took it off. Could use some TLC such as a broken door jam on one bedroom door and damaged drywall in the other. We were just get worried about being blamed. All in all we would rent this property again.

    Stayed three nights while turkey hunting. Hunting wasn’t that great. The cabin was very comfortable. We all slept great and enjoyed the peace and quiet at the end of the road.

    House was better than expected, we have been on three snowmobile trips this year and this was the best house we have stayed in. Wish the towns in Michigan were as friendly to Snowmobilers as Wisconsin or the U.P. Is so we would book this house again in a minute!

    Upon arrival the house had not been clean and beds not made.this was resolved pretty quickly. When we arrived there was 1/2 roll of toilet paper. When they showed up to clean we were gone to dinner. They left one more roll of tp for 4 guys staying 4 nights.. No paper towel in the kitchen. 1 roll would have been nice as we made breakfast every morning. They need a professional to get rid of the mice. We could hear them and traps everywhere. None of these issues on past stays here

    Great cottage in Lakes of the North right on the snowmobile trail. The cottage and heated garage were exactly as advertised. Four adults enjoyed our 3 night stay with plenty of space & everything needed for cooking meals and hanging out between rides. Everyone agreed the beds were comfortable.

    The house is actually a navy blue (which looks really good). It just threw us off because we were looking for a cream house when first arriving. The landscaping could have been better. The grass was super tall and just needed to be maintained. The location was good. We went to Torch lake one day and Mackinac Island another day and it was located well for our travels.
