    We had a great 3-week stay! The property is really well equipped - from beach chairs and umbrellas to kitchen gadgets and baking pans to a hammock and garage full of games, the hosts have really thought have everything. While the property is a bit isolated, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the woods and space for our kiddos to run around.

    This was the perfect house for our family for the week! The location is perfect - just a short drive to Good Harbor Bay, or into Glen Arbor, or Sleeping Bear Dunes. The kids played a ton of badminton whenever we were hanging around the house, or played air hockey in the garage..The garage also had plenty of beach chairs, etc, so we didn't even need to pack our own, which saved a ton of space in the car. And this was probably the cleanest rental house we've ever been to (and I've rented a lot of houses, especially in Michigan). Thank you, Erin, for a great week!

    We visited in the fall to bike and e-bike on the nearby trails. This quaint place was perfect for the four of us, with all the needed amenities. The trails and wineries were conveniently close by. Communication with the owner was excellent; they promptly answered all our questions about the property. We would definitely stay here again.

    From booking this lovely retreat to closing the door to go home....everything was smooth and easy! We had a wonderful weekend! This home is cozy, clean and extremely well equipped with everything you could want from a vacation rental and more! Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Three couples on a golf and wine tasting weekend, so close to everything very centrally located. Erin the owner was a SUPER HOST and was so helpful with tips to get around as this was a Triathlon Weekend but we never even noticed the race. A fabulous golf course just minutes from the home along with shopping and wonderful restaurants was enjoyed by all. Hospitality PLUS! The fire pit, basketball hoop, and Foosball table was a pleasant surprise! All in all 10 stars!!! Thank you for a wonderful time!!

    If you have ever dreamed of living in an Ikea showroom, this is your house! Adorable, well appointed, clean and comfortable. Spent 4 nights here with our college-aged kids. The house is in the woods with a short drive to civilization (haha) -- very close to Pyramid Point which is a perfect spot for family photos : )

    The Hydrangea House met out our families expectations and more. The house was clean, updated, and well furnished for our week long stay. It was a great home base centrally located for all of our Up North adventures. The owner gave us plenty of helpful recommendations for dining, shopping, and much more. Whether rafting on the Platte, hitting beaches along Lake Michigan, wine tasting or day tripping to Traverse City on a rainy day, we were just a short drive away. Can't miss with this one!

    This was a beautiful home/property. It had everything you could want. On top of everything being brand new, the owners provided an expansive list of things to do and places to go, including restaurants and beaches in the area. This was extremely helpful and made our stay much better. The garage was also full of games/activities. Great for kids. This place couldn't be better.
