Backyard was quaint and relaxing, including the hot tub and fire pit area. We had a blast doing the escape room that the hosts offered at the house. There were plenty of restaurants nearby.

    Picked this spot because of its ease of access to our multipronged trip. Campus visit, Lake Michigan, Clear Lake and Buchanan trips. My girls loved the hot tub and escape room escapade, my parents enjoyed the comfortable beds and spacious living room accommodations. Todd was knowledgeable and provided all the necessary info for an easy trip. Would stay again!

    The property was clean and cozy however there were several issues that need to be addressed. There are several light switches that do not operate anything. The rooms have lamps however getting to them in a dark, unknown house can be problematic. The worst problem was that the main stairwell had no light in it. There were two switches in the stairwell but neither one worked. Lastly, the cold water in the downstairs shower would not turn on.

    We booked this rental last minute when we had to come into town for a funeral. We have 4 young children ranging from 3 months to 7 years old, we thought being stuck in 2 hotel rooms would be a disaster and this home really saved our trip. The host was great with communication, answering every question we had with in the hour. The home was cozy and great for the kids. Our only regret is we did not have time to use the hot tub.every question we
