The property is ok for the price per night. It does need some work like plug cover in bathroom, batteries for smoke detectors, windows that are hard to open or do not shut all the way (front bedroom). The bed in main back bedroom is real firm, can not speak on other rooms, we did not use them.
Came here with my wife, 4 kids ages 2-11 and my dogs. This place was perfect for us. It has a great back yard that all the kids loved. Inside was nice and clean and had all the amenities we needed. Lots of toys for my little ones. Overall great stay!! Not far from the lake at all.
This place was a perfect set up for our three grandkids, ages 6 to 15. The place felt very cozy and familiar. Great yard for our lab and the kids were constantly playing with the huge selection of toys both inside and out. Not a fan of the memory foam mattress, too firm for me. The other rooms worked out great and all enjoyed their nights. Washer/Dryer was a BIG plus.
The property is on a very noisy and busy road. The yard isn’t completely fenced for your pet and we found many poison ivy bushes. The furniture was broken and the air conditioner stopped working on the first day. Seating for only four people in the kitchen but sleeping for six. Yard wasn’t mowed.
We stayed here for a short trip. When we arrived the house wasn’t in the cleanest condition. The dishes were dirty, in the bed we sleeped in there was a women’s shirt under the blanket so we didn’t even know if the bedding was washed there was also a bottle of alchol left in the dresser that was opened. If kids were staying there I would hate for them to have stayed in that room. Just made us feel like the house wasn’t really looked over prior to our stay. Overall the location was amazing there was just a couple little things like cleanliness and the internet didnt work half the time that could improve.
Check in was awesome m, we enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back next year!! we took our puppy and the fences in backyard worked great!! Everyone had a blast and very close to the water was nice.
Nice stay! We liked the fenced-in back yard for our dog to run around without worry. Perfect place for a family with kids and pets!
I enjoyed the big fence in yard out back. We stayed for work in the area and wasnt there much. It met our needs and would stay again.
The home was comfortable. We didn’t spend much time in the home, but we slept comfortably and we’re able to cook as needed. The home was close to town, so getting groceries was simple. Owner provided a lot of notes to help with using WiFi and set expectations for check in/out
Pros: April was a wonderful host, and responded quickly to any questions I had. The house had a great location, and the backyard was very private. The house was pretty spacious, and had lots of fun things for kids, including a play set in the yard. Pets are allowed, which was a huge bonus for us. Washer and dryer were also a nice perk. Cons: there was a window AC unit in the living room, and all the bedrooms had ceiling fans, however, the back bedrooms did get a little warm and stuffy at night. The wi-fi was not great, but there was a DVD player, if you are wanting to watch movies. Overall, it was a good experience! Thanks, April!! :)
The road was a little busy, other than that the house is a good size and we'll appointed.
We only use the property to sleep in at night and make breakfast in the morning. We spent the rest of the time on the lake and at a family members cabin on the lake. No complaints at all April was very responsive to any need or information we may have had. Cabin is well stocked all around great for kids and if you have four legged family members perfect fenced in backyard with playground for the kids even young toddler toys and one of the bedrooms. Highly recommended!
April was a lovely and kind host. Check in process was seamless. Because it’s a new property (hosting) I understand that there may be some bumps in the road. I would have liked to know that the home was a property that people smoke in. Perfectly fine with people’s choices, however, with big allergies in the family and being a non-smoking group, I would have chosen a different property had I known. I feel like this property is really what VRBO started as- you host if you already have a personal property you want to share and not a perfectly clean home that’s managed by a company. That’s great :) However, the cleanliness could have been much, much better…
We stayed over the weekend while visiting family that lives in the area. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed! Great location close to Houghton Lake!
Very nice home with lots for young kids to do. House was very nice & clean. Had everything I needed.
