For security purposes there are 4 exterior cameras -no audio - located on all 4 corners of the home. The interior camera was removed.
Place was tastefully decorated, extremely clean and comfortable. Comfortable furniture and beds. Fully stocked kitchen with dishes, pans, and cookware. Wonderful full size deck and small deck next to the water, both were wonderful places to sit and enjoy the scenery. Wonderful view of the water from within the cabin with 2 full size windows, that stretch across the whole wall facing out over the water. If you’re looking for a place to relax, unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the perfect vacation spot.
Had a very comfortable stay for our adult group of 7. Kearsten was very helpful, actually called me a few days before the trip to provide additional details and info for the island and house. Overall, the house was very comfortable and easy to stay in. Only note I have is if you plan on cooking, there was no saranwrap or foil. Basics like salt/pepper/oil were available.
This is an absolutely lovely house in a wonderful location. From furnishings, to decor, to a well stocked kitchen and patio, you have everything you need. My mother and I (both seniors) enjoyed the view, the grill, and the super-comfy beds. CONS: The description of the camera on the property is deceptive in the ad. Multiple outdoor cameras, which were all fine, but also a camera that covers the entire lving room and dining room. The list of chores to do, considering the substantial cleaning fees was a bit overboard compared to our average stays.
For the girls celebrating a Birthday this was a perfect home. It was well stocked with all kitchen, bath and outdoor needs. The layout and décor was very good also. The description online for security states there is One camera in the house pointed on the 2 entrances. To view the 2 entrances with one camera, you also capture the entire living space. Possibly even into one of the bedrooms. Exterior cameras are located on each side of the house and also view the outside entrances, which is no problem at all. Just the one inside made us very uncomfortable. I would definitely rent this property again with changes to the inside security camera.
Thanks Kearston your place is really nice and comfortable, from the great couches and wonderful beds to the table by the huge window to watch the boats go by. We loved the awning on the deck and the rockers by the river. It’s a great place for older folks like us or people with kids to enjoy the slide. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
Great location, updated property and nicely decorated. Enjoyed getting back to the area. Visiting friends and family. Property is well suited for entertaining. The St Clair Flats water ways offer some the best swimming, boating and fishing. The deck chairs at the waterfront simply the best spot to begin and end each day. Excellent communication with the host throughout the stay. .
My sisters and I are so happy that we chose this place for a girls trip to getaway and relax. As soon as we walked in the door we we were so happy and excited with the layout and set-up, and the beautiful water view is amazing. This cottage is creatively decorated and very comfortable. Every piece of furniture was very comfortable, and each bed in the cottage was very comfortable as well with nice bedding as well. This cottage was sparkling clean too. We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The deck was just lovely to sit and talk and laugh with cocktails looking out at the water. The host was very responsive and easy to talk with. All 3 of us are extremely pleased with our stay and can't wait to go back for some sister time!
We were on the island for a memorial service. This was a perfect place to be. There was plenty of indoor space, but it was the outdoor areas that make this house special, with a large deck, and bonfire area overlooking the channel. It was great to watch all the boats go by! Communication was top-notch, too. I'm a travel writer and frequent renter, so well versed in the market.
This place was perfect for a little getaway. Very clean and had everything you can think of. The view was amazing! We will be back again!
7 of us girls stayed here for a bachelorette party getaway and it was perfect. There's lots of space and the place is beautiful. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the back deck with the nice view of the lake. The property manager was very nice and responsive. We had such a great time!
