Reviewer Comments:
I surprised my wife with a trip to Michigan’s beautiful shores. Initially we were going to take an RV, but at the last minute that wasn’t feasible so I booked this location for lodging. I was pleasantly surprised that the price was only $200 a night, as we were only staying for a few days, and thought we could save a few bucks. Man, was I mistaken.Make no mistake - Northern Michigan Escapes is going to get at least $1000 out of you, and very creatively. The fees are CRAZY, but quite frankly, I was OK with that because of the purpose of the trip. However, the fees are applied with no follow thru.Im going to focus on the cleaning fee, as it was the most egregious. If I pay almost $200 in“cleaning” I don’t expect to have to clean up the quarry of the local spiders in every room. I don’t expect to clean up mouse feces in the kitchen and living areas, and I certainly don’t expect to clean up pubic hairs in the shower, off the toilet and in the bathroom sink.I reached out to my “agent” about these issues, but I was completely ghosted once they had my money. Stay away from Northern Michigan Escapes.P.S. For context, I am writing this from a beachfront condo in OBX where every fee was less, and when I had a MINOR issue, Les came by, fixed the problem and came back with a “Hey, we’re sorry about that” gift bag.
