Quiet and peaceful

House was better than expected, we have been on three snowmobile trips this year and this was the best house we have stayed in. Wish the towns in Michigan were as friendly to Snowmobilers as Wisconsin or the U.P. Is so we would book this house again in a minute!

February Snowmobile trip

Great cottage in Lakes of the North right on the snowmobile trail. The cottage and heated garage were exactly as advertised. Four adults enjoyed our 3 night stay with plenty of space & everything needed for cooking meals and hanging out between rides. Everyone agreed the beds were comfortable.

3rd stay here

Upon arrival the house had not been clean and beds not made.this was resolved pretty quickly. When we arrived there was 1/2 roll of toilet paper. When they showed up to clean we were gone to dinner. They left one more roll of tp for 4 guys staying 4 nights.. No paper towel in the kitchen. 1 roll would have been nice as we made breakfast every morning. They need a professional to get rid of the mice. We could hear them and traps everywhere. None of these issues on past stays here

Quiet Cottage

Nice little cottage, clean and well furnished. We loved that it was at the end of the street which was very quiet. Another huge positive was having the trails right in the back yard. We would most definitely return.

Great home base

We went up north for a little getaway. Used the cottage as a home base to do local activities. We were a group of 2 families and we had 5 kids with us. The loft area was perfect for them. The Kids: 12-16 y.o. all enjoyed the pool at the clubhouse. Need to bring your own towels to the pool. We would stay here again in the future.

The cottage was pretty much as advertised. Large enough for a small group. Kitchen is equipped for cooking. Internet was very good for streaming and other devices. We would book again.

A Peaceful Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable cabin. We ran into a couple of snags when we first arrived. Nothing major that ruined our opinion of the place or would prevent us from booking again. But I did reach out to the guest contact and never heard back. Overall though, the home was clean and comfortable. Our kids loved having the loft area all to themselves. It really was the perfect getaway spot after the busyness of Christmas!

Renters be cautious

Upon arrival we noticed grass was long, not a huge deal. (Owner apologized via email). Garage was a big deal for us parking rzrs at night, but the garage door was broken so no garage. 4 youngish kids so wifi was a bonus, but that didn’t work either. I got it working but it cut out Saturday morning. There’s no screens in any of the windows so if you want a cool night breeze, forget about it. After a long day of riding Saturday we all took cold showers as the hot water didn’t work, and anytime the shower was on the bathroom toilet, kitchen sink, and bathroom sink would make bubbling noise and the toilet overflowed during my wife’s shower. (Clean water thankfully) It was nice to know based on the ad, that there’s a trail RIGHT by the house for quick access, but there’s no ORV signs posted because it’s a snowmobile route. Lastly, we found a ton of wolf spiders in our dirty linen bags when we got home. I kindly mentioned the wifi and garage door to the owner via email, they offered a $100 refund, but we never heard from them after responding, and never seen the refund. For almost $900/3nights, we had higher expectations.

It was okay- different color house than advertised

The house is actually a navy blue (which looks really good). It just threw us off because we were looking for a cream house when first arriving. The landscaping could have been better. The grass was super tall and just needed to be maintained. The location was good. We went to Torch lake one day and Mackinac Island another day and it was located well for our travels.

Adequate accommodations

Adequate accommodations. No frills, nothing above and beyond. Comfortable beds and plenty of pillows to choose from. Garage light did not work, one bedroom comforter had strong fabric softener smell that was too much for a sensitive nose. The refrigerator made an annoying random sound like ice maker unloading but had no ice maker. Batteries dead in wall clock. Deck appears to need replacing. Just a bunch of small things that would have been nice to not encounter.. Would still stay here again.
