THE TRUE NORTH Presents… šŸ” Sugarloaf Chalet | Hot Tub, Fireplaces & Pet-Friendly āž  2510

Cozy and spacious!

We booked this house for a 40th birthday getaway and it was great! Lots of space, plenty of beds, stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and comfortable living spaces. Our favorite part was the fireplace in the living room. It was so cozy! We were close to Maple City and Glen Arbor for hiking, curling, shopping, and restaurants. Would definitely recommend this house.

Comfortable home for our family, baby, and dogs. The positives are definitely the layout and bed sizes/comfortability. The kitchen was in great shape as well. The hot tub was a major plus! The deck furniture should be replaced—it was broken down to the point that it could not be used. And the entire area surrounding the house is full of plants with burrs so you have to be super cautious when you let dogs out or they will come back covered. Overall, we did enjoy our stay and were very comfortable in the house.

Fun but poor communication

Overall, we had a great time the home is in the woods and the backyard is great! We did have a couple issues with the house though, the major one being that the grill that was available was a safety hazard for us. 2/3 grill plates were completely broken and the 3rd one was rusting, it ended up catching on fire which was a safety hazard. It’s really hard to get in touch with the owner and the property management company does not respond when you try to call them.
