Party of 4 couples for our stay. House was just as advertised with anything you could need in the kitchen available. Grill was great according to my hubby as well. Linens, beds and pillows were all comfy for all guests which is not common when we travel as a group. Only bummer was I requested a later check out while at the property (short two day stay) and never got an answer. Otherwise all communications were great.

Perfect home for our group of families. Great location close to so many things to do. House was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. Only downside was the house wasn't ready at check-in because the cleaning service was behind schedule.

Perfect family-friendly getaway between Harbor Springs and PetoskeyThis house was perfect for our vacation. We stayed with another family (4 adults, 4 kids total) and the space worked beautifully for everyone: tons of room to spread out, plenty of bathrooms, and a well-stocked kitchen that made meals easy.The location was ideal — tucked in a quiet, safe neighborhood but still only about 8 minutes to downtown Harbor Springs and around 12–15 minutes to Petoskey. We loved the backyard, which had space for the kids to run around, and appreciated thoughtful touches like blackout shades, toys, step stools, kids’ dishes, and more. They truly thought of everything for families.The property management team was responsive and helpful. We had a small hiccup with the door code at check-in, but they fixed it quickly and were great to work with.We had a blast here and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Home
The house was very comfortable for our family. We had a total of 7 with two being children. The bunk room was a hit for them. It was well stocked with everything from towels to games for the family. The management company was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The house is very well kept and clean. This would be a great place in the summer too with the play structure and fire pit. Easy to get to and close to the ski resorts
