Northern get away

Very cute house. Loved the big kitchen. Was disappointed with the weather. Was a little cooler weather and no heater for the pool. I knew that going in but would be nice if there was a heater for the pool being in northern Michigan. But overall had a nice quiet weekend with the wife.
