Overall the house is clean and roomy. It has nice high ceilings. Could use more kitchen pans and utensils for cooking. The location is difficult to find, and GPS does not find the accurate address.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property is not decorated remotely like the photos. Bare walls. Everything is very dated and rundown. The house is large with lots of room but a house that size has to be cleaned much better. Bad dust everywhere, floors were sticky, inside all of the kitchen cabinets were filthy. Half the lights in the house didnt work or we the fixtures were missing. Dishwasher was broken, washing machine smelled really bad. Outside landscaping, everything was overgrown and unkept. The path to the driveway is off putting and can be hard to find the first time around. A simple sign would help or a seperate drive directly to the house. We cleaned then stayed but would not rent again.

The house was adequate. We had to search for towels. There were only partial rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. No extras. For a reservation of 10 people. A toaster was listed as a kitchen appliance but after searching high and low we found none. The dishwasher was broken so with 10 people we had hand wash dishes. And last but not least the directions to find the place were awful. No one’s GOS could find it. The directions given to me when I picked up the key were good to a point. What they didn’t tell me was that when you turn right the first time, you’re turning into the commercial laundry facilities for all the hotels and you have to drive through their their parking lot to find a trail into the wood before you get to the house.

The house was NOT clean at all! It was very dirty, and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The kitchen was also filthy, and had very little in the way supplies to use. The pictures are very misleading, and do not accurately represent the inside or outside of the house. Also, getting to the house is a nightmare. When we arrived back at the house Saturday evening, the driveway was blocked by someone using a large machine, and refused to move it. After argument from our group, they finally moved it so we could access the driveway to the house. As for the positives, the host was very responsive when we arrived and realized the heat in the house was not working. Also, the house could be very nice with a very thorough cleaning and updating. Also, better access to the house would benefit renters greatly.

Large house, showing some wear, you won’t be able to see the exterior soon, as the growth is taking over, not in a great place, if I hadn’t read the reviews I’m not sure I would have found it. It needs a deep cleaning on walls, ceiling fans, and wall decor, getting and returning the key super easy. The tv remotes didn’t work, along with the dvd player. But, I would still stay there again.

It was a wonderful place to stay nestled in the woods. We had a family from Berlin, Germany staying with my husband.and I! The children ages 9,11, and 14, We had access to the lake and water park across the street so that was a bonus! I do have a complaint about the kitchen, no paper towels, no dishcloths (the dishwasher was broken) and only 2 wine glasses! Also, there was a bit of coffee for us but you should have a Keurig coffee maker as well! We brought Keurig pods with us, and/or a bigger coffee maker. The kids weren’t able to use tv or play a movie, not sure why! It also was very cold and we couldn’t control the air conditioner! Two adults and 3 children stayed upstairs and there were only 3 towels! Other than that a lovely location!

Same story as several other lower ratings. House was tricky to find and not clean or ready for us when we arrived. Host was not apologetic or friendly about sending a team to clean the house. No wifi or television channels, but dvd player worked so plan accordingly. Definitely wouldn’t be my first choice to stay again and certainly not worth the price - but the house was spacious and relatively comfortable so it did trick for our short trip.

Large but upkeep was lacking

Overall the house was large and accommodated a large party. It is in a strange location and general upkeep on the home was very lacking for the price you pay. Was a very nice home at one point, but had numerous problems related to upkeep (leaking faucets, broken dishwasher, overgrown landscaping, broken doors, broken tiling around shower). None of these were very detrimental to our stay but the general feeling was it is managed by employees of the Days Inn and they clean well, but likely don't perform the maintenance that is needed to upkeep a home. Location was strange - likely Days Inn bought the home and put in an industrial laundry facility next to it. Have to drive through the laundry facility to get to the home. Other than some difficulty going around cars that are parked in the pathway to the home, once you pass the facility, the site was quiet and wooded and you are not able to see the facility and no noise at night was noted. It is just a bit strange. Overall it was okay, but likely will not stay here again.

Do NOT Book!

Jodi is a joke. She refused to give ANY refund. I tried to cancel 4 days before reservation date. Terrible reply time. When the reservation day came, she didn't send information until I requested it several hours after the check in time. She kept saying "enjoy your stay" even though I told her we were NOT staying. She kept over 1,700 for a two night stay, including the cleaning fee. Go find a hotel or a cabin instead.

Nice place - but bring the unexpected

The property is nice, clean, and secluded. There were no salt and pepper, no spices, and no knives for dicing. Though it’s a house, you’ll need to bring things you typically wouldn’t. The check in process should be much easier than going to a hotel and picking up the key. Start with getting WiFi to the place and using a ring camera door bell as well as a key lock pad for easy check in. It was a good experience. But a one and done.

Terrible Decision

The rental was a disappointment. First off, the key has to be picked up from a hotel, why not install a lock with a push button code? Because someone has to EXPLAIN how to find the house which is situated at the end of some wonky dirt road near some giant city laundry, and even WITH the explanation, it’s hard to find. Then the AC didn’t work and the place was hot and stuffy. When an email was sent, no response. The next morning a partial refund was requested due to the nonfunctional AC unit. Only then was there a quick response saying no refund. I’m filing a complaint. Plus I personally don’t think Jodi is a real person but that the place is rented by some company. Don’t stay here.

This place shouldn't be listed

I'm regretful to say that this was the worst property I've ever stayed at :( My 48 hours in Mackinaw for a family vacation were often interrupted by me trying to get ahold of the host, or finding some new deficiency with the home.No place is perfect, but the owner was nearly unreachable, multiple questions over the VRBO app, text messages, and 3 phone calls were returned about every 18 hours with no empathy or apologies. Issues:- Checked in 15 minutes late as the property wasn't ready for us- No wifi- No laundry detergent - No dishwasher detergent- 1 bathroom didn't have any toilet paper, and no additional supply on hand- a broken office chair- leaking kitchen sink- a towel rack that'd fall at the slightest touch- wear and tear throughout the house

Beautiful Big House in Mackinaw

We loved the house. It was very clean and roomy. This house was built to be lived in. What a great location for a day visit to Macinaw Island or bridge access and northern Michigan. Some highlights: Red Tail Fox in back yard, Extra cedar sun room ( favorite morning coffee place), very comfortable beds and furnishings, Very Very clean, Fire pit with lots of outdoor seating, full kitchen, terrific master bedroom with spa tub and big walk-in showers. Easy to check-in, out and to find. As they say, bring your own entertainment and hot spot. WiFi in the area was good.

I never would have booked this if the 1 and 2 star reviews had been available. Shame on you VRBO ( ill be using your competitor from now on) ! I’ve never given a bad review and I book quite a bit, but here goes. You get the key at the Days (should have been a clue to the quality) we got terrible directions and went back. The clerk called someone else who was very snippy. We tried again and by driving through woods past dark warehouses in a place that at night did not seem to be a road, we got there. I would say it was Days inn clean, but there was NOTHING. else. TV in every room and NONE OF THEM worked. (Guys would have like to watch bball and it was raining so outdoor activities were out) And NO WI-FI! Kitchen was stocked terribly! Pans I wouldn’t even put in a garage sale. A 5-cup coffee pot ( probably from the Days Inn). Plates and cups ok, but no glasses and cutlery was really janky. Overall — felt like I stayed at a broke down Days Inn at Four Seasons price.
