We found the interior even more comfortable and appealing than expected and the steady WI-FI made our work-related stay a joy. Our host was thorough, communicative and went out of his way to help us adjust our check-out day. 10/10 would do again!
The property is certainly well appointed with lots of bells and whistles, and a kitchen island with it's own zip code! Beautiful, too. The back yard is fenced in and very large. Our little 9# Cavachon, Lucy, really enjoyed exploring the grounds at full speed, while chasing the birds and the deer, although both came back the next day. The home is located about 8 minutes from Glen Arbor with more than a few restaurants to choose from. Close to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, where we recommend Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, Stops 9 & 10, to get out and walk on the dunes.
Wonderful! The property is just as nice in person as the pictures. If you are traveling with a dog you couldn't get a better yard. And it's all fenced in! We have a 90 lb. pointer/pit/lab mix and it was so nice not having to keep her on a leash or tether. The home was beautiful and very comfortable. Having 2 bathrooms was a plus. The table was great for games/puzzles/family meals. The only downfall is that we usually stay in Empire. My brother lives in Empire so we were farther from Empire beach and the ice cream shops, but the home was so comfortable it made up for it. We have been coming up to the area for 25 years now, and the home did not have a welcome book. Usually, there is a binder that explains everything about the home/when the garbage will be picked up, to recycle or not, information on local attractions and places to eat.But all in all we will be back! Lots of nature such as deer, turkeys, birds and whatever else crossed our paths. Big shout out to Matt and Lindsey for sharing their beautiful home. Great vacation!
We loved the location of the house! The size was perfect for our family of 6. The backyard was great. The house didn’t feel like it had been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. We were constantly sweeping up dog hair, and a lot of it, even though we didn’t bring a dog. My kids often had dog hair on their things. Otherwise our stay was great! We would stay here again.
