Perfect

We spent 3 nights here and it was perfect. The property had everything we needed and some things we didn't even think about, it had. It's all very new and clean, well thought out. Separate bathrooms for each bedroom was awesome. We used the grill and had a campfire (wood was included). Dishwasher and laundry saved the day. Met Martha and she was so warm & friendly. Planning on making this our regular meeting place with friends. Also liked the bar and Co-op around the corner.

Nice layout and patio area

We really liked the layout of this property which was half of a duplex. There was a concrete patio with grill and fire pit. Originally I thought it was a shared patio area for both sides of the duplex but each side had their own. There was a wall unit for air conditioning and heat but also vents in the wall. We couldn't find the thermostat for the vents in the wall so cold air was coming out when it was already cold. I asked the owner about it and never received a reply. There was also no checkout requirements posted or given to us. I asked the owner about that also and never received a reply. I just messaged the owner about what we did for checkout before we left. We were in the area for Pictured Rocks and the waterfalls. Munising was about 20 minutes away but the drive was scenic and we quickly got used to the distance.
