Great weekend stay

We really had a nice weekend. It is super pet friendly and our dogs enjoyed their weekend as well. There are walking trails for the dogs and there is a dog park about 15 min away. They have couch covers for the dogs which was great and looked better than the mismatch of sheets I always bring to cover. We took in a show in manistee and spent an afternoon in traverse city. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. There are plenty of towels too. The sauna was great and such a nice feature to have. My only complaint is the main bed is super hard. My shoulder and hip joints were super sore from it. They have pull out beds in the living room with a memory foam pad so I slept a little better on that, but pull out beds aren’t the most comfortable either. If we stay again, I would bring a camping mat to put on the main bed. Quiet and peaceful there. Also, everything well labeled with good instructions. Everything was very clean! Thanks for a great weekend.

Cozy winter getaway

This place was very comfortable and cozy. We stayed here during a blizzard and it felt like we were in our own world. Copemish is small and charming, very quiet, with proximity to some nice restaurants and Crystal Mountain. I would describe this vrbo as picture perfect.

Great location and very cozy!

Wonderful and convenient location allowing us easy access to Crystal Mountain for our overnight ski vacation. The living room was very spacious and the home was warm and clean. The board games and pantry essentials were much appreciated and extra blankets and pillows made it so each member of our family slept comfortably. We definitely hope to stay again. Thank you!

Perfect for family

Visiting family for the holiday, but with 2 dogs and a toddler, our own space is a must. This place has all the amenities we needed and more! Kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans, cutting boards, knives, etc. everything needed to prepare your own meals. There's also a washer and dryer which is nice to have in case of any wardrobe emergencies (toddler). The sectional couch has an attached pullout ottoman that converts it into a huge couch/bed hybrid, and there is a big flat screen TV - awesome for family movie time. Our dogs loved running through the field that's right across the street and belongs to the property owners as well. It snowed quite a bit during our stay and there was someone to shovel and salt the deck, front stoop, and walkways. We could tell the family who owns this place puts a lot of care into maintaining the property and making guests feel comfortable and welcome. We can't wait to come back the next time we visit the area!

Second Year

This was the second time we have stayed at George's Hilltop Retreat (the first time was one year before). It is difficult finding places to stay that allow dogs, especially dogs that weigh more than 20 lbs. That is one of the things I like about George's. Not only are dogs welcome, but there are supplies in the house to make the stay with dogs easier for the guests (couch covers, food dishes, etc.). Also, there's a nice amount of outdoor space, as well as a firepit. We went up the trail to the top of the hill to view the Northern Lights. Beautiful area to do so. Both years, we have had a comfortable, enjoyable stay.
