Andy was an amazing host! Check in was the easiest. He even text the morning of check in and said the property was available sooner! He called when we arrived to make sure everything went well. (There is a security doorbell and my kids kept pushing it, so he was getting alerted and thought something was wrong lol) The lake house was immaculate. So clean. Smelled great. And exceeded our expectations. We have stayed at a LOT of Vrbo rentals, and this one has been the best. There were name brand hand and dish soaps, plastic baggies, toiletries, chargers in every room, games, tons of pillows and blankets….everything! We literally only needed to bring our clothes. They left us stuff to make s’mores. (We tried but the mosquitos were terrible! Not your fault, Andy!) Another plus to the trip was the neighbors. Joe was SO friendly! It’s always good to have trustworthy neighbors and rent in a community that feels like home. On the ending leg of this review, the 2 stories and access to the garage were great. I loved the 2 separate living spaces. We took a friend with us and he had his own private living room, bedroom and bathroom. All downstairs. Upstairs is where my family of 5 stayed. It was just perfect for the 6 of us. The place could easily sleep 11-12 people if kids don’t mind couch crashing. If you’re planning a SxS riding or Houghton Lake trip, book this house! You will not be disappointed!!
