Anniversary get away

It was exactly as described. It was perfect for my husband and myself. It was very beautiful inside and updated as stated. The shower was amazing and the bed was comfortable. I also really enjoyed the heated floors getting out of the shower. The view out the back was incredible and had a nice seating area outside. Very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for a great stay. This was the first trip we have taken since having our two girls and getting married.

Beautiful condo

The condo is beautiful. Only negative is the door was not locked and there was no key. Keypad did not work. So only could lock door from inside. We had left and upon returning noticed a new doormat at the door. Made me feel uncomfortable like someone had been inside shile c we were iut. Never felt completely secure and felt watched.

Great Little Condo

Nicely remodeled condo with many upgrades. This is the nicest condo that we've stayed at in this area. The induction cooktop was a new experience for us. Outfitted with everything we needed and much more. We're in the area every year, will definitely keep this on the revisit list.

Well appointed and updated... one drawback.

Quick trip up to Schuss for a fun night at Shorts and Saturday skiing. The rental is definitely updated and looks great inside. It is small-ish, really only for couples. For us it was spot on, just what we needed for space (we are typically minimalist and travel light). Main room/kitchen was renovated well. Bathroom with the two overhead rain shower heads were enjoyable and we could shower together. Bed.... ugh. I have a back issue (couple broken vertebrae). The mattress was... underwhelming at best. My side had a huge divot and my back ached in the morning. It really should be replaced. I wouldn’t rent again if the same mattress was there, if the owner got a proper one, we would certainly rent again. 4 out of 5, only strike was the bed. Otherwise, it’s really nice and quaint.

Best Short Term Rental ever, WOW

We stayed here for one full wonderFALL week. Everything was clean, modern, and well-thought-out in this little gem of Michigan. We thought we were living in a modern house, but after spending a week here, my wife is requesting all new updates on our house appliances and furnishings: the double high-tech showers, smart ultra-modern cooktops and heated bathroom floor, just to name a few. We just hated to leave, bc this condo was just too appealing to us. Thanks, Connie for your lovely condo and your instant responses to our questions. Sincerly hope we can come back some day
