Loved this home and property
Absolutely lovely home with beautiful view of pond/woods. Clark, the owner, was very helpful and replied to inquiries in a timely manner. Centrally located for those coming from different parts of Michigan. Wonderful time spent catching up, relaxing and playing games in front of the fireplace.

Sister getaway
My 3 sisters and I stayed at Clark’s beautifully designed mid-century modern style home. Unbelievable amount of space and so well maintained. Felt so accommodating with large bedrooms and closet space. With 4 women the 2 full bathrooms were very much appreciated. And not only was the interior of the property beautiful but the grounds were also. We sat at the large dining table in the mornings and watched the deer come into the yard near the quiet pond and woods. Clark was so friendly and amiable to work with. We were all so happy with our stay in Midland. Not far from several really great restaurants and the Dow Gardens and Chippewa Nature Preserve. Both beautiful walks. Highly recommend this or other Clark Most vacation locations.

Stunning!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! There are not enough words to describe the architecture of the house. It is so beautifully decorated, the art throughout the house is incredible. The ambiance of this house made us feel so secluded, even though we were minutes from town. The host was easy to communicate with
