Our host Karl was very accommodating as we had to make an adjustment to our four night stay. The house is very clean. Beds are super comfortable. Snow on the day of our arrival required a minor emergency trip for the snow removal crew. Thanks for making our stay superb.
Everything about our stay was great! The host is fast and efficient with communication so we were never left in the dark about anything. This house is fully equipped with everything you may need which was super helpful! The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room were very well stocked. The yard is super spacious and has a trail accessible from the back yard. The house is also full of things to do for kids from board games, nerf guns, trampoline, and tree house with a rock wall so the kids were entertained for hours. The house was very clean and so was all the bedding. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone heading to the U.P!!
The house was so well equipped, we even saw a KitchenAid mixer! The host immediately responded when we reported that the driveway was icy, and the folks who came by to take care of it left some salt as well.If we need to have a large house in this area in the future, we would 100% stay here again.
