      First Stay
      It's old, hasn't been updated cosmetically - rusty hot water heat vents, old furniture πllows-but it's a dog house. Remarkable view. I'd come back.

      Beds were slept in and house was not cleaned
      We walked in and found that the beds were not made, dirty laundry left lying around, stove was disgusting, moldy bread still in the cupboard & dirty Kleenex laying around.

      Relaxing!
      We enjoyed our stay! The location is definitely 5 stars! What to know: the house could use some updates, but there have been some since the pictures have been posted so I think Jodi is working on them! There was no grime or anything as mentioned in other posts. Everything was clean! We enjoyed our night with a fire by Lake Huron - there’s firewood right down the road and some plastic patio chairs. The grass has been recently mowed. No a/c. We were comfortable with windows open and bedroom fans going. We would definitely stay again!

      Needs VRBO Review
      House was dirty. Grass needed cutting. Gaps in windows allowed bugs in. Seems to me VRBO should do a better job screening this property, as it does not meet standards of other rentals we have booked.

      Perfect Stay
      Don’t know what the other reviews are talking about saying they grass isn’t mowed. The yard looks clean and well trimmed as well as the house. The trees provided perfect privacy from the neighbors when sitting on the beach. The owner provided several amenities and was a great help. overall perfect stay

      Total Rip Off. VRBO must shut down.
      Fraud. Bait and switch. Gives VRBO a bad reputation. Owners totally misrepresent this place. Doesnt meet occupancy codes because the windows in bedrooms dont open, there is no functional door on the half bath, the sliding doors don't lock, etc. In addition, place is not clean, towels were not provided, no A/C & WINDOWS DO NOT OPEN!!! etc., etc. I politely reached out to property manager but received no response. So that tells me they plan to continue their fraud.

      Help me help you - do NOT book this property!
      Mackinaw City itself is beautiful; this house is an embarrassment to the area. There are reasons the host provides no outside photos of the home. The gutters are falling off and overall is completely dilapidated. The door you enter through garage is broken. There are old appliances in the garage that actually prohibit you from being able to park inside even though it is listed as an amenity. Upon entering the home we discovered it was filthy. While the listing claims they utilize cleaning personnel, and in fact charge a cleaning fee, there was dust and cobwebs everywhere, the dishes were disgusting, tracks of windows and doors were so bug-filled they hardly closed, and visible handprints and grim on the walls. Inside what we are assuming is a never-cleaned oven was a used pan. While there are two rooms with toilets, only one has a door that closes because of a disproportionately sized washing machine. In the main bathroom the toilet paper dispenser remains broken as seen in a previously posted review. The ancient shower faucet allows you to either scald or freeze. There were lightbulbs out and multiple holes in the wall in the sunroom. It should not be listed as having more than 2 queen beds because the pull-out couch is missing so many springs it should come with a warning. What little communication we did receive was INCREDIBLY rude & did not resolve any of the issues brought up except the cleaning of the oven, but I imagine the cleaners were uttery exhausted after that job
