Loved the game room. Played lots of pool with a cozy fire in the woodstove. The space was perfect for 3 adult couples, we each had our own floor. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. Pet friendly too!
Great communication with host. House was very clean with all amenities. Only not giving 5 stars because the basement was very cold compared to rest of house, there were space heaters but just could not keep up with the freezing outside temperatures. would definitely stay there again.
Overall is a great house for a visit to the area. Lots of family space to relax both Main floor and lower level. Large 86” tvs. Very cool eating bar in family room enabling watching tv and eating. Hot tub was nice and hot. Wood stove on lower level was very nice. Pool table was a big hit with the entire family. Outdoor space is probably wonderful in summer. Very dog friendly.
At first glance the property looked small but when we went inside, it was so much more than it appeared. The location was perfect for a day trip to the island & another day in Petosky. When we weren’t checking out the parks, the property was perfect for spending time by the fire, relaxing in the hot tub & entertaining. This is a great location, can’t wait to go back!
Wonderful house off the beaten path in a quiet wooded area but still close to everything Lake Michigan and the surrounding area has to offer. The house had all amenities for our family and we all had a wonderful time. Host was super responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend a stay here!
Clean, comfortable, well-appointed place 15 min from Highlands/Nub's
Had a fantastic time staying here for a ski weekend with family, and would happily stay again in the future. Place was clean and comfortable for 2 families w/children, plus a pet. The host was responsive via messages regarding any questions, and we didn't run into any problems.
Really enjoyed our stay at Good Times in The Pines. House was very nice and fit our party perfectly. 15 minutes to the mountains and 3 to town. Enjoyed eating at Bobs Place. Hot tub was great too after skiing. Highly recommended. Thanks!
The property was perfect for our family with different ages and needs. The houze itself has everythinf you need for entertaient and comfort. It is also near enough to Mackinaw that we did a day trip to the island and to Petoskey beach and local hikes. Would recommend this place to anyone : )
We came for a team pool tourney & hadn't met 2 of our players. We had a blast & they appreciated a nice table! Too many stairs for me as I am handicapped but the main bedroom was very convenient! Would love to stay here next year!

Our family stayed at this lovely home last weekend as a meet-up spot for siblings, and we had such a nice time! The house had enough beds for everyone, there was plenty of space to congregate together, the kitchen was fully stocked with nice dishes and utensils, and the outdoor area was perfect for yard games and campfires. It was exactly what we needed, and the cleanliness was superb! Will definitely be back!
Great property. Super nice fire pit, hot tub and basement. Appreciated the Crate and Barrel dishes. Just wish some of the pans, cookie sheets and the oven were nicer/ cleaner. That likely happens with renters, so, sort of understandable, but, refreshing that would’ve been better. Dishwasher did’t work so we hand washed. No doubt property manager will fix that as she was very responsive when we notified her.
Wonderful property - perfect for our family and dogs. Had a pontoon with us to go on the chain of lakes and the place was perfect for the boat/trailer. Spent most of the time on the lake but the house was nice to come back to.
