Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Eric C. 20 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy House served as a great jumping off point for our Seeping Bear Dunes adventures. It’s off the beaten path but close enough (\\- 20 min) to get anywhere like Glenn Arbor, Empire, Leland, etc. The lake was warm and beautiful and the lakeside fire pit was a great feature for us in the evenings. We would have given 5 stars but feel that the cost per night was too high for the accommodations. We would still recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay with six adults. Andrew and Ashley were easy to communicate with and stayed in touch throughout the stay which was appreciated. ##### Eric C.
