House is very cute, but beds are very uncomfortable and one seems very unstable so suggest bringing along some extra bedding if you have room. Overall we had a great stay. ##### Jessica B.

Everything about our trip exceeded expectations! The house is in a great location - we biked to the beach every day & walked to shops & restaurants (and ice cream!) every evening. A couple 1/2 day trips to Glen Arbor / Sleeping Bear, and the alpine slide at Crystal Mountain. The house is as described and Madeline was great on communication. Highly recommend! ##### Craig C.

Located downtown, everything was within walking distance. The laundry room is brand new and huge. We so appreciated that because we had stayed somewhere else prior and had to do 2 loads right away. There is no yard for kids to play in, but we did so much hiking and other activities that it was not an issue. Nice quiet neighborhood too. ##### Michael R.
