We spent a week here and not only loved the house, we loved the area. First the house. Sarah is a dream host. Always responding right away, answering every question. Even the welcome binder she provides is great. Be sure to read it. Filled with ideas on how to enhance your experience. The house is a great resting spot between all the adventures. Plenty of space for eating, cooking, socializing, outdoor living. Very well appointed. Loved the combination coffee maker, the pots, pans, dishes, cutting boards, wine glasses, etc. Very comfortable beds, plush towels, soap, hair dryers, a couple couches for napping, and a dedicated work space for our remote worker. The location is off the river so best for kayaks and canoes. We rented a boat and jet skis from the Inbetween when we wanted access to the river and the lakes. You can walk to town and the beach. Drosts for ice cream, Inbetween for fish, Station for BBQ, Vivios for Italian and Pizza, Christopher’s for breakfast. Indian River golf course is public and gorgeous.It’s also an ideal vacation spot for the wider area. We walked the bridge (Labor Day is only) and went to Mackinac Island. Mackinaw City is 30 minutes away. We went to the dark sky park, amazing. Watched the Elk Herds, went to Petosky, Cross Village, Charlevoix. Walked to Topinabee on the trail near the house and ate at the Bridges. We highly recommend this house. It’s clean, comfortable and welcoming. A home away from home. ##### Elaine B.
