Otherwise, the view of the river is awesome, the Vacasa representatives were able to help us through a few issues, and the interior of the house was nice.

The house provided everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. The property does border a campground and is near the road, which neither were super noisy but it wasn't as quiet and secluded as we hoped.

There are lots of attractions nearby (within 20 min drive). All the appliances were new-ish, and fully functional. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, enough for 8-10 people. There were plenty of knives, although they were not sharp enough, and I couldn't find a sharpener. The river runs right next to the house, with stairs down to it. Altogether a beautiful location, and a carefree stay. ##### Christopher R. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan S., Manchester, MI USA 28 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home Great location! 4 of us friends stayed here 4 nights for a ski trip in January. The home was so nicely decorated and had plenty of room! The large kitchen had all the pans and utensils we needed. The living room was cozy, large and had enough seating for a big group. The fireplace was beautiful, although the wood was snow covered and wet, they had 3 hour logs all ready to burn. The Betsie River is right out the door and so pretty. Crystal Mt is a mile away, so we downhill skied, cross country skied, and enjoyed the pool and hottub over there. We snowshoed in the park/campground next door. We can’t wait to stay here when it’s warmer and can kayak the river and bike/hike the nearby trails. ##### Susan S. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan 28 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It’s clear someone took a lot of time to restore this older home. The inside was very clean and comfortable. We wish there was a book with some details on the house as some things weren’t as straightforward (e.g. no check out instructions). We enjoyed the location of this house from town and proximity to other cities (\~35 minutes from Traverse City). The outside of the property needed a little TLC and didn’t seem like it received much attention for our visit - paint was chipping on the back deck, the trash can seemed like it had been sitting near the roadway for a while, there was a deceased animal in the middle of the driveway that we had to dispose of that had been sitting there a while, the grill wasn’t clean and had been sitting without a cover, and the grass was really long/hadn’t been cut in a while. Overall, it was a comfortable stay for our party of 4 and we would return if ever in the area again. ##### Megan Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Scott H. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice property, clean, and easy process, but some issues As the title states, the house was very clean and there was plenty of room for our two families to enjoy a trip up north. The seating was ample and the outside was great as well. However, there were some issues with it that make me not want to recommend it to other guests, at least with circumstances aligned with ours. The downstairs bathroom's lock was completely broken on arrival, and given it's a double sliding door, the privacy was poor. This same bathroom's soap dispenser was also empty when we arrived. The property does have central heating and cooling, but the upstairs bedroom is not included in this. If you're staying in the summer, prepare for the first floor to be cold and the upstairs bedroom to be 10 degrees warmer or more. It was very uncomfortable and hard to sleep. There is a tiny fan up there that wouldn't turn on (just the light worked), and the windows being open didn't help much when it was muggy outside at night. Also, the pillows included on the king bed upstairs were the thinnest pillows I've ever seen, and provided no support. We had to go to the store to buy new pillows to use on our trip. The upstairs is also a loft with very weird ceilings following the contours of the roof, which I understand is probably unavoidable, but as a 6'4" person, I hit my head on the slanted walls a lot at night trying to find my way to the bathroom. This loft area also has no door, so there is zero privacy upstairs. ##### Scott H.
