The house was overall very nice, inside was clean, rugs were a bit sandy but the floors themselves were good. The AC went out late the first night we were there. Got up to 78 in the house, emailed the property mailed, and they had it fixed and running witnin 2 hours of my call, and also brought fans over just incase. They were very polite and checked multiple times theoughout the 2 hours. Ping pong table was the best part.. within driving range of Traverse city. Big bear, and mutilple excellent restaurant's.

We really used the extra fridge in the garage - very useful! Kitchen is a bit small with limited counter space. Dining room is spacious and convenient right next to the kitchen. Room to park in the driveway. This is a nice quiet residential neighborhood. ##### Nancy P.
