Christmas in Brethren

The house is very roomy. We had 7 adults and everyone had their space. Loved the jetted tub. Kitchen was great, we ate in alot, including Christmas dinner. And lucky enough to get snow, so were able to hop right on the snowmobile trails from house. Not all local roads plowed well, but we were able to visit many local towns, Traverse City, Manistee and Cadilac. I forgot to include the dog in the initial reservation. Listings says allows up to 4 dogs, but nothing about fee, which I thought was a little high. But we would rent again for sure.

Awesome getaway up north

My family and I had an amazing time staying here! The kids absolutely loved all the space and the air hockey table. Huge plus being dog friendly so we could bring our fur babies along with us.

Great time

My son and I stayed here when we came up for a weekend of fishing. Although the fishing wasnt very good the house was great. I had trouble checking in because I wasnt able to open the VBRO on my phone for the lock code. I texted Chris and he responded right away. Great communication, we would stay here again and hope to next fall.

Family stay

The house was just as advertised, very clean and spacious. There were 12 of us, and I think everyone had a very good time. We stayed 4 nights, and it was so much fun. Many in our party want to make it an annual thing. Even our dogs had fun. Everything was great but because it was so hot the air conditioner kept kicking off. The 2 bedrooms upstairs got pretty warm, we were fine just a little warm at night. But if that is the worst thing we had to deal with, we are in pretty good shape. 5 stars all the way. Thank you for such a great place to stay.

Perfect stay for extended family

We needed a large house for everyone & this was exactly that. Each family was able to have their own space and there was plenty of room in the living areas and kitchen. The yard was great for a bonfire and yard games (most of which were provided). I would recommend to any large group looking for a place to stay together in this area.

Spacious and Clean

This was just what we needed for a family of four and the girls' friends. Spacious! Loved the beds, the decor in the house, the large bathrooms, and the property. The "barely" college girls had their downstairs when they wanted no adults, too. It was perfect for us as we took day trips to Frankfort and Traverse City, without the Traverse City prices. Thank you so much!!

Close Enough to Manistee

I originally booked a stay at a house in Manistee on b®®king dot com to be near my mom's condo with my family. Three days before we were supposed to arrive, the renter flaked out on us. Of course there was nothing in Manistee 3 days in advance during July. I was thankful to find this home to rent! It is about a 30-minute drive from the 5th avenue beach. It is only about 10 to 15 minutes away from the trailhead of the Manistee River trail that had the suspension bridge. We were able to hike that and also hike to the waterfall which by the way is tiny so only do it if you love hiking. The Tippy Dam Recreation area is a couple miles away. We were still able to enjoy the beach because it was not too far away. The house is enormous and has tons of room for sleeping. A nice big kitchen and a lovely backyard with a fire pit and a deck. Rooms were clean. Towels smelled good. Sheets were fresh. There are plenty of dishes and pots and pans and silverware. There are two nice bathrooms with big Walk-In showers. They have a wall unit air conditioning but it worked well for most of the house. The bedrooms had big fans in them. They had wood there for a fire and camping chairs you could use. The renters were extremely kind and very quick and thorough with communication. I would definitely recommend this rental!

Easy commute to Traverse City

Stayed Thurs thru Sat eve in late June. The house size was great. Kitchen decently appointed but a big downer to have no dishwasher. Communication was great w/host. Check in instructions to add a # at end of code were not included, so caused some inconvenience, but figured it out. Ample parking. Remote location, but fit what we needed. Overall very good experience.

Just as described

The check in code won’t work till 4:05pm, we also had to buy a few things we left behind like a trash can for downstairs but for the most part, it has cute, it had lots of extras like firewood, folding chairs, plenty of pans, etc. We brought disposable plates and cups as we went through them too fast and no dishwasher, but I’d totally stay here again. It’s a great location and well done. My mom loved her bed so much she is going to buy one like it for home!
