It was difficult to find the house and get inside due to all the exterior and interior and exterior lights being off. House was very cold when we arrived. Chad responded fairly quickly when he was notified of the thermostat issue. Very hot upstairs and rather chilly downstair made for uncomfortable sleep and chilly bathrooms for getting ready in the morning. House is spacious and has lots of space, so guests aren't on top of one another.

Felt like going to Grandmas

Great direction and property description. Easy check in and felt right at home. I’m pretty sure my grandmother had some of the same wallpaper. Lots of space, comfortable seating and nice areas to watch tv, sit in the closed in front porch and read or play games. Easy walk to town for shopping or to visit a pub.

Very spacious for an older property

with 3 common areas to lounge in and a large kitchen this property is very enjoyable for small groups of friends or family. We were there in colder weather so did not have an opportunity to enjoy the outdoor amenities.

Mellow Yellow

Cute home. Convenient location. Spacious. Stocked with linens and toiletries. Beds comfortable. Lawn needed mowed. Need better cookware. Would be more presteable if the very old carpet was removed and the curtains were hung properly

Golf weekend

My brother and I brought our kids to Gaylord for a junior golf tournament at tree tops. The 4 of stayed at mellow yellow and really enjoyed it. It is on the right side of town for going to tree tops, but very close to downtown so we could walk to dinners. Perfect location and comfortable home at a great price.

Great Location

Old school house. Exactly what the pictures and description showed. Great location for walking downtown Gaylord to many great restaurants and events. Also in great place for golf - Treetops and Boyne. Petoskey is a simple 40 minute drive. Would stay there again!

A little disappointed

Overall, the house was as described. It is spacious which was great for my 20 month old grandson who likes to move around. We most likely would not stay at this location again, however, due to several disappointing things. The day we arrived, it had snowed. We had to shovel the driveway to park and the walkway up to the house in order to unpack our car. No big deal, but it would have been appreciated if it had already been done after our long car ride. Some things about the house that we were disappointed with....First, it was not clean. I know many reviews said it was but this time that was NOT the case. There was noticeable dust on the furniture especially the shelving upstairs in the lounging area. The kitchen lighting has numerous "things" inside them. When we took dishes out of the cabinet and drawers, they were DIRTY! Several pieces had dried food stuck to them. Also, we wanted to give my grandson a bath in the tub. We decided we should probably clean it first due to the other situations mentioned. When doing so, it was as if the film in the tub needed a scrub brush to get out the scum layer. Needless to say we did not put him in it. The hot water tank only holds enough hot water for 4 people to shower in a row...just be forewarned if you have more people. The upstairs gets very hot even with the thermostat on 64 degrees while downstairs is chilly...be sure to pack slippers. Finally, there were very few staples in the kitchen; i.e. sugar for coffee

Great vintage vibe, felt clean, and had comfy beds. Not a fan of the carpet in the upstairs bathroom, but it fits the theme. Perfect location- would stay again!

MELLOW HELLOW WAS LIKE GOING BACK HOME❤️

Six brothers and sisters, and some spouses, gathering again to the area that continues to call us from time to time. Our local family members joined us for some meals and as we sat around the big oval table that was stretched out to it’s max it truly felt like “home”. The space throughout was perfect, warm and welcoming. Thank You Nikki and Chad for creating and sharing such a wonderful walk back in time, God willing we hope to return again in the spring🙏

Mellow yellow is a great place to stay! It was so cute and convenient

Mellow yellow was decorated in a 1967 style but with all the modern conveniences, just 1967 look to them. We went skiing and we were three minutes from the ski lodge. The rooms were huge the furniture was comfortable. The towels were high quality, everything we needed was there. I would definitely stay there again.
