This house was above and beyond what we had expected. So clean, so well-organized, so nicely decorated (except for the mannequin - not a fan) and SO WELL STOCKED! Ohmygoodness! There was nothing a traveler might need that was not provided. And the breakfast options were plentiful - fresh eggs, fresh fruit, juice, cereals - it is self-serve, but all the kitchenware is also provided. I highly recommend Tony's High Banks! He lives upstairs, he was available if needed, but didn't barge in. It was a perfect stay!

We had a great stay. We were excited to stay as this home was owned by our family in the late 1950’s. The yard is huge for our dogs. Tony had everything you could need. I have rented many homes over the years and this was the best stocked. He even had dog dishes.

Tony creates a most welcoming space with a feeling of belonging and comfort, not to mention extremely clean. We loved all of the little touches that he provided. Such as board games and lots of knick knacks and the stories that go with them. We also appreciated all the care Tony took to explain where the various interesting elements of the decor came from. The fact that he also provided a well-stocked fridge and pantry is just icing on the cake! Best part of our stay was watching the gorgeous sunrise over Lake Michigan while enjoying our morning coffee! This is, by far, the best rental we have ever been in. Thank you Tony!!!

It was my first vacation rental experience. It may be the best I'll ever have! Every detail was thought of, from the kitchen and the food and drinks that came stocked to the towels yo the chargers next to the bed - all of which were very comfy. The decor was spectacular UP Cottage but also felt modern and functional. The front porch view off the master was very nice. I did not use the backyard but it had everything , fire pit, fish cleaning station, etc. I rode an old Schwinn cruiser which was one of 4 bikes that came with the property. The tires were new and it moved like a dream. Parking was ample. I did not get a chance to meet Tony and his pair of sweet dogs in person, but communication was awesome! I was sad to leave. Thank you Tony, I hope we can come back one day!!

We stayed for one night in July as we did a family roadtrip (including a dog) around Lake Michigan. This property was PERFECT! Spotless! Front porch with a view of Lake Michigan. Safe, quiet and welcoming just outside town location. The home decor was unique in the most special way! Details in every space. Absolutely everything you might need. The fridge/freezer and pantry were well stoked with items (waffles, eggs, juices- and so much more). The fenced backyard was PERFECT for our dog after a long day in the car. To play off leash securely was so needed. The owner left a book of house details and town notes which was super interesting and helpful. The only hiccup was with securing the keys at checkout and the owner responded immediately to our questions. Highly recommend!!!

Great property, very thoughtfully furnished. Kitchen wonderfully stocked with a lot of breakfast items including farm fresh eggs and sausages, which we enjoyed. Lots of helpful information about the house and nearby attractions. Only downside is the lack of a second shower stall, which could be inconvenient for a large family.

We had anything and everything we could possibly need including handy bicycles to get around and a well stocked Kitchen for breakfast!
