Beautiful views - surrounded by trees

Nestled just off the road surrounded by trees the living room has massive windows on each side to enjoy the view. Master bedroom suite upstairs with views looking down into the valley. The kitchen was adequately equipped for cooking and a nice grill to use.

The lodge was well-prepared for our stay including propane for the grill. We would book this house again and highly recommend it as a rental facility. No communication with the property manager was necessary.

Wonderful house perfect for weekend getaway with friends

We had a wonderful time staying at this house. It was one of the best VRBO experiences I have had. The check in experience was easy, and the hosts had very straightforward and easy to meet requests for check out. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. The living room was perfect for lounging around to read a book or chat with friends. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook food for two families with four adults and 5 kids. We hope to come back for a longer stay in the future!

Nice Homestead Property

We had a great time, overall. Accessible place. Roomy. Minor glitches: BBQ ran out of fuel and badly needed cleaning. Temperature hard to control with programmable thermostats. Could use some extra blankets in the bedrooms for cold weather.

Short ski trip

Beautiful property and nicely maintained, but problems with heat. The only complaint is that many of the Nest thermostats went down to 55 degrees after two hours making it unbearably cold at times in a very cold January

Great Family Time Together

This house was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 2 children. The home was super clean and updated, the kitchen was complete with all the pots, pans and dishes, and any utensil we could have needed! The appliances were modern and very high end. All of the furnishings were very nice and newer. We would totally recommend this rental home.

Family Getaway

Property was lovely, and the perfect `home away from home'. Our arrival was seamless due to the thorough and prompt communication. House was in excellent condition and VERY clean. We enjoyed making meals together in the full amenities kitchen and relaxing in the evening following all the great outdoor activities in the area. The house has room to spread out and have your own space yet seating for everyone if you want to be together to watch Netflix, a movie, or eat a meal together. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Only challenge was the home has large windows and it was quite cold this past weekend. We set the thermostat to 70 and it would auto adjust to 64 on it's own. We were quite chillly!

Great ski weekend

Great property, fun weekend. The satellite pin was misleading, this is not on the ski hill but across the road. If you’re looking for ski-in, ski-out this is not the best place. It is really close to the village though so it was easy enough. Would stay there again.

Stunning home. Perfect Winter break.

Skippers Woods is beautiful in the middle of winter. The home is stunning with the amazing windows overlooking the snow covered woods. Things were still closed because of our times, but the home was a perfect get-away, very roomy, and a wonderful kitchen! There is a fun ski slope at the Homestead and Whiskers Restaurant and Bar with outside fire pits. Although activity was limited, the great nearby restaurants were open for coffee in the morning and takeout for lunch or dinner. Loved Cherry Public House. Anderson's market is up the road for groceries and spirits. Loved the lower level suite of the home which gave a couple of med students their own space to study and hangout. Great home for families or friends in both the summer and the winter. If restaurants were open, we would have been at Boondocks a few times, enjoying great dinners by their fireplace. Next year. Thank you for a very nice break from our downstate routines.

Beautiful property In a wonderful location in Northern Michigan.

The home was fantastic. It was perfectly located, surrounded by trees and extremely private. It was very well equipped and had everything we needed. All instructors were clear and the home was extremely clean. The owners made sure there were many perks like chargers bu each bed, fans in the bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. It was a great girls weekend and would perfect for a couple families.
