Four of us stayed at The County house for a weekend of golf. We couldn't have been happier. The place was incredible. The views from the front porch were so peaceful with the firepit and water feature for added ambiance. The beds were comfortable and we had a nice welcome basket on our arrival. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us. I wish i would have taken pictures to share.

Great place, so much space! Nice big kitchen, and open space to spread out or all sit together. We went up on a snowboard trip and wanted to be centered between Cadillac and Petosky area to hit a few different places. We had 2 teens and 2 younger kids and we never felt on top of each other. Charming master suite and fun game room/book nook. Nice en-suite bathrooms and stocked with plenty of towels. Nice soaking tubs for sore legs after snowboarding. Nice big open lot, and fenced in backyard for our dogs! Such a bonus to be able to just pull into the garage and feel “at home”. Thanks again!
Gorgeous sunrise view out the front window
