The apartment was spacious and very clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, and there were thoughtful touches like a couple of huge golf umbrellas (which we needed) and a first-aid kit (which we thankfully didn't). Having a two-car garage was a nice bonus. The area is quiet, with Lake Bde Maka Ska only a few blocks away. Wonderful bakery/cafe (Black Walnut) an easy walk, and lots of other restaurants a longer walk or a very short drive away. Would stay there again.

The apartment was ideal and exactly as described. It was very clean, and very comfortable with a lovely, well-equipped kitchen. We didn’t make use of the outside area, or the bicylces, but they seemed in great condition, and with the nearby bike paths around the lake that would be a nice option next time.

Out stay worked out very nicely. Super nice clean and every room, everything we needed in the kitchen thank you so much for the coffee. It was comfortable in the living room and we loved stepping out the door and just in a couple of blocks you could see the lake and we had wonderful morning walks. We were very very busy while we were there with some family events and we have to tell you that one of our favorite and appreciated things was that you provided us with a garage for our vehicle we felt so good about being able to keep the cars in the garage because we were hauling all kinds of gifts and valuable things back-and-forth in the vehicle so thank you so much for that. We would love to come back sometime and stay with you again, Marvin was extremely helpful when we had some time on the phone walking me through the thermostat.settings. It worked perfectly really nice having windows to open in the evenings too. The surroundings were calm, quiet and lots of birds singing outside those windows. It was lovely.
