The unit is simple, clean, and big. Great for larger groups. My first choice in the UP going from and to camp, coming from 800 miles south.

We thought we were staying in a cabin it didn't say a upstairs apartment above a garage.There was dead bugs in the windows. Screen was missing in the living room window couldn't open windows in 2 of the the 3 rooms because one window wouldn't stay open and the other window there was holes in the screen. The smoke alarms one didn't have a battery the other was hanging off the ceiling. There was mold on the shower curtain in one of the bathrooms.

The amount of space and places to sleep were great with the kids along. The outside light was burnt out so it was pitch dark when we arrived. The one bedroom also had a light bulb out and didn’t work. There was one window air conditioner and it was in a bedroom so the door had to stay open to cool the main area. Parking was great as we could park next to our room. When looking to make sure we had everything while looking under beds the floor was not clean. The batteries in the tv remote were dead and so we used the box itself attached to the tv which was very annoying. All in all it was ok but not great.

Absolutely loved the suite! It was very clean and came with anything you could think of for a long stay trip. We had only stayed for one night, but it was an amazing night! The owner Donna was extremely friendly and helpful, the suite was very clean, and any information you might need you can find inside. I would recommend this place 100 times over if you're looking for a cozy place to set up base for a long trip. We'll definitely be back again if we're in the area!
