Really nice, except….

Would be a 5 star review if this house had internet and AC. Very nice and clean. Great location near the lake. But for $200/night, there needs to be AC and WIFI. The smart tv is great, but with no internet you’re stuck using the over the air antenna that only gets 4 channels. With a little investment, this place would be top notch!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
On the plus side, great location in town yet right across the street from the Lake Huron beach. Unfortunately, much more on the minus side. We arrived to find a clogged toilet unresponsive to repeated plunging. The property management sent a rep on a four-hour drive to take care of it. That lasted four days until it happened again and he made the trip a second time. The third time I reported it to the caretaker but told her to have the owner fix the condition permanently, which he refused to do on our stay. So we used the toilet sparingly, and the public toilet at the beach as needed until our departure. The staff and management were terrific, but the owner needs to pay closer attention to his property. Other problems: wifi was claimed on the property's ad sheet, but none was available. More seriously, the door to the basement/side exit was locked. This is a grave violation of all building and fire codes, which require unobstructed egress from at least two locations. Our experience was terrible, and I would not recommend this property for more than a 1-2 night stay.
