Mouse dropping INSIDE bed.

Bathrooms are dated but clean! Our large family loved that 3 separate king bedrooms w separate bathrooms and plenty of room for kid sleeping and games. 3 levels w 3 thermostats. Nice kitchen with appropriate dishwater for servings and cooking! All was great……UNTIL bedtime when we discovered mouse droppings INSIDE one of the beds. We too live in a rural area. Yes, there are mice in and out of garages - which are controlled and definitely NOT in our beds! Until the pest problem under control. We cannot recommend.

Great for 3-family ski trip

This was a perfect place for our 3 families while we skied Boyne Highlands. There was a king bedroom on each level and the 6 kids had a slumber party in the basement between the bunk beds and 2-twin bedroom. We all really enjoyed the den with the wood burning fireplace. It was convenient to skiing and we went snowshoeing right out the back door. We would definitely stay here again!

This place was an absolute gem. My family of 10 stayed here and we all had room to roam.

This place has most of the amenities of home and we will be looking to stay here again on our next trio!

Great view of Lake Michigan

House was very well stocked in dishes and supplies. Plenty of space for our 10 people. We would stay again. The only drawbacks were some drawers/cupboards in kitchen were broken and there were dressers we could not use because we were afraid they might break. Great gathering space for multiple families to spend time together!

Nice home, lots of room.

3 large bedrooms and many more beds for kids. Well-furnished kitchen. (Except has glass cook-top.). Dishwasher, washer/dryer. Whirlpool tub is kind of odd— not really a jetted tub, but the water just goes around in one direction. It’s a beautiful community—all very scenic. We had a great stay. Also communicating with the rental agency was so simple— they text on check-in day so you can easily ask any questions that come up and get a really fast response.

Fantastic

Overall this house was perfect for our needs. We went up North for a ski trip with family and friends, and the house set up was pretty good. We would stay here again in the future. Oh, and if you like nature, we probably saw 100 deer over our 3 day stay outside the complex just roaming around.

Great location, good for groups

We stayed here for a ski weekend. Great location, close to Nub’s and Boyne Highlands. Pretty drive to downtown Harbor Springs, even on snow-covered roads. The house was more than equipped for a large group - lots of beds, two nice living rooms, and beautiful grounds to look at. Nice community and clubhouse, too.

Great place for a weekend ski get-a-way

Meadows Bliss was a perfect place for our guys weekend at the slopes. A few of us are past the "ski all weekend" age and would rather relax, so having all the lounging areas worked out great. The house was clean and well equipped for a weekend of downtime. Thanks for opening your home for us.

I hate giving reviews especially when you find a gem like this. Really nice house, great views.

We thoroughly enjoyed the house from the fireplace to the horses out in the stables,. The kids had a ball and the adults liked the space for everyone. A little further from the hills, but worth it.
