The home was lovely and the location was great for the beach, restaurants and family fun! The backyard was large and private for bonfires and games. I especially liked that the home had some staples and a large dining room to accommodate our large family. Great communication from our host and prompt responses with questions prior to and during our stay.

Wonderful home for families

The home was as advertised. It was huge and beautiful! Everything was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need. The basement was super fun for kids and adults, which was nice since we had some rainy days. The yard was also huge. We saw deer and a family of turkeys right out front. Communication with the owner was great!

Absolutely Wonderful!

This home was perfect. We had two families comfortably together for three days with 6 children ranging in age from 7-14 and there wasn’t a moment they weren’t entertained. Which meant the parents could actually spend quality time together! There is so much to do and so much space to spread out. Communication was excellent throughout the entire experience. Thank you!

Wonderful, clean, lots of space, attention to detail

We had the most wonderful time, the house was as described and spotless clean ( one of the reasons we loved it) I have some OCD. There were condiments ( salt pepper and more) in the kitchen ( things we always forget) Thank you! Overall it exceeded our expectations. The one thing that if it matters to any future group booking would be the distance to downtown Harbor Springs (11minutes) and really no real “close by” store, but not a deal breaker for us, we just had very little time ( 2nights) and every minute counted. Great stay, great home! The game room/workout area is great for late night teens hanging out! Thank you!!! We had a fantastic time.

Exceptional Host and Home

Crystal has been an exceptional host. The home was Super clean. The blankets and the Comforters were very clean. All the silverware, plates, bowls, and cutlery are top brands. You have all the appliances in the kitchen. If you have kid's, they will love the backyard and the little play area. You have everything needed and organized before you arrive. All of the above makes this home a luxury stay and outstanding. We are glad that we picked this. If we are around Petoskey, this is the place we will book if available. After the experience of staying here, I felt like meeting the host, which was the impact the stay had on us. I hope we will be able to meet Crystal during our next rental. She deserves an in-person thank you for all the excellent work at this vacation home.

Wonderful place for families

The property was beautiful and the house had everything we needed to enjoy all the area had to offer. Easy access to HS and the tunnel of trees and a short easy drive to places further north like Sturgeon’s Bay. Plus a nature preserve a short walk away for wild blueberry picking! The house was very clean with great light and plenty of space for large groups. Each bedroom was well appointed with either a private or jack and hill bathroom giving everyone their own space. The vast property gave kids and grown-ups alike a place to wander. All in all, a great stay!

Family Vacation

The home was clean The kitchen is very well stocked and plenty of extras. My complaint/concern is that when one is paying the substantial price to rent this property, the renter should have access to adjust the Nest heating and cooling system . I asked for the code to unlock it and was not given. You must email the property manager to adjust. The master bedroom has no closet space. All of them are locked. They provide a very small armoire to hang maybe 5 shirts. Not enough for two people for a week. The bedroom off of the master also has no closet for the renter. They are locked as well. These things are crazy to me for the price to rent the property.

Quiet house

This house sits on a large lot that is nice and very quiet. We stayed here for our family vacation, 6 adults and 3 children. House had plenty of room for all of us. The two living rooms, kitchen table, and extra large dining room table was great. It was nice to be able have a large enough table inside and outside (on deck) for all of us to be able have family meals. The kitchen was good size too. The kids enjoyed the swing set/slide. Beds and bathrooms were comfortable and good size. Definitely had a nice vacation here!

Weekend ski trip

We rented this property for a winter ski trip weekend. We had 8 adults, 3 teenagers and had ample room for sleeping. Everyone felt they had plenty of personal space, and the gathering areas were fabulous including a large kitchen with dining table and separate formal dining table. Nice large family room, and extended sitting room. While one bathroom was in the process of a remodel, the host did absolutely everything to accommodate our needs, and that bathroom will be a luxurious retreat once completed. The property was immaculate on arrival, even in winter the landscape is gorgeous, serene and private. The host responded promptly and was incredibly accommodating to all of our needs and questions. The ski resort was an easy 15 minute or so drive. This property met our needs and we will definitely book again, thank you Crystal!!!!!

Worked for what we needed

We had a group of 10 ranging from a 5 year old to seniors). The house had ample rooms, bathrooms and space/amenities needed to enjoy a meal (although pots/pans could use replacing as they are no longer non-stick and a mess to clean). We had a couple small issues but Crystal was very quick to respond and get it resolved. The yard worked great for playing and having a bonfire. Please note if you are traveling with someone who is older or has issues with mobility… the steps to get on the back deck and front steps are high. We do wish there were curtains and furniture in the living room for a larger crowd to sit and watch tv - for as many bedrooms as there were we would have liked some additional seating. Note that the sofa bed is in the main living room but did not have curtains which would have been nice. I did not notice this when making the initial booking. We enjoyed the scenery and watching animals come up to the property. The house is in close proximity to Charlevoix, Petoskey and Mackinac which we visited and was very convenient. One thing that was missing that would have been a nice touch are some local guides/maps or a list of favorite nearby attractions or restaurants or pizza places. I find that this is typical for a VRBO in a popular destination such as this - but I did reach out to Crystal asking for a couple recommendations and she did provide suggestions. Overall it was ok. We had a couple cleanliness issues but the house provided a good amount of space for our group which was top priority.
