Great Location with Lots of Potential
The location was perfect for golfing at Arcadia Bluffs, visiting Manistee and shopping in Frankfort. There were several produce stands along M-22 which were handy. The location is very private and quiet. We saw many deer right outside the front door. Pretty!
The house is large and comfortable for the most part. The bedrooms (3) had clean linens and the bathrooms & floors were quite clean. Overall the place needed a good dusting but felt clean.
There were some issues:
1. The biggest problem was the shower was broken in the main bathroom - leaving five people to shower in the bathroom that was off the main bedroom. Not optimal. We were not told of this and it was not a happy surprise to see a sign on the shower door saying it was broken and a bag taped over the shower head. I specifically filtered my search for 2+ bathrooms.
2. While the kitchen was well appointed with appliances, there were some gaps (dull knives, lack of paper towel, lack of dish clothes and dish towels, horribly uncomfortable kitchen chairs).
3. Lack of information on how to turn on lights in the basement and how to operate the large screen TV and video player in the basement.
4. Lack of washer and dryer.
5. Lack of towels - one bath towel per each person is not enough for a 5 day stay - especially when you're all in one bathroom! Where do you hang them all?
The place has so much potential - could be great. Personally, I'd start with the shower then clearing a bit to get a better view of the lake.
