comfy stay for young family
The house was just as listed and described. You can tell the paint was new in and out, the deck furniture was in great shape, the windows looked new and even the gas grill was in great shape! The water is clean and deep enough but not too quickly. The kids swam and the lake was calm enough for our kids to kayak and peddle boat on their own which they don't do much. The only real thing to be aware of is the walk down and up from the car. I would not stay here if you have someone with mobility issues. Steep driveway and long, and even though the driveway goes down to cottage, I would strongly advise against (there is a sign that warns drivers). The park nearby is amazing and we went there with the kids daily! Overall great place to get away and15- 20 minutes from downtown Traverse City.

Not clean
The place was dirty. Bugs and dirt all over the bathroom and on the extra rolls of toilet paper. Mouse droppings and a dead mouse in the main bedroom. Couldn't get a hold of the owner and the front office did their best to help but could only do so much. When moving the chest in the living room to open the pull out bed there was a dirty plate (not ours) and food stuck to the carpet. And the middle bedroom was very musty smelling. The fridge also kept going out. Contacted the office about the mouse/mice problem and they left it at needing to get a hold of the owner (never did) then I contacted vrbo customer service and they left it the same way and I haven't heard anything back.
