Unique home perfect for our family of 7

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a very interesting home and a perfect fit for our family. Upon arriving we found the door lock was broken. Although we reported it right away it was not fixed nor did management respond. The owner has put a great deal of thought into making this a wonderful getaway. Generally we find kitchens are not fully equipped but this one was very complete with everything you might want. My only thought is a family with small children might find it difficult to keep little fingers off of all the beautiful and interesting accessories. Would definitely stay again

Second visit to this property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a family reunion of 5 adults and 4 children. House has excellent set up for this situation. House has 2 kitchens, both well equipped but constantly shuttling plates etc from front to back eating area. Second floor bedroom would benefit from black out curtains for visitors during high summer months.

Great location, but unfortunate fly problem

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the experience was ok. We requested to know a few items the house had prior to arrival and we were either told the wrong information or they had no idea. Upon arrival, the house was filled with huge horse flies. We requested the management company to come twice as the first time nothing was done. The house was lovely, but it really dampened our stay as we had small children there and there were dead flies all over the place. A door slide was not working. An AC unit did not work. There was no guard railing on the front porch and a child sat in the chair and it fell backwards. For the extremely large size of the home, there was only one single garbage bin so garbage bags sat outside for several days. The house also upon arrival was not extremely clean, especially the floors. Just several issues that one would not expect for the price we paid. On the upside the home was very large and we appreciated how we could close doors if young children wanted to sleep in the other area of the home and it was quiet. The location was perfect, very close to the water and downtown Harbor Springs.
