This place was extremely clean, great view, had everything we needed. I love traveling south to the ocean but sometimes you can only travel close by. The personal touches, tasty arrival, and a fun surprise made this beautiful home stand out. It wasn’t just a typical rental for Memorial Day weekend it was a luxurious get away. Sherry and Mark are the best. Quiet time, beautiful fireworks over the lake, and Frankenmuth close by finished out the weekend. Most importantly being Pet Friendly! Bama B LOVED it here.

Great property! The walkway from the driveway to the cottage had a retaining wall that was really leaning towards to steps. Other than that, we had a great time considering the weather!
