• Great Stay Close to Ski Resorts

  5/5

  This is the 3rd house we've stayed in this neighborhood since it is close to both Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands. House was clean, had plenty of beds, and 4 bathrooms, which was great. Overall no issues and would book here again.

• Beautiful home, but a few issues

  4/5

  The house is as advertised. Plenty of room for a large group/family. Kitchen is well equipped. Furnishings are new and very comfortable. Pat, the local rep, is awesome! When we arrived just after 4pm, the keypad was not working. Apparently it was not able to be programmed with the code they management company had told us, but Pat gave us a code to use and got us in quickly. This was important as it was single digit temps the day we arrived. Unfortunately, the path and staircase to the front of the house had not been shoveled and had a good 4-6" of snow on them. Once we tromped through that to get into the house, we were able to locate a shovel and cleared the path. Pat was very apologetic about this, but it is out of her control as the owners insist on using the snow service provided by the neighborhood and they hadn't cleared it. Seems if you know there are guests arriving, you would want the snow cleared for them. Especially when it is ankle deep and the only path into the home that is also a flight of stairs...As many have said, there are no window treatments in any of the rooms. While the location is mostly private, light coming in definitely disturbs sleep. The lower level of the home where the bunk room is was SO COLD. There was a space heater provided, but some window treatments to help hold the heat in would be nice.The wi-fi was glitchy when trying to stream movies on the tv. We connected the tv to one of our phone hotspots and it worked perfectly.

• Beautiful home & location!

  5/5

  Loved this stay! Beautiful home! Immediate surroundings are beautifully wooded offering a very nice private feel considering the home is within a golf community. Super clean! Completely stocked kitchen and bath w/some of my favorite home products which was a great surprise! Beds were comfortable, plenty of space for our crew of 5 including 2 teens, 1 pre-teen and 2 adults. Stayed for a short ski trip, 15 min from Nubs. Imagine it is gorgeous in the summer as well! Would definitely stay again! Highly recommend this home!!

• Nearly PERFECT Home for a Ski Trip!

  4/5

  Spent a long weekend at this lovely home for a group ski trip. The layout of the house was PERFECT for our group of 3 couples and 3 single guys (we got approval for the extra person in the bunk room). While several people complained about the lack of window treatments, I (the organizer) was fine with it as the home is pretty secluded (though a neighbor or two may have gotten a surprise at some point!). We saw lots of deer - they seem to hang out up the hill behind the house. Home was well-equipped with everything we needed and parking in the garage was a huge bonus with the snow. Only issue we had was the furnace not working when we arrived - it was set at 65° but it was a very chilly 48°!!! Local contact sent a repairman and problem was resolved while we were night skiing. WiFi worked like a dream - a necessity in today's world.

  Would stay again in a heartbeat, although the 10:00 am checkout on a Sunday morning was a bit of a challenge!!!

• Great spot
