This was our second stay at the Stonegable. The place is perfectly located, close to everything in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. The small house is cute and clean; there is a patch of woods directly behind it for easy hiking / dog walks. Everything is provided: the grill, all sorts of beach stuff, towels, soaps, bedding, etc. The setting is idyllic; no loud neighbors, no fast cars. A lovely porch under a large pine tree is perfect for a morning coffee. Maureen is responsive and helpful, and her artwork is lovely.
We had bad luck in that the thinderstorms that came through the area knocked out our electricity on Tuesday evening and with it, water. We left for a day trip on Wednesday, but power was not restored by Thursday (they promised to restore it by Friday, then Saturday!). Maureen brought us a couple of water buckets and a bottle of drinking water, which was much appreciated, and we used the grill to cook. We could have managed without electricity but not without water for toilets and shower and dishwashing, so we were forced to cut our trip short and left Thursday morning. Maybe investing in a back-up generator might be a good idea, if possible?
But rotten luck aside, we really loved our stay, just as we did last time, and were so sad to leave. Such a beautiful area, such a lovely place! Thanks for having us!
