We had a nice time there. The house is very nice. We hung out after an exhausting day in the living room and relaxed. Very comfy sofas. Everyone slelp well in the bedrooms. Mark, the host, responded to my questions quickly. I would recommend staying. The neighborhood was also cute and a great area to go for a walk.

Awesome

This place was great. It's a very cute house, in a very cute neighborhood. You can't really tell from the listing, but the backyard is also really nice -- we spent a lot of time hanging out back there. Mark was also very attentive and helpful (thank you!). We're hoping we'll be able to make it back here most every summer.

80th birthday with family

Mark was very gracious and because there was a snow storm coming. Allowed us to come in earlier than the set times so we wouldn’t have to travel through the storm. We all arrive and got settled in the space was very comfortable. Lots of sleeping beds for 7 guests. Updated home in a nice residential neighborhood. My family Walked to Stearns park from the home and enjoyed the beautiful beautiful sunset. Mark sent a text the next morning to see how things were for first night and they were just great beds slept wonderful, and everything was pleasant, nice for us to celebrate my 80th birthday. The next afternoon, my whole family went to the Ludington State Park and walk the lost lake trail, which is my favorite culminating the day in a wonderful way we took our grandchildren to the children’s park down by the condos. Thank you Mark for hosting my family for my 80th birthday.
