Pros: the location, the wonderful hot tub, the beautiful big yard with fire pit.
Cons: the bed downstairs dipped in the middle several inches and was topped with a foam topper that helped nothing. So old and soft. Pls get a good bed for your guests. We had horrible nights sleep each night. And that makes for very crappy getaway.
The house had nothing. We have stayed in many rentals in Michigan that are well appointed, like the place just next door to the north of this house, which was booked :(. This house is clean, but not cozy. In living rm exposed base board heating looked terrible--made the place look really dumpy. Just remove it or cover it.
Also, house not well appointed. This house had nothing. No olive oil, no spices, no shampoo, no conditioner, no soap to shower. A majority of places provide that and have something in the kitchen. We have stayed in two other places during the pandemic that had plenty of stuff in the cabinets, even coffee! Most places have dispensers affixed to the shower wall with the shower basics. The ad didn't mention the need to bring your own shampoo or soap to shower.
The t.v. was old and had poor visual.
It seems that rental homes managed by the owners are well appointed, well kept and decorated vs the ones where the owners are hands off, dont ever come to stay, and have a co. doing it.
We could overlook all of the cons, but not the bed. We won't be renting this place again for that reason. When we go away for a break we need to sleep comfortably. That's #1 part of a nice getaway.
