Nice Stay
The inside was clean and nice and well equipped. We were using the garage to come in and out and two days into our stay the changed to garage code, which was weird and annoying especially since the front door had lots of spider webs by it(it’s in the woods so I understand, but even more reason why we should be able to have garage use.). The reason they gave us was because prior visitors were tracking in dirt. We never wear shoes inside, so it felt unfair for us to have this taken away without any notice. We actually thought the garage was broken and had to reach out to them. They did not have any type of accommodations for the beach, so if you plan on going bring your own beach towels, chairs and toys.

The house was well maintained and big enough for our group of 8 (6 adults, 2 kids). Shuye was easy to reach with any questions.

Overall, a pleasant stay but could benefit from a few improvements.
This is a pleasing place to spend a few days or a week. Rooms are large and spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms are OK. The walk-in showers were appreciated but, the master bathroom had low water pressure. The kitchen was not as well-stocked as other reviews would have you believe. The knife block had no sharp knives. Even the bread knife had difficulty slicing a baguette. Only one wine glass. All the other glasses were more for soda than an 'adult' beverage. The kitchen would also benefit from more utensils. One of the most noticeable things about the house was the amount of plastic. I understand that this is a rental property but, I would have expected the builders to have built it to a spec that is befitting the location. The entire 'brick' fireplace is plastic panels. I've never anything like it before. The dining table and chairs are plastic, not wood. Kitchen cabinets are low quality. Minor issues maybe but, it cheapens such a nice house, particularly one that commands a high rent in peak season. I think that not providing a garage door opener is a 'miss'. I suspect that they may have provided one previously but too many went missing. The driveway is steep and winding but, it was well plowed. At least the listing clearly warns people of it so, one really should not complain about it as others have done. We have stayed in 40+ rental houses, in many different countries. Overall, I would give this a 3.8. I doubt that we'd return.

Could have been fine but….
When we arrived there was no Kleenex or bars of soap. There were no instructions about how to use anything. No remote for garage door, no remote for the gas fireplace that is the main feature of the living room. Literally half of the lights did not work. There was no light in the bedroom closet. I contacted the property manager 4 times via email and once by phone. Non responsive except to say she was having trouble with her email. There were weeds in the planters and the grass hadn’t been mowed in a long time. On the plus side, the house was clean and there were paper towels, laundry detergent and dish washer pods. The beds (two of them we slept in) were very comfortable though the pillows weren’t great.

Cozy home nestled in the woods
Beautiful home, perfect for gathering with family and friends for a ski vacation. Three spacious bedrooms all on separate floors; each with its own full sized bathroom. The main floor has a large table and barstool area which provided plenty of space for dining. The driveway could have been a bit tricky, but the property manager made sure it was properly maintained for our safety. Appreciated the ski rack in the garage, helped to keep everything organized. Great experience overall!

Disappointing
This place has potential but it has been managed badly. We discovered ants in the upstairs bedroom and bathroom. We also had to deal with flies on a daily basis. This was advertised as an upscale place but for what we paid, it fell short. The owner, however, was very upset about our issues and was extremely attentive in trying to remedy the problems.

Nice Home!
Overall, the house was very nice and clean. Beautiful windows and privacy which was a plus! Just a couple issues with our stay. The home stayed almost unbearably cold. I’m sure its just a matter of resetting the thermostat but it made our stay uncomfortable. Secondly, all the sofa beds are NOT actual beds. More like couch cushions that roll out on the floor. This was unfortunate because we were expecting everyone to have an actual bed. Lastly, and perhaps most important, the driveway is extremely steep. When we stayed it was snowing pretty badly. Even with a SUV we almost slid off the driveway a couple times. (We’re seasoned MI drivers) The owner reached out after our stay to see how everything went. I certainly appreciated that and her being open to feedback! I would definitely stay here again!

Winter Wonderland
Great family vacation! We arrived into a winter wonderland arriving while 7 inches of fresh snow was falling. Driveway was cleaned off early in the morning Which was super helpful because it’s very steep. The house looks to be redone recently, a great view from the open windows throughout the family room and kitchen. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook for a big family dinner. Beds were comfortable and ski slopes are close. Would definitely recommend this property.

First, the property has been updated even more than the photos showed. Was a pleasant surprise. The location was great. We were a quick drive to so many locations. We had a small hiccup with the heat, but communication with the property manager and owner were great. Even followed up on our stay. Great option!!!

Our Stay at Thu, Aug 12 - Mon, Aug 16 Property ID 9593437 NEW! Contemporary Golfer's Hideaway, Walk
We absolutely loved the area in which the property was located. Access to the Birchwood Farms Country Club was the critical factor in our loving the time we spent there. However would not stay at this property again because there was a terrible smell that emanated from the garage (our main way of entry) and permeated into the house just enough make us all just a little bit sick and uncomfortable. We managed but that was not fun. If that smell could be eradicated we would most certainly consider staying there again. One other note, is that we felt that the cost per day was about 30-40% too high due having to deal with that god awful smell
