Summary: The communication with the property management was great. They regularly check in before and during your stay. They even confirm when the house is ready for check in This was the cleanest VRBO I have stayed in. It was absolutely spotless. Nice full kitchen, sizable bedrooms, and two wonderful bathrooms. I loved the bunk bed setup with the TV in the room for the kids The backyard is great. A nice bonfire pit and Cornhole. Plenty of room for kids to run around and play. Not far from a walking and bike path that will take you right into town. We will definitely come back!

Summary: The house was great! We are a family of 7, and the house was absolutely perfect. Could have easily had room for a few more people. The yard was an absolute dream for the kids to play in and was absolutely a respite. We had a fire every night and most mornings! The bikes were enjoyed by all! And we really appreciated the local jams upon arrival.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We immediately fell in love with our rental, Cedar House, when we walked in the door. It was everything the pictures promised and more. We had an easy ride to Petoskey and walk to the lakefront. We drove to Harbor Springs for a morning trip one day, and Mackinac Island for a day trip, and the location was perfect for reaching both of these destinations comfortably! We already want to go back.
