Summary: Oden Home is a charming Mid-Century Cottage. It was incredibly clean which we so appreciate with children!!! It is the perfect home for several families/friends. Five bedrooms with seven bathrooms. Each bedroom had its own bathroom that provided each family their own privacy. The living and dining rooms were spacious with a dining table that was large enough for ten individuals. The kitchen had so many amenities. The hosts were fabulous and provided a guide that was detailed with great information about the cottage and surrounding area. We greatly appreciated how responsive they were to our questions. We will definitely reserve Oden House for our next family trip up north.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was very neat and clean. Definitely big enough to meet our needs. Loved the big dining room table. The sectional in the living room very soft and low to the ground. Not the most comfortable. Beds were comfy. The outside of the house could use some cleaning up. Shrubs could be trimmed, etc. Overall, I would recommend it.

Summary: This house was wonderful for our family of 8 adults and a toddler! There were many spaces where we could spread out or all be together. The property managers were very attentive, both before and during our stay. They provided a few items that we asked about before we arrived, and the house was stocked with plenty of essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent. The location was close to lots of nature preserves, wineries, breweries, and if it had been warmer, water sports. Also, it was only 30 minutes to the Mackinac Island ferry. Two of our party were working remotely and the wifi worked well for them. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely stay here again!
