Summary: Great house that is extremely well kept, in the woods with great solitude, with a wonderful deck out back. We have rented MANY places in this portion of Michigan, and most were just fine. This was a step above - and I'd say for one reason. It lacked for "nothing". We found everything we needed! 90+% of the time when you go to a rental place, no sharp knives. No extra trash bags. No coffee filters. Etc.... This place? We started playing a little game about what we might NOT find. No winners! Great place that truly had everything we needed!

Summary: We had an amazing stay! We came north for our boys football game and stayed the weekend and it accommodated our large group (16 teens and adults) very well! Plenty of rooms and beds. Very clean. Communication with owner/manager was very prompt and they were extremely friendly and helpful! Nice quiet neighborhood close to sleeping bear dunes! Would definitely recommend!!

Summary: We planned a trip to Empire. We wanted to stay close to Leland to visit sites around that area. Perfect place for these goals and for vacationing in this area. We had eight adults in our group. The criteria was a place with four or more bedrooms, large dinning table, comfortable seating in living room for all of us and large kitchen. The first thing to note was the pristine yard and garden. It is on a more remote road but very close to Empire MI. Our GPS kept taking us to Gilbert Road so if you use WAZE, it may take you there but the house is on Timber Road. Parking for all vehicles was spacious with a turnaround. The hosts allowed us to use the garage so we could bring the car in to unload it. The garage was meticulous also, just like every room in the home. There is a room with a bath on the basement level if there is a need for acessible access to the home. The main living area requires the use of stairs as well as the upper level where the bedrooms are. There are 3 bedrooms on the top level with a master bedroom with king bed and large ensuite. The other two bedrooms share a full size bathroom with shower. There is another large room with two queen beds, sharing the joint bathroom The living area has many places to sit and relax with TV. Outside are tables and a firepit with outdoor seats. This is the ultimate place to stay. I am giving this home the highest praises! Clean, quiet, beautiful with gracious hosts. The BEST. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. VERY CLEAN

Summary: There is nothing negative to say about this property. We have a large family and it was perfect for us! The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped for a large family cooking experience. The host was very responsive to questions. The property was beautiful, with a large yard for the kids to run around in and a nice fire pit for gathering around after a busy day of activities nearby. Very private and ample parking for several vehicles. I highly recommend this property for your group!

Summary: Our group consisted of six adults and five small kids. The house easily accommodated us and is very well equipped throughout. Everyone loved it. The wooded surroundings are quite nice, the large grassy backyard offered plenty of room for games, and a couple of great Lake Michigan beached are only a short drive away. If you are bringing toddlers, be sure to bring a baby gate for the back hall stairway. We all highly recommended this VRBO property!

Summary: My daughters and their spouses and children plus Gramma all enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious so smaller groups could be in separate locations or we could all be together for dinner and games. The backyard is beautiful with a great fire pit and is surrounded with tall trees and bushes. The location was within easy driving to all our activities. Would certainly recommend to my friends.

Summary: What a delightful home in a dramatically beautiful area! We have been familiar with the area for many years, and the property is close enough to easily get to all our favorite locations, like the dune climb, Pierce-Stocking Scenic Drive, Glen Haven, the Crystal River, etc. Our 3 children and their spouses, along with our 12 grandchildren (2 of whom are still crib sleepers), joined us for a week at Timber Lodge. The home is spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean! We appreciated the separate gathering areas so kids could play while adults chatted. The smaller living room with a door contained the noise of early-waking little ones as they played. The picnic tables on the deck provided space for family meals. The kids loved playing kickball in the large back yard, and the bunk room was a great place for a lot of them to sleep. The hosts had thought of most anything we could possibly need during our stay. The supply of bathroom towels was impressive! The kitchen is completely supplied with quality pans, any needed cooking utensils and appliances, including slow cookers, rice cooker, air fryer, etc. There are indoor and outdoor games available, and the Legos were a hit for some of our grandkids. The host was quickly responsive to any communication, and we are totally grateful for finding this house. We would definitely recommend this property to others who are planning a family gathering.
