This was a great option for our large family and dogs. The coffee bar was fabulous! The house is on a somewhat busy road, but it felt private especially with the nice enclosed back yard and fire pit.

Absolutely loved this place. It was wonderful inside and out. We traveled with our two dogs and 3 kids. They had everything we needed ( kids plates and cups which was awesome bonus) they had games and toys for the kiddos. They have dog crates and a dog bed oh and a basket full of dog toys that our dogs enjoyed trying every one out. I would highly recommend this place it was close and convenient and honestly felt like home.

La casa es realmente muy bonita y acogedora. Me encantó el nivel de detalle en la decoracion de cada una de las habitaciones. Cada habitacion, baño y espacio como la cocina o el area para jugar está super linda y pensada para hacer que los huespedes disfruten. La cocina nos pareció muy bonita y equipada. Tiene todo lo que una persona tiene en su propia casa y eso es maravilloso cuando se está en una casa ajena. El espacio para las mascotas es adorable y Queen y Titan lo disfrutaron mucho. El jardin está muy bien cuidado y limpio. Algo que me pareció fantastico fue que en los cajones y alacenas de la cocina hay etiquetas con la descripcion de que hay en cada una, todo es muy fácil de encontrar. La casa estaba muy limpia cuando llegamos. Mil gracias Laura y Jason por permitirnos pasar unos dias increibles en su casa. Esperamos poder volver muy pronto.

This was a great find! The home has a good balance of personal and shared space. We also appreciated the fenced backyard that provided a feeling of seclusion even with neighbors on both sides. We used the fire pit a couple of times and while we didn't use the hot-tub, this was another nice ammenity to have available. The home is well maintained and was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you could imagine needing during your stay. There was also a nice coffee/tea bar with a number of whole bean coffee options and tea bags. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable with good quality bedding and wonderful (!!) pillows. The location was perfect for our trip! We made a number of day trips (Charlevoix, Traverse City, Mackinac Island) that all were within an hour. Laura was very proactive with her communications and provided some great information on local activities, restaurants, etc. Overall, a great stay - highly recommend!

Laura was an amazing host!! In her home she has thought of everything from fresh Starbucks coffee beans and all the coffee fixings to start your day and a relaxing hot tub to end your day! Special dishes, books and toys for children and if you are bringing your dog expect the royal treatment with the amenities provided!! The decor was beautifully done, this home is a vacationer’s paradise, close to so many northern Michigan gems!
