Very seamless check in. We visited for a concert and this was perfect! Would have been nice if we had more time to enjoy the beautiful outdoor space. It was well stocked with anything you may need for your stay. If ever in town again we would stay again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic location with a short drive to Pine Knob. The space is comfortable for two couples. The air flow stopped during the night which made sleeping on a warm summer night a bit uncomfortable. If there was a fan in the bedrooms it would help with air movement. The kitchen needs measuring cups and spoons as well as at least one spatula or turner.

Close to Pine Knob
We rented this as we were attending a concert at Pine Knob. It close to the venue and cheaper than surrounding hotels. The place was nicely appointed, had a full kitchen and comfy beds. Great for two couples! The backyard setting was peaceful and relaxing.

Red Carpet experience in Clarkston
There are so many great things that I can say about this property! Here are a few highlights:
1. The property managers are truly AMAZING! Even before my stay they reached out to me and were so kind and helpful. Excellent communication via text for any questions I had about the property.
2. Extra towels, hot water, and excellent water pressure in the bathroom. Honestly, who can ask for anything better than that?!
3. Privacy! I seriously felt like I was the only one on the property during my stay.
4. Comfy beds! Both queen beds were comfortable and the linens were fresh and smelled great.
My family and I plan on being returned guests. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Other than finding socks, water bottles and random
Stuff under one the the beds and the corners of the bathroom full of dust the property was nice. Could definitely use some upgrades to linen as they smelled musty.
This is beautiful and spacious and was perfect for our girls' trip to the Renaissance Faire. It was a very easy drive to and from the faire. The bedrooms are large with super comfy beds. The bathroom has an abundance of towels and washcloths. My only minor complaint, is that I believe they must have a water softener, so the water felt slimy to me, and I never felt like my skin was actually clean.
