This property was listed as having air conditioning. It does not. Do not rent in the summer ,it was 87 in the house. Nothing was cleaned from previous renters. Beddingand towels were all dirty. Trash on counters and in house. I spent 3 hours cleaning before we could unload the car. Left over food in the refrigerator and old coffee in the pot. The location was good for our needs. The manager took days to respond. We did receive a 3 day refund after contacting VRBO.

When we first walked in, we were really impressed by how clean it was. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with what you need to cook. We did our breakfasts and dinners there for the most part and had no problem with anything. The appliances worked great. The beds are comfortable. It's notable that Germfask has the (infamous) Benny just down the road, antique stores, Seney Wildlife refuge. Pictured rocks is under an hour away. The Bear Ranch is under an hour, as areTahquamenon Falls. It's really a great central location for the hot spots up there. The host is incredibly considerate and accommodating. The Jolly Inn, a local favorite restaurant, is right across the street and is well worth the walk over. We saw a few deer in the backyard before we came home. Overall, the stay was quite pleasant.

The second pullout couch had food crumbs and wrappers all over the pullout bed. No air conditioning it was so hot in that house. No outdoor furniture or seating like it says it has. The grill is a tiny tiny tabletop grill. No water access on the property. It was definitely misrepresented.

Good Location and OK Value
Trailer was relatively clean. Ants in bathroom, but we set out Terro and took care of the ants. Beds were firm but noisy. Air conditioning was a portable unit sitting on a chair in the living room and couldn't keep the trailer cool during unseasonably warm weather. Overall OK value for the price.

False advertising
The house was very clean and but not comfortable because it was advertised air conditioning and in 90 degree weather it was very hot for two 86 year olds and one who had to be on oxygen and in a wheelchair. No screens in living room and on doors. Found a portable atr conditioner but wouldn't fit in any windows except kitchen. Rob had to put it in and get lawn maintenance man to help him lift it up on a chair. The house was very nice. Everything you could possibly want. We looked for bath towels and found them wet in the washer.we had to put them in dryer and fold them. We rented the house because it had a ramp. It was very hard to get up and down it. It needed fixed at the bottom. Also when we arrived there was garbage left on porch that animals got into. The trashcan was also full. full.get up and down it him lift it on a chair so it would fit.

Central Location
This property was a good location for us. We visited a friend near Manistique and met an old college friend at Tahquamenon Falls. Less than a hour drive to the falls, Munising and Pictured Rocks and 1½ hours to Sault St. Marie. So much beauty to see!

Ok due to location but...
The location was excellent but a few things were lacking.
The AC was completely inadequate to deal with hot days. It's just a portable unit that is probably capable of dealing with room less than half the size of the property. Thus we had to run it far more than we - and the owner - would have liked, during the hottest days of summer. The portable AC vented through a window, which made the home insecure.
We would have gladly opened the windows because the outside temp was cooler, but the blinds were broken and some of the screens were missing, so we couldn't rely on outside overnight air to cool the property.
At least one of the beds lacked a mattress cover under the bottom sheet.
The "security stick" for the sliding rear door was broken, so it would have been easy for someone to enter the property through that door.
It took two days for the owner to respond to a message via VRBO when we inquired if we could get a late checkout.
The side door lock was broken.
There was hair in 1 of the shower drains that the water wouldn't go down. We had to clean it out
Hopefully the owner will switch the internet from satellite to newly-available internet service. We were unable to use the internet when it rained, and it was always very slow and connections were very "iffy."
The instructions for connecting to the internet were posted on the refrigerator in a type font that was tiny and blurred, so it was difficult to read. We had to guess at what the password was.

Very happy with property. Had a wonderful time, would have liked to stay longer. Clean and well maintained . Would have liked more outdoor chairs (white stackable ones would work).

Great place to gather!
This was the perfect location for our family reunion - it was near where all the activities were taking place. We thought we could bring a dog and found out after we booked it that we couldn't. We made it work anyway, but it was an extra expense to board our dog at home. The host was great at communicating and very prompt! We'd definitely stay here again!

Great Location
The location of this property was perfect. All the locations that we wanted to travel to were about the same distance. Even though the location seems isolated, it is not. Down the road you’ll find a small supermarket, a restaurant across the street and a kayaking/canoeing/campground facility to travel down the Manistique River.
It was super easy to check into the home. The home was exactly as the listing displayed. We had plenty of space for our kids to play and they loved unwinding/watching tv when we came back after a long day of activities. It was a plus having a washer/dryer. There was no AC but the temperature was tolerable with the windows open and running the ceiling fans/other fans provided.

Clean home, was our base for day trips in the UP.
Clean property and thankful for the ramp into the home. I think the home needs some maintenance as we had some difficulty with the lock and most of the screens are in need of repair or replacement. With no Central Air, it would have been nice to have enjoyed open doors and windows, but during the time of our stay the mosquitos were a real problem! The owner was responsive and again, it was a good location to enjoy the UP.
