Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway but needs more upkeep Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed the location and feeling of being in the middle of the woods. Would have been better with more comfortable furniture in the living room to read, relax and settle down with a movie. The kitchen and grill for breakfast and dinner were great, as well as the updated washer / dryer! Would have been nice to sit on the deck but the patio & furniture needed a good cleaning. Upon arrival we noticed the cleanliness was mediocre, dirty counters, sinks, plates and utensils. Very convenient location, close enough to go for a nice walk, drive into town, drive to a new beach daily and check out so many areas outside of glen arbor. We took plenty of beach trips but all of the beach chairs were not usable so had to purchase our own. Overall great house and location for a family on the go! ##### Kelsey L.

The house fit the bill! It had everything we needed (except wash clothes - not one in the house lol). It had all all of the pans, kitchen appliances, utensils etc we could have needed. Comfy furniture and beautiful views out tons of windows. Our group thought the beds were comfortable and the water pressure was great. The only issue we had was a terrible squeak from a register vent fan that kept some of us up the first night but we shut it off after a call to the office the next morning and no noise after. It had a great location and not too far from wine tasting, places to eat and site seeing places that were on our list. We appreciated the large table for playing games and plenty of seating for when we wanted to just lounge and visit. We would rent the house again in a heartbeat! ##### Tanya L.

We actually didn't know what we were getting because we got moved to this property instead of our original rental and it was even better than we could have imagined. Comfy beds, lots of space to spread out, a fantastic kitchen, lovely views...I could go on and on. ##### April B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### joseph t.

Reviewer Comments: This home has wonderful views of the forest, as the windows are floor to ceiling. Despite the fact that it is in the trees, the expansive windows keep it light inside. The home layout was perfect for our family of 5... master bedroom upstairs, and two bedrooms as well as a lounge area in the basement. The basement provided our teens their own bedrooms, bath and lounge. The location in the Homestead is pretty, and a 5 minute drive to Glen Arbor or the beach. You can also walk to the beach in 10-15 minutes. ##### Terri P. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connie A.

The sliding door did not lock that was a concern, called and reported it as soon as we discovered it. Unfortunately was not repaired while we were there. The driveway was on a hill, with a curve and short. There is a reason they said no more than 3 cars. I recommend not to follow too closely into the driveway.

Jun 22, 2024 #### Overall, great stay with a few minor suggestions Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a great stay at this home. We thought this house was very spacious with lots of room to gather. We had a great experience overall, and the location is very conveniently close to the town (only about a 5 minute drive into town).We have a few suggestions for a better stay;1. Deeper clean before the guests arrive. The home was not very clean when we arrived; the floors were covered in dirt, lamps were covered in spider webs, and you can just tell that the surfaces were not touched very well. We were hesitant to sit outside on the patio because it was covered in spider webs, bugs, and debris. We understand we were in the woods, but we believe it could have been touched before we arrived. Once we took the time to dust everything off ourselves, we enjoyed the space nightly. The trash bin was full when we arrived, but it was taken care of in a timely manner which we appreciated! 2. If there is no AC in the home, we’d appreciate working fans to cool down the space. Although having no AC was not a problem for us, a few of the fans were not in working condition so it was a little unpleasant in terms of the interior air flow and temperature. 3. The Primary Bedroom tv was not functioning. It was a minor detail but we weren’t able to enjoy the tv at a time where we would have liked to wind down in bed. Other than this feedback, we really enjoyed the home overall. We would recommend this place to family and friends if the above suggestions were looked at. This was a wonderful stay! ##### Melissa G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sugandhi S.

Reviewer Comments: The house was a good size, location, and setup. We enjoyed our stay. A couple things to note:House interior temperature was cold upon arrival check in. The home than took a while to get to a comfortable temperature. Fireplace was very drafty and the flue was not able to shut properly. - the was mice excrement found on downstairs bedding below the covers. We continued to find mouse droppings in basement during our stay in bedrooms and on the bathroom counter. - kitchen was missing hot pads to cook with. Coffee make brew took 30 minutes plus? ##### B S. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff J.

Sep 26, 2022 #### Great Location for Homestead Wedding Guests Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The house was mostly equipped with items needed for a weekend stay, and the location was super handy for attending a wedding at The Homestead. Our only recommendations would be a larger dish washer for the size house, the dehumidifier emptied regularly, and some sort of A/C unit in the basement as we were uncomfortably hot downstairs, otherwise we’d definitely come stay again. ##### Kara C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cozy, Secluded, Year-Round Cabin Rental With A Hot Tub!](https://www.expedia.ca/Munising-Hotels-Cozy.h27265412.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
