Understood it was a previous tenant and the replacement was on the way. Nothing the homeowner could do about it. Very friendly and great communication. Would rent again if in the area. ##### Theo Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Treetops Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Grayling-Hotels-Treetops-Resort.h914489.Hotel-Information) > - [Gull Lake View Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalamazoo-Hotels-Gull-Lake-View-Golf-Resort.h19561568.Hotel-Information) > - [Crooked Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Hotels-Crooked-Lake-Resort.h31422390.Hotel-Information) > - [SpringHill Suites by Marriott East Lansing University Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Lansing-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-East-Lansing-University-Area.h615.Hotel-Information) > - [Pictured Rocks Bed And Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Marquette-Hotels-Pictured-Rocks-Bed-And-Breakfast.h10044940.Hotel-Information) > - [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > - [Super 8 by Wyndham Marysville/Port Huron Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-MarysvillePort-Huron-Area.h856217.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lakeview Hotel, Shanty Creek Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-The-Lakeview-Hotel.h1104351.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Bay City - Riverfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Bay-City-Riverfront.h1077165.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Brighton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Howell-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Brighton.h32102546.Hotel-Information) > - [The Highlands at Harbor Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Petoskey-Hotels-Boyne-Highlands-Resort.h13205714.Hotel-Information) > - [Drury Inn & Suites Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Frankenmuth.h58071.Hotel-Information) > - [Frankenmuth Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Frankenmuth-Motel.h1148366.Hotel-Information) > - [Double JJ Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Era-Hotels-Double-JJ-Resort.h3062219.Hotel-Information) > - [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Frankenmuth.h882233.Hotel-Information) > - [Clear Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Grayling-Hotels-Clear-Lake-Resort.h10356891.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Winds Casino Resort – New Buffalo](https://www.expedia.ca/Benton-Harbor-Hotels-Four-Winds-Casino-Resort-New-Buffalo.h13278629.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay Mills Resort And Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Brimley-Hotels-Bay-Mills-Resort-And-Casino.h11980098.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Inn & Suites Clarkston Pine Knob Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Comfort-Inn-Suites.h68623534.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Midland by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Midland.h2462677.Hotel-Information) > - [Wingate by Wyndham Brighton](https://www.expedia.ca/Howell-Hotels-Wingate-By-Wyndham-Brighton.h126779.Hotel-Information) > - [Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Frankenmuth-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-And-Suites-By-Marriott-Frankenmuth.h281052.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton Inn Midland](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Midland.h116959.Hotel-Information) > - [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Port Huron](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Port-Huron.h42075.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Universe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Monroe-Hotels-Splash-Universe-Resort.h21760670.Hotel-Information) > - [Marv Herzog Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Marv-Herzog-Hotel.h13006478.Hotel-Information) > - [Torch Lake Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-Torch-Lake-Bed-Breakfast.h11601400.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Frankenmuth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Frankenmuth.h6621673.Hotel-Information) > - [Black River Retreat (Dog Friendly!)](https://www.expedia.ca/Ironwood-Hotels-Black-River-Retreat.h33500821.Hotel-Information)
