It is close to restaurants, a grocery store, and other establishments like Shorts and Ethanology. The place has been updated and looks great. The kitchen and fridge were a little small (was in the description of the property) but it worked for us. The closet was very large for clothes storage and worked well for us. I wish it would have had some tvs in the bedrooms as well (maybe they could be added). Overall, it was a nice stay and I would recommend. ##### Kevin M.

Two grandparents two parents and four kids age 13 to one. The kitchen grade room combo was perfect for all of us, the bedroom situation made it easy to have that many people. And the location in Rapids was central to everything we wanted to do in northern Michigan. What highly recommend and would go back. ##### Nancy M. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James P., Columbia, USA Jul 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Four beds in three bedrooms with issues Middling property. Nice to have four beds and three bedrooms. They are all "full" size. Had a few issues though. I sent the owner some questions three months prior to our visit in order to make some outside arrangements. I only got a response a few days before along with the arrival instructions. We never had WiFi during our stay, even though it was advertised as an amenity. The owner made one attempt at a fix by having the internet company reset access, but after that didn't work, nothing else was tried. We thought there were way too many air fresheners in the unit. There were probably three air fresheners per room. Also, no blow dryer was provided, even though it is a necessary amenity for those with long hair. This VRBO worked for us because we really only slept here, we spent our time and had our meals elsewhere. Wish we could have had better curtains to keep out the light. I would only recommend this property to travelers who won't spend much time here. ##### James P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelley B.

You can walk to anywhere in town you want to go. Everything was as picture shows. Clean linen on all the beds. Great idea to put closet in center of all bedrooms. If I was to nitpick it would be that all the lights and ceiling fan in kitchen and living room are connected so they are all on at same time. Also need to put instruction on using 2 remotes to TV. Black remote turns tv on and adjust sound, silver remote for everything else. But Ronnie was very helpful and always friendly. I would stay there again for sure. Wife already thinking about next summer. Way better than staying at hotel. ##### Bob S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanne P.

There were quite a few lights that we couldn’t find switches for and a bathroom light was out. It was very chilly and could not adjust the thermostat. Fortunately there were plenty of blankets but we were in sweats and warm socks most of the time hanging out in the house. Recommend bumping it up about 5 degrees. Overall and absolutely wonderful place to stay and the location was fantastic. It’s beautifully decorated and stocked.

We ate locally and cooked, both worked out great. Loved having a local beach so close and also travelled around the area and nothing was more than an hour away which was definitely nice.

Jul 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convienently located House was clean and right next to restaurants and a gas station. Short distance to downtown, walkable for adults. Not a ton of privacy, but great location if you'll be spending a lot of time downtown or at the beach. There are some fragile decor items, so heads up to relocate those if you have small kids. Also, the plug where the sprinkler system is easily comes out of the wall. Unplug your items carefully! Our only complaint was that some of us were cold in the house and the air could not be adjusted. For most, it would probably be fine. If you're easily chilled, pack some warm house clothes. Overall, a great place if you want to spend your time enjoying lake life and avoiding daily driving without breaking the bank. ##### Nadja T.
