Dec 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect place to unwind We chose to celebrate Thanksgiving at the mountain property, which proved to be exceptional. The property was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and exceptionally well-equipped. While lacking a formal dining room, the thoughtfully designed and well-appointed spaces rendered one unnecessary. ##### Elisa T.

This was my first time at this house. Kids excited their space. Plenty of room for us. Absolutely LOVE going to PowderHorn! Didn't leave the mountain on Sunday! So much to do there and didn't have time for it all! Thank you!!! ##### Janice C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa K. Aug 28, 2024 #### Amazing! My family and I spend an amazing weekend at the Sleeping Bear’s Lair. The house felt so much like home. The beds were so comfortable and the furnishings were perfect for us all. We had a great time playing family games on the game table. The home had everything we could have possibly needed. Even for our four legged family member. I was very impressed by how clean the place was. It was big enough that we all had our separate space, but we ended up hanging out together most of the time. I really enjoyed my coffee in the rocking chairs on the back deck and the trails that I could hike without even getting in the car. We included a fun trip to the club house where we enjoyed the paddle boats and pool. Thanks for an amazing weekend. I can’t wait to book again. ##### Melissa K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg H.
