Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend in the Woods This place was such a perfect stay for what we were looking for; secluded, tucked in the woods, spacious, and close to local attractions. Highly recommend visiting the local shops, hiking, dunes and sight seeing everything Pure Michigan! It had everything needed to cook meals, basic stay needs (towels soap, paper towels, even some toiletries etc). Pillows/beds are older, just a heads up. It’s fully furnished and decorated very nicely. ##### Kaitlyn D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Nathan H. Aug 19, 2024 #### Ridge Wood I scoured the listings to find one that would hopefully be accessible for an elderly parent. After arriving, it was obvious that this house was built to be handicap accessible with a ramp, walk in shower (see prior review about shower leaking water!), and roll-up sink. The wooded location was private and close to attractions- especially Empire Beach for sunset viewing. However, some major superficial changes need to be made for my level of enjoyment. Cleaning was very superficial, so walking barefoot is not an option. Ants on the kitchen counter and in the dishwasher were regular enough to shut down the idea of having meals in the cabin. Wi-fi is unreliable, and you will have to decide which directions to follow when checking out: the VACASA text or the note on the fridge. All of these things can easily be addressed, and once they are, you will adore this property! (Keeping in mind that UpNorth in Michigan is not always as cool as it used to be, and no AC might be tough.) ##### Nathan H.

The things we didn’t like were the lack of A/C this week, the traffic was loud, and the basement smelled very musty even with windows opened. We also has a smoke detector beep for days before it was eventually dealt with. They came once to fix it, but when it started chirping again, it took a day to get someone out to the house. It was very annoying. ##### Julie F. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark c.

Jul 26, 2023 #### Disappointing property for the price The location is wonderful and unbeatable which is what brought us back to this rental a second year in a row. And the home is beautiful and comfortable. But unless there are some upgrades done I can’t see us renting this place again. The wifi is unusable which means no watching tv on a rainy evening. The mattresses are very old and uncomfortable and the pillows are old and unclean. The front screen door doesn’t fully close without a struggle and it was like that a year ago. The walk in shower is unusable because the water drains directly onto the bathroom floor creating a flood. There are no sheets to use on the futon. Although the oven works well, the burners on the stove don’t heat up very well. The outdoor furniture could use an upgrade too because it’s such a beautiful deck but the chairs just aren’t comfortable for lounging and enjoying the view. I tried to speak to someone in the local Vacasa office to address my concerns but I found it impossible to reach anyone after waiting on hold and being bounced around for almost 30 minutes. ##### Steve Z.

Jun 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Home is beautiful with wooden interior and interior decoration. Every piece and every little corner and walls of the house was thoughtfully decorated by interior designer. A couple of things that would helped would be in kids bedroom or second bedroom on main floor could use a sturdy twin bed not a roll out bed or just a sturdy double bed or queen bed. Second thing lower level was beautifully decorated and with a convenient little family room and a bedroom with full bathroom but can use a demudifier for it to be, not so damp. For a person like me with mold and environmental allergies it was difficult to spend any quality time at lower level. ##### Aliya A. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi H. Sep 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### More than the BEAR necessities! This was an absolutely beautiful home! Very spacious! Loved that there were basically 2 master bedrooms, the one was truly a master bedroom and the other was big with a big bed and full bathroom right next door. It was well laid out and had a really nice deck that wrapped around 2 sides of the home. We saw deer every morning! It was well equipped! Pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and more. The home is conveniently located for visiting Empire, Glen Arbor, Leland, Sutton’s Bay, Traverse City. It’s a quiet retreat to return to. From there we hiked Empire Bluffs (a favorite), Indian Trail (beautiful trail leading right to Lake Michigan), shopped Glen Arbor, visited North Bar Lake connected by a small creek to Lake Michigan for an entire afternoon, caught a sunset at Empire Beach (you can have a fire in one of their fire pits! Bring wood and your favorite wine from the area!), and got Moomers Ice Cream of course! ##### Kristi H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne E.

Very serene setting, surrounded by trees and lots of wildlife. Saw several deer and wild turkeys on the property. The downside was having to purchase more towels as only allotted 1 set per person. Did a lot of towel laundry - no extras like paper towels or toilet tissue on hand. All in all it was a beautiful weather week as well. ##### Le T.

It's exactly what you want from Northern Michigan. It was spotless, linens were great, beds were awesome. Lots of pots and pans if you want to cook and a great outdoor area. Tiny little drawback, it's a ways away from everything. However, if you want total silence in a tiny neighborhood in the woods, this is your place. ##### Carlo B.

Rented this beautiful house for 2 nights in October with my wife and two of our friends. Located within 1.5 miles of the Village of Empire and the National Park Service's headquarters for The Sleeping Bear Dunes. House is like new, large, spacious, and nicely decorated. The perfect spot to make as your basecamp if you are exploring the dunes or Leelanau county. Rental cost is very reasonable too. You won't be let down renting this property! ##### Todd G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
