We couldn’t get the tv’s to work, the cleaning people left 4 garbage bags for us to take care of. We contacted Vacasa on our 2nd day of a two week stay and they showed up in the afternoon of our last day there. I will never rent again when Vacasa is the property manager. ##### William R.

Jul 18, 2020 #### The owners thought of everything We truly enjoyed our stay at this home. The owners have thought of almost any comfort you may want in a rental: excellent kitchen, very comfortable beds, extra toiletries. The view from the front porch area is just breathtaking. The decor is a bit dated, but for a home of this caliber, who cares? The real decor is outside your window. When we arrived, a serious storm had passed through the area and the was no electricity. The local Vacasa rep called ahead to tell us, which we appreciated. There was also an issue with trash from the previous tenant left on the garage, but when I notified Vacasa, someone came within 30 minutes to pick it up. We would absolutely rent this lovely property again, so don’t hesitate to book it. ##### Mary H.

Right down the road from Pond H... Really just a terrific place to enjoy rest, rejuvenation and fun. Right down the road from Pond Hill Farm and downtown Harbor Springs. Across the street and "down the way" from a beautiful nature preserve. Loved the views of Lake Michigan. The house is beautifully appointed with a lovely kitchen and an ideal first floor laundry (perfect for families). Aside from the gracious decor, each cozy chair (and there are many) has its own reading lamp...a great place to cozy-up with a book. Many baskets of blankets in the common areas to help with the "cozy." Beautiful wooded neighborhood in which to run, walk or bike ride. We can't say enough about this beautiful place. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen .. Mar 10, 2015 #### What an absolutely beautiful home in which to stay. Comfort, space, and lovely decor. We enjoyed ... What an absolutely beautiful home in which to stay. Comfort, space, and lovely decor. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch each morning and spotted deer in the wooded backyard in the evenings. The kitchen had every amenity needed or desired. The association's pool is perfect or drive a short distance to Petoskey State Park and the beach. Just a quick, pretty drive to downtown Harbor Springs. We enjoyed the drive more each time we took it. Really just the perfect retreat for a couple or family. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Kristen .. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [MotorCity Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-MotorCity-Casino-Hotel.h1764738.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-The-Westin-Book-Cadillac-Detroit.h2227690.Hotel-Information) > > [Element Detroit at the Metropolitan](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Element-Detroit-At-The-Metropolitan.h30224720.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollywood Casino at Greektown](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Greektown-Casino-Hotel.h2413847.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Detroit - Dearborn](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Detroit-Dearborn.h13943.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel St. Regis](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Hotel-St-Regis.h20154.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Detroit Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Detroit-Downtown.h990185.Hotel-Information) > > [Graduate by Hilton Ann Arbor](https://www.expedia.ca/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Graduate-Ann-Arbor.h20172.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Detroit Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Rivertown-Inn-Suites-Downtown-Detroit.h1112132.Hotel-Information) > > [Shinola Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Shinola-Hotel.h31942185.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Detroit Downtown - Fort Shelby](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Detroit-Downtown-Fort-Shelby.h2447773.Hotel-Information) > > [The Siren Hotel, an Ash Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-The-Siren-Hotel.h19365870.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Detroit Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Detroit-Downtown.h13591.Hotel-Information) > > [Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Detroit-Marriott-At-The-Renaissance-Center.h7472.Hotel-Information) > > [MGM Grand Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-MGM-Grand-Detroit.h1705854.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Downtown Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Downtown-Detroit.h74175.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Muskegon Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Muskegon-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Muskegon-Convention-Center.h15622.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Pontchartrain Detroit, a Wyndham Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Hotel-Pontchartrain-Detroit-By-Bel-Air-Collection.h3653.Hotel-Information) > > [Trumbull and Porter Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Trumbull-And-Porter-Hotel.h1461189.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel David Whitney, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Aloft-Detroit-At-The-David-Whitney.h9351138.Hotel-Information) > > [Atheneum Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Atheneum-Suite-Hotel.h897.Hotel-Information) > > [Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Rapids-Hotels-Amway-Grand-Plaza.h8766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn on Ferry Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-The-Inn-On-Ferry-Street.h848357.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasa Cadillac Square Detroit](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Sonder-The-Randolph.h44274993.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Detroit Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Downtown.h563874.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Detroit Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Detroit-Downtown.h543746.Hotel-Information) > > [Weber's Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Webers-Hotel-Restaurant.h21561.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy Gabriel Richard Apartments Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Sonder-At-Gabriel-Houze.h59903424.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Ann Arbor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Sheraton-Ann-Arbor-Hotel.h13497.Hotel-Information) > > [Detroit Foundation Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Detroit-Foundation-Hotel.h17271551.Hotel-Information)
