Escape to this Country like charm, in the Heart of the Thumb- Simply Beautiful

Country in the City - This charming home has a comfy clean feel, with a very peaceful surrounding. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. MB-has a Tempur-pedic King size bed, 2nd has a Queen, and 3rd has two twin beds. Sun room- has a pull out couch w/an extra padding available. Kitchen is well equipped & seats 6, plenty of essentials to help make a meal. Living room has a 55" TV, and a gas fireplace too cozy by in the cooler months. Laundry room, Work station area (200 mbps)
Sit back, relax, grill out on a weber gas grill, and watch the deer & wild life around, you'll be surprised sometimes how many deer you may see. Sit on the back deck, or front porch. Play some corn hole, have a cold drink. Just 3/4 mile from town, quiet street kids can play with no worries. Take a walk, just unwind and relax. Life is short, make some memories.
For the Kids- pack-n-play, highchair, games, books & adding more
I leave a gift basket of goodies, bread to bake fresh, just a down home feel.

We were very impressed with this property and would definitely stay there again when visiting family again. Was decorated beautiful, every room was very clean. The Host were very friendly, if we had a question I would text and they wood answer in a timely manner. They had all kinds of games for our grandchildren to play. The grandchildren loved just running around the property looking for deer or petting their very friendly cat.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean with a great location. Very quiet and serene with beautiful views from the windows. All the “extras” supplied by the host were truly appreciated! I highly recommend this VRBO rental.

Fabulous Marlette Home

The clean, large, comfortable home was perfect for our stay. The 2.5 baths were great with 6 adults. Enough room to spread out. Close to Marlette town center. Decorated for the Holiday season was very much appreciated!

Just like home!

My husband and I came out to Marlette to celebrate our Grandson's 2nd birthday. We were thrilled to find this beautiful property so close to our daughter and son in laws home! The location is close to the main road but once you pull down the road it is very quiet and secluded. The house was very clean, nicely decorated...my favorite spot was watching the deer from the sunroom. Our only regret was our trip was very quick, hopefully next time we can stay longer. This was one of the nicest VRBO's we have stayed in, Gloria was a fantastic host!

Everything You Can Think Of!

Spotlessly clean, excellent communication and host is very helpful, friendly. The attention to detail is by far superior to most nightly rentals. The homemade bread delicious! Quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Safe and comfortable. If you’re traveling to the area you can’t find a better more reasonable accommodation. Worth every penny.
