Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Both Kristen and her husband were great. They managed several little last minute difficulties we had without any problems. They are wonderful to work with and the property was exactly as presented. It's wonderful property. If you're looking for lakefront, living or fishing. We were there with six guys fishing that managed to enjoy the town. It is close to salmon fishing on the Muskegon, the pier Marquette or the Manistee Rivers depending on which one is active. The town nearby is charming And they readily gave us recommendations for different activities and eating venues.
