The house is spacious and clean, with plenty of room to gather—including a cozy living room with high ceilings, a big dining table perfect for meals, a front patio for relaxing and watching the rain, and a back deck for outdoor hangouts. The fire pit is a nice touch, though the swing and outdoor chairs could use some repair or updating. There's ample parking and the property is pet-friendly, which was a huge plus. Communication with the host was excellent—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.There are a few things to be aware of, especially if you're traveling with young kids. The outdoor space wasn't quite as advertised—the trails had poison ivy, and the stairs down to the river were damaged, with missing steps that caused a few people to trip. The deck balusters were widely spaced, posing a fall risk for little ones if not closely supervised. The gates at the stairwell were not secure, and one of the bunk beds had a broken ladder. Also, the bathroom layout could be inconvenient—only one full bathroom is accessible to everyone, while the other is located inside the master bedroom, meaning others would have to pass through to use the shower.Great for relaxing on-site. Stores 15 min, lakes 30 min, Dow Gardens & Lake Huron park 50 min away.In summary, this is a great spot for large groups of adults or teens looking for a comfortable, pet-friendly getaway, but it may not be the best fit for families with young children due to some safety concerns.
