Not ready for prime time.
Had several home diy projects in process, left a feeling of not ready for guests. House obviously has a pet, dog hair throughout house. House was well equipped and is a very home, on the water. Just needs a deep clean and to complete projects.

MSU GAME
Extended family road-trip to see Badgers play Sparty. Home as advertised, convenient location near campus. Keith responded by phone promptly when we had a check in question. Enjoyed a fire along the river after the game. Only negative was I thought there were more beds.

Nice property but issues
Keith sent a nice message before arriving and we assumed the stay would be great. We quickly realized the house was no cleaned, toilets had poop stains and the shower had clumps of someone else’s hair all over and clearly the counter tops had no been wiped down. Unfortunately also upon arrival one of the two bathrooms was broken. We had 5 people and had to share a master suite bathroom the whole weekend, you can imagine the frustration that included. Luckily construction workers were set up outside and let us use their disgusting porta potty outside of his house. We reached out to the owner immediately with no response, second day reached out to owner and still have yet to get a response to this day. Clearly a joke to even try to get help. The second and only toilet almost gave out the first morning we stayed so clearly there was a known plumbing issue.

We were looking for a quiet neighborhood with a view and this home exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the fire pit by the water and having coffee on the dock. The back patio is AMAZING and our dogs enjoyed exploring the land. The host made us feel right at home!

Great for certain types of stays! Not for swimming/ floating.
This property would be great for a relaxing stay for a weekend or longer with no intention of swimming or floating on the water. Unfortunately that was the full intentions of our stay and was originally confirmed by Keith it would be possible. When we got there the seaweed and muck was so thick and smelly there was not much we could do. I spent two hours cleaning it up just so we could try and it was still pretty gross. We also did not have air conditioning the entire weekend due to a new system which was also unfortunate. Luckily we had a forgiving group who made it work. Keith was a great communicator, we just were pretty bummed out by the location due to our intentions with the house.

Weekend Stay
We had a wonderful weekend at Keith’s property with our friends. It was nice to have the water view. Very large yard was amazing for outdoor activities. Loved having the large bonfire pit by the water. We were able to kayak however you have to brave past some of the weedy water near the dock and entrance. Some of the outdoor furniture was broken, but there was plenty of space to sit and relax. Very much enjoyed our stay. We had no little kids with us, would need to have eyes kept on them if planning to bring here.

Property is as represented, and honestly very comfortable. We were a little surprised that the two lower-level bedrooms were combined, but it worked out fine for us. We would stay again!

Staying on th he grand river
The property was quite except for the train. You really can't fish, swim, or kayak at this property (which is why we choose it) as advertised because the moss and water grass took over the whole area. We couldn't use the sauna because everytime we turned it on it would blow the breaker. Beds were comfortable and sitting areas was nice. The "beach" is a little spot of sand dumped in the grass but my 15 month old grandson enjoyed it.
