first of all, let me just preface this review by noting that we had traveled from our home in michigan during the week after xmas/ winter--so its completely possible that our internal bar is already set a bit low, as its currently 25 degrees at home and we just got 5 inches of more snow yesterday. that being said, i can not express enough what a wonderful time we had during our time staying at this home and in this area! the area itself stands on its own. i cant remember having such an amazing sampling of some of the best and most diverse kinds of foods during a one week period of time! the whole area is very friendly and laid back/ much to see and do. with regard to this home, the beds were very very comfortable and we all slept so well during the entire week. the bathrooms and kitchen easy and functionable and clean. the heated pool was a bit cool however it worked well and was very refreshing with our 80 degree week. it is not covered with a screened lanai which means that there are leaves etc that fall into the pool and the surrounding area, but this was of no significant concern and there was a net/ broom available for any needed quick clean up. we used the pool daily and it was wonderful. the back yard around the pool is quite private and full of trees/ bushes which we liked. we did spend new years eve here and while the home owner does caution the renter about the need for quiet in the evening and fussy neighbors who will complain about noise--this did not seem to be the case on this evening, as there were fireworks going off all evening and im sure that if you were not from the flint/ detroit area where such noises are easily mistaken for gunshots they may have been perceived as festive! we would definitely stay here again, and have appreciated this place and home more than we can say.
