We offer a brand-new rental listing! Even though this is a new listing, we are experienced hosts. We hosted another property in Northern Michigan with 5-star reviews for 3 years. We know reviews drive a comfort in choosing a rental property for your friends & family. As a new listing we are looking to boost our reviews by exceeding your expectations. We frequent this rental as it is our home away from home and because of that we stock it with more amenities/extras than most! Please feel free to contact us with any questions about our home. We look forward to hosting you.
