It was ok inside. The beds were comfortable. A lot of the applicances were broken like grill and waffle maker. The outside definitely needs some TLC. But does have a pretty lake view!

We had a lovely time at this house. Really enjoyed the beach for the kids! We all had plenty of space for sleeping and the location is awesome. We appreciated the wide array of fans in the closets to help keep it cool.

Secluded Get-Away

If you desire a wooded area away from the action of town-life, this is for you. Hunters and fishermen who are not concerned with basic amenities might appreciate. Definitely not for you if you are used to basic conveniences provided by other VRBO properties. While I still rate this as ok, I have experienced better attention to details by property owners. This is a basic place to lay your head. Owners appear unconcerned with providing amenities for their guests. It clearly states online that soap/body wash is not provided. However, I consider that a basic convenience. At least included at all other VRBOs (and hotels) at which I have stayed. Sheets did not fit the bed upstairs. The house is in need of simple repairs. Deck was not inviting, no furniture to sit and enjoy coffee outside. Hard water and stains definitely affect the appearance of eating utensils and dishes. I guess the rustic life with few amenities is not for me. Chad was nice enough and communicated well, but I expected more. I recall the online listing saying this was only 6 or 7 miles from St. Ignace, but it is more accurately 11 miles from town. Not a deal-breaker though.

Not accurate details in listing

The property can be great but sorely let go. The pictures on the listing are not current. There are broken doors, mold and deteriorating walls in bathrooms and overall a dirty home. We could not give the kids a bath in either tub and fought ants the whole week through the entire house. It would have been helpful to have a bug repellent device outside on the deck to spend any time there but there wasn’t any furniture on it anyway. The gas grill is unusable. We bought paper plates and cups as the dishwasher leaves a thick film on the kitchenware.

Wonderful long weekend family trip. The guys did some fishing and us ladies and kids did some shopping in town. We all visited the Deer Ranch twice. The house was just as listed. It was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable. Chad was great to work with.

Property is nice but needs updating and new cleaning service.

Owner's cleaning service is not very astute. They ask you to put dishes in dishwasher and turn it on when you leave but don't provide dishwasher detergent. So, coffee cups are horribly stained and dirty on arrival. We only used coffee pot and coffee cups during our stay as we ate out our entire stay. We had to wash our cups with a brush to get them usable. Two beds were made without top sheets so we had to find top sheets to go between the fitted sheets and comforter. They were available but the cleaning person obviously doesn't care about quality work. Child finger prints are on the massive windows from previous guests and either not seen or simply not cleaned off. Bath tubs did not have anti-slip mats so they were improvising with a rug, stayed wet because it's not designed for the purpose. Lawn and driveway need some maintenance as limbs from trees obstruct view and rub your rental car as you drive in the driveway. All in all, it was nice enough and we are happy but I do a pretty concise review so the owner can either be aware of the problems and fix or he can ignore them and loose future guests.
