A Wonderful Rental!

I am so pleased with the cabin rental, and could not get over the cleanliness. My husband and I stay in a lot of hotels, and this was better maintained than many. I could not get over all the amenities, that I would have never guessed would be available. From laundry detergent, to shampoo....to binoculars and games. We were able to make meals without a problem, and there were videos for the kids to watch. Additionally, the carpets/mats were all clean and didn't appear/feel overly used....and the bath towels were thick and plush, unlike the flat and old ones we've found in other rentals. The layout was nice, allowing for my family to stay upstairs, and the other family to stay on the main floor, so we all had our privacy. The owner was extremely helpful from beginning to end, providing detailed information, and answering any questions within a few hours. She was accomodating the entire time, and my husband said she was a very pleasant person to talk to as well. The community pool was great for the kids, and even the clubhouse had a lot of space to use (not that we used it). The town doesn't have a lot of restaurant choices, and after eating at one of the local places, I'd highly recommend bringing your own groceries and cooking at the cabin....it's cleaner, more convenient and there are utensils, pots, pans and dishes.
All in all, I can't say anything but positive things regarding this cabin and the owner. The only thing I would suggest, is maybe a tv in the basement. Once the kids went to bed, we stayed in the basement and played cards. Unfortunately, the husbands are big football fans, and weren't able to watch the MSU or Lions game this particular weekend. I also wouldn't have minded watching a movie one night, but we didn't want to take the chance of waking the kids (light sleepers!).
The owner really thought of everything, when it came to this cabin rental. Even the detailed paperwork with helpful suggestions, recommendations and directions to local markets, and a checklist to make sure we left the cabin in good condition, was something I wouldn't have expected. The location was also great, and allowed for the kids to have plenty of space to run around, without being too close to the road, and the fire pit was conveniently located for easy viewing for those of us who chose to stay warm inside! And there were even toys in a sandbox, another nice surprise for the kids.
This was such an enjoyable stay - I will recommend it in a heartbeat!
