I wish I could just move in!

Boulder-Traveler Boulder, CO, USA
Review Submitted: October 14, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
After four days at the McGee house, I wish I could just move in! The house is cosy but spacious, the hardwood floors are lovely, all the equiment works very well, the neighborhood is pleasant and I felt very safe. I enjoyed the sound system, having a washer and dryer and the carefully equipped kitchen. Mark the owner does a superb job of keeping in touch, he is easy to work with and his instruction booklet is more than complete. The added perk of useful provisions in the kitchen made it easy to walk in and start living here without even having to go the the grocery store first.
Owner's Response: I really do enjoy this neighborhood as well: close to everything, but not so close as to be busy/noisy.
And I do try to stock the house with some basic provisions (especially some breakfast items, as well as laundry liquid, etc.) so that guests will not need to run out to the store immediately upon arrival.
And from staying in other vacation rentals, I know how handy it is to have a "house guidebook" that one can reference when needed: giving not only info about the some the equipment in the house, but also some suggested destinations in the neighborhood (restaurants, coffee shops, theatres, etc.). - Mark, Owner

McGee House

Billthewonderful Northville, MI
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My wife and I recently completed a month's stay at the McGee House. We loved the house and the area. The bed, furniture, and TV/CD/Stereo system were all first class. The fenced back yard allowed us to leave our small dog safely unattended when we walked to the campus area or rode our bikes along the bike paths bordering the bay. We especially enjoyed the hummingbirds in the back yard and wonderful plants in both the rear and front of the house.
Bill and Ellen, Northville Michigan
Owner's Response: I have tried to equip the house with fine furnishings and equipment, and am glad that my guests enjoy these amenities. Similarly, I have created an environment in the private back yard where guests can retreat for some quite time, enjoying the scents of the rosemary plants and flowers. - Mark, owner
