This is the house you'll want to rent!
Submitted: December 8, 2010
Stayed: November 2010
We are vacation rental owners ourselves so I have to admit we're very picky about where we stay, and we can't think of anything negative about this stay or our experience renting the house.
We had 3 families staying for the week of Thanksgiving and everyone had a great time. The house was clean, roomy and comfortable for the 9 adults and 3 children we had in our party. The house was so homey we ended up staying more at the rental than at our parents house (who we came to visit) a mile away. There were many well thought extras, like hair dryers in every bathroom and plenty of nice quality towels. The master bathroom is gorgeous with a huge walk in shower and a spa tub the kids loved to take their bath in. There was even a drawer full of sample soaps and such in case you forgot something. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were even frosted beer mugs which pleased the beer drinkers in our group. We enjoyed visiting around the roaring fire in the fireplace and the kids loved the large dining room table for all their drawings and projects. We had snow twice while we were there and luckily there were snow shovels in the garage. The owners have thought of everything!
We didn't eat out much since we had such a large group, but we did enjoy Randy's pizza our first night, and we had a lovely meal at The Pier. We also had a great lunch at City Park Grill in Petoskey. After lunch we strolled through the cute shops and picked up some Christmas gifts.
Diane was great to work with in renting the house, and responded immediately to all of our quires. Many rentals I inquired about renting never bothered to respond, but Diane was spot on. We received our deposit back so quickly, I hardly had time to think about it.
I would highly recommend this house for any season and for any combination of family or friends looking for a great retreat.
Thanks Diane for sharing your home with us and thanks for catering to our special request. We'll be sure to check your home first when renting in Harbor Springs again!
