Four beds in three bedrooms with issues

Middling property. Nice to have four beds and three bedrooms. They are all "full" size. Had a few issues though. I sent the owner some questions three months prior to our visit in order to make some outside arrangements. I only got a response a few days before along with the arrival instructions. We never had WiFi during our stay, even though it was advertised as an amenity. The owner made one attempt at a fix by having the internet company reset access, but after that didn't work, nothing else was tried. We thought there were way too many air fresheners in the unit. There were probably three air fresheners per room. Also, no blow dryer was provided, even though it is a necessary amenity for those with long hair. This VRBO worked for us because we really only slept here, we spent our time and had our meals elsewhere. Wish we could have had better curtains to keep out the light. I would only recommend this property to travelers who won't spend much time here.

Great Location and Updated Property

Great location is Elk Rapids in terms of ease to get to everything. It is close to restaurants, a grocery store, and other establishments like Shorts and Ethanology. The place has been updated and looks great. The kitchen and fridge were a little small (was in the description of the property) but it worked for us. The closet was very large for clothes storage and worked well for us. I wish it would have had some tvs in the bedrooms as well (maybe they could be added). Overall, it was a nice stay and I would recommend.

The rental home was very nice and clean

The rental was perfect for my family. The home was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained and provided all of the necessary amenities not found in hotels. The host was very accomodating and responded quickly to my questions. I would definitely rent this home again.
