Cabin was nice. Clean, and well maintained. Only reason not given 5 stars was no WI-FI, or cable TV. We had a very nice time taking walks with our 3 dogs and location was close to visit transverse city and Charlevoix

Nice spot

Over all, we were satisfied with our stay although the futon and sofa were not comfortable in our opinion. We would also suggest that you bring your own water since there was a metallic taste to the water from the faucet.

We had a very disappointing experience with this property and feel obligated to warn future guests.When we arrived, it was immediately clear the unit had not been cleaned from the previous guests. When we pulled back the sheets on the main bed, we found multiple types of hair under the sheets along with visible stains. Hoping it was just that bed, we checked the spare bedding, but all of it was also dirty, stained, and covered in hair.We pulled out the futon hoping it might be usable, but it was covered in dog hair and sand from previous guests. At that point it was obvious the unit had not been properly cleaned between stays. We also found both live and dead bugs in the unit.We attempted to contact the host and reached out to VRBO through their platform while we were there. After getting nowhere and realizing the property was not in a condition to stay in, we left after about an hour and booked a hotel instead.The next morning the hosts messaged us through VRBO agreeing to a 100% refund, but when we attempted to get the refund they denied it. Despite the written agreement, VRBO was zero help resolving the situation.The listing’s claims about cleanliness were misleading, the unit was clearly not cleaned between guests, and the hosts went back on their promise to refund us. I would strongly recommend avoiding this property.
Dead bugs in the kitchen.
Stains and hair covered the backup bedding we tried to use after the primary bedding was filthy, covered with animal and human hair, stains, and odors.
Thought we might try to stay on the futon, that ended up being covered with sand and animal hair.
Bedding was not changed from previous guests, covered in lint and hair.
