Reviewer Comments:
Overall, we had a great stay at this home. We thought this house was very spacious with lots of room to gather. We had a great experience overall, and the location is very conveniently close to the town (only about a 5 minute drive into town).We have a few suggestions for a better stay;1. Deeper clean before the guests arrive. The home was not very clean when we arrived; the floors were covered in dirt, lamps were covered in spider webs, and you can just tell that the surfaces were not touched very well. We were hesitant to sit outside on the patio because it was covered in spider webs, bugs, and debris. We understand we were in the woods, but we believe it could have been touched before we arrived. Once we took the time to dust everything off ourselves, we enjoyed the space nightly. The trash bin was full when we arrived, but it was taken care of in a timely manner which we appreciated! 2. If there is no AC in the home, we’d appreciate working fans to cool down the space. Although having no AC was not a problem for us, a few of the fans were not in working condition so it was a little unpleasant in terms of the interior air flow and temperature. 3. The Primary Bedroom tv was not functioning. It was a minor detail but we weren’t able to enjoy the tv at a time where we would have liked to wind down in bed. Other than this feedback, we really enjoyed the home overall. We would recommend this place to family and friends if the above suggestions were looked at. This was a wonderful stay!

The house was a good size, location, and setup. We enjoyed our stay. A couple things to note:House interior temperature was cold upon arrival check in. The home than took a while to get to a comfortable temperature. Fireplace was very drafty and the flue was not able to shut properly. - the was mice excrement found on downstairs bedding below the covers. We continued to find mouse droppings in basement during our stay in bedrooms and on the bathroom counter. - kitchen was missing hot pads to cook with. Coffee make brew took 30 minutes plus?

We loved this cute little lodge in the woods. It was so peaceful - we loved looking out in the morning and seeing deer. We actually didn't know what we were getting because we got moved to this property instead of our original rental and it was even better than we could have imagined. Comfy beds, lots of space to spread out, a fantastic kitchen, lovely views...I could go on and on.

The lodge was well-prepared for our stay including propane for the grill. We would book this house again and highly recommend it as a rental facility. No communication with the property manager was necessary.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful place. The large and many windows provided amazing views. Everything was top notch. High quality cooking devices, excellent coffee pot, huge refrigerator & freezer, and other amenities. The large living room provided ample room for our family and friends to gather together. The road was packed snow and my van could not get up the hill. Luckily our Son-in-law's 4 wheel drive truck made it up the hill no problem.

We enjoyed our stay the home was beautiful. The sliding door did not lock that was a concern, called and reported it as soon as we discovered it. Unfortunately was not repaired while we were there. The driveway was on a hill, with a curve and short. There is a reason they said no more than 3 cars. I recommend not to follow too closely into the driveway. We would definitely stay again.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The house was mostly equipped with items needed for a weekend stay, and the location was super handy for attending a wedding at The Homestead. Our only recommendations would be a larger dish washer for the size house, the dehumidifier emptied regularly, and some sort of A/C unit in the basement as we were uncomfortably hot downstairs, otherwise we’d definitely come stay again.

We had a wonderful time staying at this house. It was one of the best VRBO experiences I have had. The check in experience was easy, and the hosts had very straightforward and easy to meet requests for check out. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. The living room was perfect for lounging around to read a book or chat with friends. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook food for two families with four adults and 5 kids. We hope to come back for a longer stay in the future!

Nice Homestead Property
We had a great time, overall. Accessible place. Roomy. Minor glitches: BBQ ran out of fuel and badly needed cleaning. Temperature hard to control with programmable thermostats. Could use some extra blankets in the bedrooms for cold weather.

This house is tucked away within the Homestead Resort, just beautiful. Lots of room and a kitchen with everything. The refrigerator/freezer is huge!! We walked on the trails in the snow and ever walked on lake Michigan with frozen waves. Tons of wineries around - Lake Leeland and Glen Arbor. Tons to do anytime of year.

Short ski trip
Beautiful property and nicely maintained, but problems with heat. The only complaint is that many of the Nest thermostats went down to 55 degrees after two hours making it unbearably cold at times in a very cold January

Great Family Time Together
This house was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 2 children. The home was super clean and updated, the kitchen was complete with all the pots, pans and dishes, and any utensil we could have needed! The appliances were modern and very high end. All of the furnishings were very nice and newer. We would totally recommend this rental home.

My daughter was married on the Homestead property and we chose this home so we could all stay together for the week. We Loved this property! It is a beautiful home! The living room area was so spacious and a great gathering place for all 10 of us! The windows all over provided a spectacular view of the wooded surroundings! The amenities were great! We found that the bedrooms accommodated us all comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed! Everything was very clean and well maintained. We also loved the location - so close to the hangout Whiskers- just a short walk! The management team was wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend this home for your Homestead stay!

Family Getaway
Property was lovely, and the perfect `home away from home'. Our arrival was seamless due to the thorough and prompt communication. House was in excellent condition and VERY clean. We enjoyed making meals together in the full amenities kitchen and relaxing in the evening following all the great outdoor activities in the area. The house has room to spread out and have your own space yet seating for everyone if you want to be together to watch Netflix, a movie, or eat a meal together. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Very nice home, lots of room for everyone.
Only challenge was the home has large windows and it was quite cold this past weekend. We set the thermostat to 70 and it would auto adjust to 64 on it's own. We were quite chillly!

Great ski weekend
Great property, fun weekend. The satellite pin was misleading, this is not on the ski hill but across the road. If you’re looking for ski-in, ski-out this is not the best place. It is really close to the village though so it was easy enough. Would stay there again.

Stunning home. Perfect Winter break.
Skippers Woods is beautiful in the middle of winter. The home is stunning with the amazing windows overlooking the snow covered woods. Things were still closed because of our times, but the home was a perfect get-away, very roomy, and a wonderful kitchen! There is a fun ski slope at the Homestead and Whiskers Restaurant and Bar with outside fire pits. Although activity was limited, the great nearby restaurants were open for coffee in the morning and takeout for lunch or dinner. Loved Cherry Public House. Anderson's market is up the road for groceries and spirits. Loved the lower level suite of the home which gave a couple of med students their own space to study and hangout. Great home for families or friends in both the summer and the winter. If restaurants were open, we would have been at Boondocks a few times, enjoying great dinners by their fireplace. Next year. Thank you for a very nice break from our downstate routines.
