Best VRBO Experience - Beyond Accommodating!

10/10 experience. Tricia is a phenomenal host. We booked a 2-night family getaway with our kids (8 and 1). Tricia truly thinks of everything - when we arrived there were kids books and bath toys ready and accessible, maps & guides for activities in the area, as well as menus for restaurants she recommended. The well stocked kitchen and other extras throughout the house made our stay stress-free. The house itself is very clean and spacious with incredible views. Feels like a luxurious home away from home! We will absolutely be back!!

Amazing and quiet stay in Michigan

We had an amazing stay here in Maple City. It was a secluded, quiet location with an amazing fire pit and gathering area. There's plenty of room for all of us. The hosts are super friendly and willing to help out if you need anything. We loved the place and would stay again if we're ever in the area! Highly recommend!

Wish we could stay longer

Lovely secluded and tranquil property but easy access to everywhere. Completely kitted out kitchen and a great space to chill out with friends or family. To be honest, it would work better for a family than couples or friends as the 3 sleeping areas are not similar at all, but it is a lovely house and suited our needs perfectly.
