We booked this cottage for its location and pet friendliness. Both of those are great reasons to stay here! A few things to know:
The backyard is fenced but our small 11 pound pup found lots of garbage in the grass and also managed to find spaces to escape so you do have to watch them out there.
We let Vacasa know immediately about cleanliness issues but those were not tended to because “their biz hours are weekdays 9-5” which belies the service industry. The front door needs attention; we had trouble locking/unlocking it because it is not square and at one point was completely stuck shut.
Overall, we still had a great time because of the location but want folks to know what they can expect when renting this place!

This was the perfect place to stay as we traveled with 2 adult golden retrievers. So grateful that property owners allow pets. The dogs and humans had a wonderful stay and we will book again next year.

Close to everything, very homey. Waze and google sent us down a dead end so be aware there is a gap in this street. Everything else was wonderful.
5.0
The place was exactly what we expected, super clean, and had everything we needed. A great home base for exploring the northwest lower peninsula!
