The yard is wonderful and so spacious for all activities you could want to do outside. The house is a bit smaller than anticipated, but with enough air mattresses we all slept comfortably. The air conditioning had a hard time keeping up, but it was very hot and humid outside, and there were 10 of us in the kitchen/living room area, so it's somewhat expected. Keith was great and communicates well. While I wouldn't take a large group of all men to this home again, I would use it for families or couples trips. It's a great house in a great, quiet location.

Family time for nationals

We stayed in Lansing because our son was participating in trap shoot nationals. We really enjoyed the property and the view of the river

Location is great

Right on the Grand River, this rental had excellent outdoor activities. The house is lived in so there is little separation between the owner’s belongings and rental space. This was challenging at times trying to keep kids out of the owners goods. Two suggestions- lower the island bar stools as they are too tight to fit legs under the new island. (Great island btw). The second suggestion is for new mattresses in the lower bedrooms. One has a big sag in the middle and the other is lumpy. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the great location.

Awful!Vrbo should investigate this owner/home- should have known something was fishy with a 3000 fee- SCAM.Cleaning crew should be ashamed- When we arrived, the house was dirty, smelly, and unkempt, owner had clothes in bedroom closet and food in the refrigerator and freezer. Dishes, bowls, glasses all had to be washed before usage. Kitchen floor needed to be swept. Outdoor deck chairs were very dirty and the card table was disgusting. Very misleading description- not 4 bedrooms, really 3, entertainment room did not have bedsIt does not sleep 12, we barely fit 9 uncomfortably.The downstairs basement beds were not queen beds, the entertainment room did not have beds, rather couches, futon in the living room was unusable (it was not a living room, rather the landing area of stairs to the bedrooms). If we opened the futon, it would block the entrances to the upstairs bedrooms.The upstairs bathroom door and main entry door didn’t close properly.The temperature was brutal- basement 60, main level 78, upstairs 80- very hard to sleepRooms facing sunrise didn’t have shadesThe boat was not operational.Seemed like a failing/leaning tree in the yard could be hazardousRun down, poor quality homeShould not be able to rent!

Beautiful unique property!

We very much enjoyed our stay- even caught a catfish in the backyard! My only issue is that it is a 3 bedroom- not 4 like the add says. It also says there is a queen sized bed in the entertainment room and there isn’t. The kids slept on couches and it was fine, but the add should be corrected. That said, it’s a wonderfully unique house in a fantastic location!

Great riverfront location

This is a comfortable home with many amenities. It has a large yard that connects to a small beach and river access. It is in a quiet area that is still within easy reach of the city. The owner communicates well and is thoughtful. Needs were anticipated and addressed before we had even arrived. The family had a great time. We would certainly stay again.

Not ready for prime time.

Had several home diy projects in process, left a feeling of not ready for guests. House obviously has a pet, dog hair throughout house. House was well equipped and is a very home, on the water. Just needs a deep clean and to complete projects.

MSU GAME

Extended family road-trip to see Badgers play Sparty. Home as advertised, convenient location near campus. Keith responded by phone promptly when we had a check in question. Enjoyed a fire along the river after the game. Only negative was I thought there were more beds.

Nice property but issues

Keith sent a nice message before arriving and we assumed the stay would be great. We quickly realized the house was no cleaned, toilets had poop stains and the shower had clumps of someone else’s hair all over and clearly the counter tops had no been wiped down. Unfortunately also upon arrival one of the two bathrooms was broken. We had 5 people and had to share a master suite bathroom the whole weekend, you can imagine the frustration that included. Luckily construction workers were set up outside and let us use their disgusting porta potty outside of his house. We reached out to the owner immediately with no response, second day reached out to owner and still have yet to get a response to this day. Clearly a joke to even try to get help. The second and only toilet almost gave out the first morning we stayed so clearly there was a known plumbing issue.

We were looking for a quiet neighborhood with a view and this home exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the fire pit by the water and having coffee on the dock. The back patio is AMAZING and our dogs enjoyed exploring the land. The host made us feel right at home!

Great for certain types of stays! Not for swimming/ floating.

This property would be great for a relaxing stay for a weekend or longer with no intention of swimming or floating on the water. Unfortunately that was the full intentions of our stay and was originally confirmed by Keith it would be possible. When we got there the seaweed and muck was so thick and smelly there was not much we could do. I spent two hours cleaning it up just so we could try and it was still pretty gross. We also did not have air conditioning the entire weekend due to a new system which was also unfortunate. Luckily we had a forgiving group who made it work. Keith was a great communicator, we just were pretty bummed out by the location due to our intentions with the house.

Weekend Stay

We had a wonderful weekend at Keith’s property with our friends. It was nice to have the water view. Very large yard was amazing for outdoor activities. Loved having the large bonfire pit by the water. We were able to kayak however you have to brave past some of the weedy water near the dock and entrance. Some of the outdoor furniture was broken, but there was plenty of space to sit and relax. Very much enjoyed our stay. We had no little kids with us, would need to have eyes kept on them if planning to bring here.
