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.

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.

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.

Staying on th he grand river
The property was quite except for the train. You really can't fish, swim, or kayak at this property (which is why we choose it) as advertised because the moss and water grass took over the whole area. We couldn't use the sauna because everytime we turned it on it would blow the breaker. Beds were comfortable and sitting areas was nice. The "beach" is a little spot of sand dumped in the grass but my 15 month old grandson enjoyed it.
