Other Details to Note

<br>🔐 The main guest must be 21+ to book. 👥 The property is one of three units in a building, and shares a wall with one of the units. There are two other buildings in the community, which include other rental units. The beach area, dock, and fire pits are shared amongst the community and other rental guests. ❄️ Like many homes in the region, our home does not have full coverage for A/C. There is only a portable A/C unit in the living room. Summers in Northern Michigan are typically mild, but we provide portable fans for your comfort. We also encourage guests to open the windows to enjoy the fresh air and enhance circulation as needed. 🚰 The property uses well water. Depending on the season – particularly when hot – the water may have a sulfur smell. This is common in the area, and it is perfectly safe to use and drink the water. We provide a Brita water pitcher for your convenience as well. 🧦 Due to septic tank limitations, there is no in-unit washer and dryer. If needed, there is a laundromat about 10 minutes away. 🔥 The living room fireplace is inoperable and cannot be used. 🕙 The property is located in a quiet, secluded community. We kindly ask that there are no parties, events, or loud noises. Quiet hours are observed from 10:00pm to 8:00am. 🌳 The property is located in a wooded area, so you may encounter bugs, reptiles, and furry critters of all sizes (including but not limited to rodents, squirrels, and deer). While we have regularly scheduled pest control, we cannot guarantee that these critters won’t be visible in and around the property. Please keep doors closed and avoid leaving food outside to prevent unwanted critters. Additionally, please refrain from feeding any wildlife. Refunds will not be provided if a local critter visits the property. 🚫 Refunds will not be provided for power outages, weather, natural disasters, or other events beyond our control.

We had a great stay at Doug's place. It fit our group of 8 and it was a nice spot right on the lake. Doug also communicated very clearly throughout the process. I would highly recommend Doug's place if you are in the area.

The house was very cozy, quiet and close to where we needed to be. Doug is a fantastic host and very responsive to all my questions and was always polite and accommodating. This is a great getaway place for a family with small kids. I would definitely stay there again. The parking area was a little small and distant from the units. If you end up arriving late in the day it is hard to find a space to park. It's basically a first come first serve to a find a decent spot.

The place was very pretty and clean. Doug was very attentive, a last minute problem popped up with the cabin and he was quick to move us to a next door cabin. The transition was smooth and any questions were answered right away.
