Sunflower Cove 3 Bed/2 Bath Lakehouse of Gladwin

SherriRating, 5 stars9 months ago

There were 4 adults staying for Labor Day weekend. We had more than enough room for all. We have vacationed together for years. We all agreed this was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. So well put together and everything you could ever need. The yard was beautiful, the deck had beautiful views of the lake. The furniture was very comfy and there was nothing more we could have wanted.

Perfect downtown location!

What an adorable stay! I especially appreciated the decor in both bedrooms. Very well appointed (along with the exposed brick) and they thought of all the things to make it feel welcoming. Bed was very comfortable, lovely towels and linens, comfortable living room furniture to relax. It's in a perfect downtown location also. Walkable to all sorts of restaurants and coffee shops. Aaron was very communicative and helpful also! Definitely recommend!

Roomy Downtown Apartment 3bd/2ba

KasmaraRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Absolutely loved this place. Midland overall is safe, but this neighborhood definitely felt safe, its nearby a school and the hospital. My favorite thing about this place was that it actually felt homey. After a long day, it was so nice to cook in our own private space and relax, plus this space was spacious! My second favorite part was having a pack n’ play and high chair on site. This made travel with my toddler a breeze! Will definitely use this place again!

Relaxing Beach Retreat

JohannaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Not too big, not too small. Lindsay's place was everything we needed and nothing we didn't. We felt cozy and at home, perfect for resting between busy days. The beach is quite a walk but the hand drawn maps help to find the way!

The Upstairs

NessaRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Karen was an amazing host! Check in was extremely easy and the place was easy to find! Both Karen and Mark were so so friendly! My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed wandering through Karen's shop downstairs all while chatting with Karen the whole time. We felt like we've known her for years! She was so helpful while I was trying to find the perfect gift in her shop. The space we stayed in was perfect! It was cozy, comfortable and clean! The black out curtains were welcomed, as were the A/C's and fan! The furniture was comfortable and everything we needed for the weekend. Highly recommend to anyone, and we will definitely be back in the event we come back to that area. Zero complaints!
