The farmhouse is NOT lakeshore/lakefront. The lake is across the street behind the trees. There is a remote access. The firepit at the yard was muddy, and grassy. The firepit at the shore was crowded for 4. The dock that was supposedly good fishing was unstable/ shaky. This property is very misrepresented on the VRBO site. The farmhouse is old, not quaint, it was dirty and not set up for vacationers. It seemed to be a storehouse for other items not needed by users. All surfaces had misc items and there really wasn’t space for our things. The cupboards were dirty, I washed anything I used first. The ceiling was peeling and nothing was updated. The oven was gross. It had well water with a very high iron/sulphur content, the smell was unpleasant and it was certainly un drinkable. We were definitely disappointed in these accommodations as they were not up to usual VRBO standards. It made for an unpleasant time, but we stayed away for the most part. The outdoor areas were muddy, dirty, outside furniture and grill need attention, unusable. Do you folks at VRBO do inspections periodically? I have pics if needed. The area was lovely. We enjoyed Petoskey, Charlevoix, the ferry right there, and the Landing restaurant. We are fine with ‘roughing it’ but that wasn’t our plan this trip. Too bad it was poorly misrepresented. It was an unpleasant experience. Not worth what we paid.
