Summary: Everything was great, the best were comfortable, there were a variety of pillows to choose from, and whatever is used as a parameter spray is very effective to deter bugs. The vacuum was left out which was a plus and they left a new sponge for dishes. The fireplace was cozy and welcomed with the chilly nights. It was a little difficult to find in the dark the first time and being off season, but had we not dilldallied around we would have gotten there in daylight it would have been fine. It’s the perfect distance between suttons bay and down town TC. Overall, wonderful!
