We rented Timber Ridge home that was originally listed as a "luxury" resort. (They have since removed "luxury" from their listing). Although the view of Lake Charlevoix is amazing, the home is certainly NOT luxury by any means! The home is dirty, has bugs, the furniture is broken down, and the home is in great need of repairs and attention. Pictures on website does not reflect actuality. Not worth the price!!

We had a wonderful week-long stay at a beautiful home north of Harbor Springs along the tunnel of trees. Holiday Vacation Rentals were great to deal with making booking and payment easy. They also sent along tips for nearby beaches and places to eat. The home was amazing, very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the large screened in porch area. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook great meals. Surrounded by woods, this property felt very private and we saw lots of deer. We would stay here again.

We arranged our rental through this company and were very pleased. Our family of 11 stayed at the Turret House in Birchwood Farms. It was a lovely, clean house. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, knives, dishes, and other kitchen items. The decor in each room is attractive and functional. The only problem we had was that the sink backed up the first day we were there. Management sent someone over to address the issue. It was partially addressed, but we were not able to use half the kitchen sink the rest of the week. The pool at Birchwood is very nice, and all of the staff we encountered

Had a wonderful experience at Petoskey Grove. The house was cleaner than almost any other place we've visited. We had many places to sleep and loved the firepit in the yard! It was great to have wood there for us! Appliances were lovely, kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. The stairs leading up to the second floor were very shallow and steep, so we were a little worried about kids falling. You will definitely hit your head if you're not careful upstairs, but the creative bedroom configurations and # of beds were appreciated to fit our group. The second queen needs a new mattress
