Renting a cottage in northern Michigan – so far so good


It’s always a leap of faith to rent a vacation cottage sight unseen – although the Internet has helped a lot by offering at least some photos. But even if the rooms look clean and somewhat spacious – will they be when you arrive.?And will you have rowdy neighbors throwing a wild and crazy party in their ramshackle trailer? As in life, there are no guarantees on vacation.

But so far I’ve been impressed by the staff at Visit Up North.com who  helped me book our cottage. I’ve called ahead and made sure about a few things that weren’t spelled out in the contract – yes there are linens for the sofabed, no there are no laundry facilities (but I was given the name of a good laundromat nearby.) Some good signs:   the staff are personable and seem to  know the area well. Now the proof is in the pudding.
