Excellent-highly recommend!!
Our stay at High Banks exceeded our expectations! The home is beautifully furnished and decorated. Immaculately clean. Plenty of room for us & our 4 legged family members. Everything we could need and then some. Our host Tony was very friendly and thoughtful. Wish we'd had more than 1 night here!

Top notch
We stayed here one night only but wished we could move in!!! A lot of love and care was put into this beautifully updated lakeside place. We had anything and everything we could possibly need including handy bicycles to get around and a well stocked Kitchen for breakfast! The four of us friends have stayed in many VRBO’s and this one is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. Thank you Tony for a great experience on the last evening of our trip.

Great place!!
We greatly enjoyed our overnight stay. This place has a quiet location that has easy access to nearby activities/businesses. The stocked kitchen is definitely a bonus for travelers, as it really helped that we didn’t need to stop and pick up anything for breakfast or to drink. The place is tastefully decorated and comfortable. Highly recommend!! Would definitely stay again if we need lodging in the area.

So many unique and personal touches
We had a great stay! We came up for the MISH Experience triathlon. This house was a perfect location, had a nice view of the lake across the street and a large backyard for an evening bonfire after a tough race. Tony was really thoughtful about so many things with this house. We look forward to staying here for the race next year.

It's everything that's promised and more
My family came stayed for 5 nights on our U.P. vacation. The house has so much character and is decorated so thoughtfully with meaningful pieces explained in a book that is in the house. When Tony says there is a fully stocked kitchen, he's not kidding. It was beyond our expectations. The house was clean and comfortable. It also has a great location. We rode the vintage bikes north to the park one night and walked to the ice cream parlor another time. The view from the deck never got old. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It helped make for a very enjoyable vacation. Tony is a terrific host.

Great place to stay!
Home was very nicely equipped with everything you might need - uniquely decorated and very comfortable for 4-6 people. We anticipated having to go to the grocery store but everything we needed was there (condiments, bread, fruit, drinks, breakfast foods, and choice of farm fresh or organic eggs). Nicely done Tony…thank you for the wonderful stay! Wish we could have stayed longer than two days!

Unique property with attention to details!
Our family of 4 (along with our dogs) stayed at Tony's place while touring the U.P. during Spring Break. The space/location was perfect for us! Tony supplied so many essentials that made you feel right at home. He left info. about the items in the home (furniture, pictures, etc.) that made the stay truly a special visit!
