Good to know you had a good family vacation and that you enjoyed the Josie and location. Isn’t it great to be able to walk to town and not worry about a parking space! Thanks for staying with us!
House is comfortable, but needs some update, windows, outside stairs, deck, TV room. Kitchen well stocked, two outside grills, one charcoal. Bedding could be improved. TV room, sleeps 4, preferably children. Property manager very helpful.

From the Owner: "Thank you for staying with us, Eileen—we really appreciate your feedback. Like every home, ours is a work in progress, and we’re always looking for ways to improve. The TV room is primarily set up as a space to relax, watch TV, and play games. Sleeping in that area is intended mostly as overflow, with kids in mind."
Lovely house and setting. My only request would be to have some light blankets in the bedroom - it was way too warm for the nice comforters, but we needed more than a sheet. I know that the number of stairs has been mentioned before, but please take this caution under advisement. From the garage you go up about 6 steps to the ground level, from there another six (or so) steps to the first bedroom and bathroom, more steps (about 8?) to the main floor (2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room), about 5 more steps to the lovely kitchen/dining area, and - finally about 6 more steps to the loft, 2 bedrooms (1 small without a door), and a bathroom. The house is beautiful, but i am awfully glad I had grandchildren there to carry stuff up all of those stairs!

We were so happy to have you as our guest. Thank you for sharing your experience at the Jefferson house and appreciate that you found the house and setting lovely. Indeed, when you are not using stairs all the time you can get a work out at the house. As has been
mentioned before, the bonus is the privacy each bedroom has on each separate floor. Regarding blankets, they are kept separately in each bedroom closet. We just recently removed them off the beds for summer but always welcome guests to use what is supplied in the house.
Wonderful location, in walking distance to beach and downtown. Loved the surrounding woods with foxes playing nearby. Large living room and kitchen that made an enjoyable family gathering possible. Nice bathrooms also. Several doors wouldn’t lock easily or at all. Property could use some TLC

From the Owner: "We are happy you enjoyed the Jefferson house. It is so pleasant to sit outside in all the nature that surrounds the house.
We are sorry about the doorknobs. We will check them out and repair accordingly. Thank you for being our guest."
We stayed over Christmas for a couple days. The house was great, perfect for our group of 9. Lots of steps to keep in mind, but wasn’t an issue at all for our group. We also loved being able to easily walk into downtown Sutton’s Bay.

From the Owner: "We are pleased we could welcome you to our home for your Christmas holiday and that it was a perfect fit for your group. It is pretty cool to be able to walk to the village and enjoy shopping, dining, or drinks and not have to worry about driving. Thanks so much for being our guest."
