Summary: Our stay was wonderful. The house was exactly how it was described and pictured. Our family enjoyed everything about Waterford and Detroit. We enjoyed fishing off the Pier at night and caught mainly bass. We even used the kayak and paddleboards provided. The only downfall of the trip was the Geese. They typically showed up when we left for the day and the yard was usually a mess when we came back. But we found the pooper scooper in the shed and cleaned it up. Not much you can do about that and I understand that. But it was annoying. Would I come back again? Yes.
