Other Details to Note
Dune Ranch is an experience off the beaten path, which means you may experience wildlife. The home is treated for critters on a regular basis but as you may expect living on a dune surrounded by nature, bugs and mice are sometimes spotted. We do not refund for animal sightings, but we don't charge more either! Cell phone service may be spotty at the home but it is equipped with excellent wifi service. Cell phones may be switched to wifi calling and will continue to be functional in the home. Dune Ranch is located on a dirt road. This is maintained by the HOA and plowed during the winter months. Be aware the road will be bumpy, but it does not require 4-wheel drive to access the home. This home is a Michigan cabin. Though we have air conditioning, please be aware that the basement can get cool in the summer when it is running. Extra blankets are provided for comfort, but turning off the air conditioning during cooler days will help regulate the basement temperatures. Please note - basement bedrooms are nonconforming as they do not have an egress window.
