We had a little trouble getting in but it was resolved. The house was nice and the view was great. The weather was a little uncooperative but nature is in control of that. The water was way to cold to swim in but it does look like a beach. The communication with the host was good. We had a good time hanging with family.

Amazing Lake Michigan get away!

Really enjoyed our stay. Beach was amazing and the home was clean and sized perfectly for our family. We were contacted a few days before telling us that the unit was available for early check in which allowed a couple “extra” hours of beach time. Overall a great place to stay, we loved it!

Peaceful Getaway

The property is gorgeous and has everything you could need for a great vacation. The place is a bit hard to find and definitely off the beaten path, but it makes for a the most private and peaceful getaway you could ask for. I’d send any of my friends/family here.

Weekend Getaway

Group of 10 of us came up to get away for the weekend and this place was perfect!! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The beach and views were amazing. We enjoyed playing catch in the sand and having a campfire up top. Very secluded and quiet with little cell service, which is what was needed! Looking forward to coming back.

Beautiful house, just as pictured. Wonderful beach, on a bluff, so yes, stair access to beach, but very sturdy stairs, landings to stop at, and very doable! The beach was AMAZING. Responsive host. Plenty of space to spread out! Fire pit area was so perfect and fun for kids and adults. Great view from this spot. House temperature was comfortable with windows open and fans on. Wonderful Michigan stay!

This was our 2nd stay at this property and it was again just perfect. The home was clean and well taken care of. The Owner actually check-in on us during our stay to make sure everything was going ok which was really appreciated!We absolutely love this property. We are able to bring our whole family together here which we don't get to do often, so we wanted to make sure there aren't distractions or things that cause issues. And our stay was great. Loved the beach access and the home was big enough for us to gather and enjoy our time together. Made some great memories. So thankful we found this property!

Thanks for the memories

Three generations of our family greatly enjoyed our annual long weekend celebrating double birthdays. The well-equipped house, the quiet, wooded setting and fantastic beach were perfect for our memorable time together. The neighborhood eagles were a delightful bonus as together we cooked, laughed, walked the beach and swam in the healing waters of Lake Michigan.

The hosts are exceptionally responsive. The home was not too notch clean. The hosts responded with an offer to send a cleaner. The location is very nice. The furniture leaves a bit to be desired, not the most comfortable.
