Very comfortable and relaxing

It was just what we wanted to relax down by the beach. We wish that we had more time there. It is a rocky beach with many tiny shells.

Perfect spot for a quick getaway

I usually don’t write reviews or rent a house with no reviews but so glad I did. I was on a little solo trip, and couldn’t have been happier with this place, felt very cozy there. So much so I almost didn’t go hiking. It’s a great neighborhood and location. The deck is amazing I could have sat out there all day watching the eagles and listening to the waves. Wish I could have stayed another day.. Will definitely be back.

Sister retreat

Finally, for the first time, my Sister and I took the opportunity to have a vacation together- ALONE!! We chose Snug Life Cabin- and it did not disappoint! We loved everything about it! Being right next to the shore of Lake Michigan, we could always hear the waves crashing onto the shore, and facing East we could enjoy the sunrises, always different and beautiful. We enjoyed a long walk along the shore line seeing lots of birds and even Deer. It was quiet and peaceful. The Cabin was beautifully arranged and had everything we needed. The adorable Sauna was an added delight!! We had good communication with our helpful Hosts. Honestly, it was a perfect place for us to enjoy our 'Dream Vacation'!!

We loved the beautiful view of Lake Michigan. The unit itself was very clean. The Sauna was a great touch and we were able to grill some steaks one evening which we enjoyed. Everyone said they would be open to coming back someday in the future. Downsides was the holding tank being full, but that happens and it was addressed immediately and a pump was there the next morning. We could not get the fireplace to light in the living room, it wasn't needed but would have been a nice touch in the evenings. One of the people staying has a fireplace just like it but still no luck. Lastly we weren't impressed, if we are honest, with the "if its yellow let it mellow" signs. No one really wants to walk into the bathroom to that. Perhaps I would suggest a toilet flush valve that does two flushes liquids and solids. This would be a little more professional. But just some honest feedback. We loved it overall and would highly recommend it as a great place to stay!
