Siblings and 88 year old mother stayed at house.Had planned to help mother climb the staircase to where she could enjoy lakefront from deck. What a pleasant surprise to discover that there is just one step from parking area to upstairs living space!Siblings and I enjoyed the gorgeous view of lake, hot tub, wading out to sandbars, and a fire on the beach.Would love to come back again next year!

Breathtaking view of Lake Michigan the moment you walk thru the door! The home was clean, well maintained, neat and organized. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s place instead of a stranger’s house. There were plenty of activities to do for all ages, or you could just sit and relax and take in all the beauty. We definitely plan to return!!

Wonderful home for a vacation at the beach. The host has thought of everything. My family spent the majority of time outdoors. With three hammocks, a hot tub, fire pits in the yard and at the beach, a swim platform, and beach toys, we were well occupied! The awning of the deck was perfect for relaxing under on the comfy outdoor couch and chairs. The flattop grill was a huge hit and we made most of our meals on it.

Wonderful Property & Location

We had such a great week at this beautiful house!! We've stayed at several rentals right on Lake Michigan before, and this was by far the best for easy access to & views of the beach from the house which was great for us traveling with small kids and older parents. Tons of beach space!! The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Whitehall was a quick drive from the house and had several great food options! Loved seeing all the deer every night on our drives back from dinner! Would absolutely stay here again!!

Sweet Retreat

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! This cottage was in a beautiful location, peaceful, relaxing, and it felt like home - our every need was provided for. After 4 nights of staying here it was difficult to leave. When I asked my daughter if we should make this place an annual tradition she said, "how about once a month!" We are so appreciative for the chance to have stayed here, and we would love to someday make a trip back!!!!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

Our family had an amazing stay at this beautiful Michigan beach house! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The layout was perfect for our group, with plenty of space to relax, cook meals, and enjoy time together.The highlight, of course, was the location—just steps from the beach with stunning views, peaceful surroundings, and easy access for swimming and sunset walks. We also loved the outdoor seating area and fire pit, which made for cozy nights under the stars.The hosts were kind, responsive, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
