The cabin is always immaculate when we arrive with everything we need. This year, having the drive, the parking area and the walkway up to the cabin freshly plowed and shoveled was so nice. The chocolates were a great touch also!

We had a fantastic stay at the cabin. It is super comfortable and equipped with everything a family could possibly need. It would be especially great for younger kids. My teens were a bit disappointed that the wifi didn't work, but we had a wonderful time anyway. The restaurant across the street has really good food. The kitchen is well equipped for making full meals as well. I'd highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway!

What a wonderful week! We couldn’t have picked a my beautiful place for our stay — the cabin is even better than we imagined. It was so nice to wake up to the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan from our backyard. We all enjoyed the kayaks and fire pits. We’re all glowing from the great time and can’t wait to do it again!

An awesome cottage in a beautiful setting, my daughters are already talking about going back next year.It sits back a driveway thru the woods and sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. There are a lot of steps which would be tough for anyone with mobility issues. However the climb is worth it, we had a fire on the beach and watched a beautiful sunset.The cabin which is around 75 years old, but the age just adds to the aura of the place. A bonus is a short walk to a very nice restaurant/bar.

So relaxing!

Weather was chilly at first, but last couple days were excellent! Had a fire every night and one on beach last night there. Beach area is so nice and my 1-year-old grandson enjoyed playing in the sand. We used the kayaks also. House was well stocked and beds were all comfortable. Would highly recommend! 69 steps to beach.
