    Temps were a little chillier, but the bonfire pit kept us warm outside. Great sleeping areas and close to everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

    Nice to stay in a wooded area with fenced yard for our pet. Spacious and comfortable bedroom and living areas. Nice deck overlooking the yard. Short walk to the stairs leading to the beach.

    This property is not on Lake Michigan. It is about a 10 minute walk to a beach on Lake Michigan

    Stephanie was a responsive host and allowed an early check in. The house is nice, but the beach is about a half a mile away. Beach towels are provided! We stayed for 4 nights. If staying for longer we would have needed to bring our own paper towels, trash bags and toilet paper. There is a gas and charcoal grill. However, if you plan to use the gas grill there is NOT a propane tank provided so make sure you bring one!!! We did not find this out until after we arrived and the host does not provide one. We were a little disappointed because all of our meals were going to be cooked on the grill. Instead we bought a bag of charcoal. The dunes are about a 10 minute drive and a fun activity. We had a good time, but wish that the description of the house details would have been more clear.

    We enjoyed a week in the Mears/Pentwater area! Lots to do including wineries, pontoon boat rental and visiting Ludington for the first time... not to mention very close access to a pristine Lake Michigan beach... The house was well stocked with kitchen items for home cooking - great appliances and even storage containers for leftovers! Beds were comfortable if you like a firm mattress, but not a lot of privacy in the loft area. Back yard is smaller than it looks in the photos and neighbors are near but not too close. Basement was fun for game playing when it rained! Host was very responsive and helpful - would certainly recommend for those who want a balance of time at the house and time out and about!

    The cottage was everything described. Clean with all the amenities we needed. Close to the dunes and the lake. FYI there are approximately 74 steps to the private beach area with a rest area in between flights. We caught a couple sunsets and our kids took a few sunset dips in the lake.
