Secluded dunes home w/private Lake Mich beach + 150 acres of forest -- dogs OK

It is wonderful place. We are thrilled to be able to stay there.

Highly recommend Windy Ridge if you’re looking for a secluded getaway! The home is tucked in the woods and the beach is huge and during the week I stayed I only saw 3 people, which is exactly the trip I was hoping for! Also Marty was super helpful and communicative, major bonus!

Great location and nice house, will definitely stay there again!

We had a fantastic stay. The house, location, lake access, and lane front were exactly as described and perfect for our group. I hope we can make it back in the future.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Windy Ridge. The house has tons of room but we spent most of our time either at the beach or on the screen porch. We loved that we could be outside to eat or play games or just read a book and not have to worry about pesky bugs. Our hosts were easy to contact when we had a question about the grill and were very helpful in providing us directions to a hiking spot nearby I was particularly interested in finding. The owners do a great job describing the property so pay attention to the advice about making your way to the beach. There are steps involved that we could manage ourselves but could be tricky for older folks or small kiddos. But once you’re at the beach, you won’t want to leave. And the sunsets…breathtaking.

The property is amazing! Beautiful setting! A short peaceful walk through the woods to the beach. We enjoyed the tranquility of it all!

We were looking for a beach getaway without the craziness of crowds, reserving chairs, worrying about taking up too much space, etc. We wanted to be able to focus on just our family. That’s exactly what we got at Windy Ridge. If our kids were being loud in the back porch? whatever. They want to build a driftwood fort in the middle of the beach? go for it! The screened in porch is absolutely a highlight of the property, as is Marty’s open sharing of all that is available. We like to cook and having all of the spices and oils there as well as any cookware we needed was such a blessing. It really had all of the elements of privacy that you have to pay a premium for at a ‘resort’ location. The house, the woods, the beach. Loved it. My kids left asking how soon we could be back.

We really enjoyed staying at Windy Ridge. It was perfect, very relaxing, secluded, great screened in porch. We were able to bring our dogs who loved running on the private beach. We would definitely stay again.

The location cannot be beat for woodsy surroundings. It has a fabulous large screened in porch on which you feel like you are in a forest. We could hear but not see the lake just as the listing described. The bedrooms on the main floor are a bit musty but airing and air fresheners helped. Well equipped kitchen and any game you would want. Quiet, secluded spot, which we would love to see when the colors change.

Marty & his wife were AMAZING hosts. The property is like a tree house and we spent 80% of our time in the house in the screened in porch. Few mosquitoes & spiders, but nothing that a little citronella candles couldn’t handle. Suuuuper peaceful & quiet. Relaxing. Beach was AMAZING. Private-I could’ve been topless the whole time!! (Literally saw 2 people in 5 days.) the house is stocked with literally EVERYTHING you could possibly need-the only thing we bought was bottled water & charcoal & we brought our own toiletries. Marty was super kind and never intrusive with his communication!! Had a relaxing, amazing time !!
