A private ranch home on Lake Michigan with stunning sunrise views.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here before and it is our preferred rental in this area. It is not huge or fancy, but it is pleasant, clean, and comfortable for three adults (who don't mind sharing a bathroom). The setting is fabulous, the neighbors are quiet and the sunrises over the lake are worth waking up for.

Beautiful location. Comfortable home and beds. Cool to see the artwork from the former owner. Would have been great to know there was no coffee avail - even a starter pack. Otherwise EXACTLY what we were hoping for. Thanks!

Amazing location right on Lake Michigan; private, quiet, and perfect for dog walks and swimming. Close enough to town and fun day trips, and equipped with everything you'd need for your stay. The sunroom/porch was our favorite spot with unbeatable views. The host was responsive, accommodating and easy to work with.The outside is a bit overgrown and the beds were very uncomfortable, but overall we had a great stay. With new beds this would be a 5/5 stars.

The location of this property is very beautiful and private with spectacular views of Lake Michigan! Close to all the main attractions, Grand Traverse Light House, Christmas Cove Beach, Leelenau State Park etc. right on Lake Michigan. The cottage itself needs some TLC. On arrival the home had a very musty old smell. It looked clean on first glance however it really needs a deep clean. Tons of bugs in corners and carpets are super old and very stained. With a fresh coat of paint, hard floors throughout, updated beds/furniture and a deep clean it would be much better. The outside needs some major landscaping. Tons and weeds and overgrown brush hosted tons of mosquitos and bugs. I was very disappointed that during our stay they had the lawn scheduled to be mowed which I felt was kind of rude considering what we paid to stay there. Also the lawn person sprayed tons of herbicide/round up on an overgrowth of weeds right next to the front door which is where our dogs came in and out to go to the bathroom. That stuff is poison and we don’t even use it at our own home. It made no sense given the fact that around the entire home there are tons of unkempt weeds and brush, I really did not understand that. When she was done it didn’t look any different so what was the point.From the pictures it looked like a nice sandy beach front but in fact it is all rocks and broken shells which absolutely kill your feet to walk on, it is not really a swimmable area. Unfortunately we will not return.

Great place!

We had a great time a family. We loved that the water was only a few steps away. We also enjoyed visting the state park up the road and the beautiful town of Northport.

Enjoyed the beautiful, secluded property on Lake Michigan, especially the spectacular sunrise views.

The place made me feel like a child again at my grandma’s. Older home filled with love. Nothing fancy, just a normal simplistic place. The coffee maker didn’t work and the company replaced it within hours. My negatives? The master bedroom next to the bathroom really could use a new mattress. The exterior really needed some love too. You could tell it was a purchase and flip to rent out place which made me sad to be honest considering the love the original owner had. Please note the fireplace is non operational due to them running pipe through the chimney.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location; beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Close to gorgeous Christmas Cove, Lighthouse, hiking trails and charming Northport. The house was not very clean - windows full of dead bugs, spider webs - could have easily been vacuumed. Appreciate effort to keep fruit flies under control but the glasses of dead fruit flies everywhere should have been emptied before our arrival. Coffee maker doesn't work - major concern; I saw previous renters mentioned this and not resolved by our stay. Dryer doesn't work; same, mentioned by previous reviewer. Larger beds would increase comfort. I realize deeply wooded area but grounds were very overgrown and unkept. With a little effort this could be an ideal vacation home.
