Charming 8 Bedroom Home And Coach House ~ Great for Summer Getaways!

Our 3 generation family spread out in this large home. We loved being close to lovely Lake Michigan. The coach house was beautiful & a huge plus to the property. As others have mentioned, a small refrigerator would make the coach house complete. The whole family enjoyed fun in the hot tub. The owner was responsive to several issues we had while renting. This home has tremendous potential if an investment was made into maintenance. The floors inside are uneven & had dangerous shards which we covered with rugs. The wood in many places on the exterior of the home is rotting & needs replacing. The air conditioning unfortunately did not work for 5 of our 7 days despite the owner making many efforts to get it repaired. It made for a very uncomfortable week in the high 80 degree temperatures. Ceiling fans in the home would be a huge help but box fans were available in most rooms. The outdoor screen room is great in milder temperatures & had a ceiling fan. Eventually the air was repaired on our last night in the home and it was way more comfortable. Most of the beds were comfortable with the exception of one that had wood slats that could be felt through the mattress. The ice maker did not work in the refrigerator. Despite the issue we encountered, the homeowner communicated well & gave a partial refund for the inconveniences. This historic home is lovely, but be prepared for quirks of an older home that has settled. Overall, our family had a great trip despite a few negatives!

We had a great time at the beach and the basketball court and hot tub were a huge it!

Weather was great really enjoyed our time here

Great place for family reunion!

Absolutely gorgeous house for my bachelorette party! Everyone was so comfortable and there was so much space for us to really relax and enjoy the weekend.

the home was lovely and worked well for our extended family vacation.

CONS: -Grass-not freshly cut, leading to many more mosquitoes around property -no accommodation for broken backboard; perhaps a portable basketball apparatus while being replaced; or at least offer some sort of credit or accommodation (eg. a meal coupon) since the basketball court is one of the highlights of the property according to description -bushes overgrown by back stairs -back porch table dirty -trash on ground around can when we arrived (we picked up) -home is definitely ‘settling’, as there are many spots throughout where you are ‘leaning’ when you walk; several spots in kitchen where nails are coming thru -no clear directions to private beach -requiring previous guests to wash towels for the next guests seems a bit unsanitary & is time-consuming -old TV; could possibly have a more updated tv for main living room PROS: -Very nice bathrooms, esp. in Coach House -beds comfortable, but mattress/pillow covers are needed -plenty of seating; inside & out -nice appliances -plenty of bath and beach towels -peaceful area -plenty of parking space -nice hottub -adequate cooking utensils (tho some are worn or broken) & pots/pans; a pasta strainer & modern can opener would be helpful -Coach House is lovely; perhaps a mini-fridge could be added so guests aren’t needing to go to main house for a late nite drink or fridge snack -Appreciate the property owners’ quick response to AC issue

This house was perfect for our large family. It has eight bedrooms and four and a half baths. The walk to the beach was very short and there was plenty of beach paraphernalia in the shed. There were plenty of tables and chairs and a well stocked kitchen. Joanne was very courteous in returning my texts and she even called me to make certain everything was to our liking.

Our favorite thing about this house was the less than 10 minute walk to the beach. We had 10 adults and 6 kids under the age of 7 and the house with coach house was big enough to accommodate our group with multiple big tables and gathering spaces. We walked to the beach every afternoon (except one that was rainy). The house is an older home and therefore the walls are thin and bedrooms on the smaller side so all middle of the night school age kid trips to the bathroom and early risers were hearable. We also had a few outlets that didn’t work, missed a few pans and such that weren’t stocked in the kitchen, and multiple sports balls provided weren’t inflated. But overall the accommodations met our needs and we had an amazing week spending time with family and soaking up some sun! Joanne was very communicative and made our stay wonderful.

It was very overwhelming to get all the towels washed before we left especially checking out by 11:00. We met family the night before and had to cut our visit short because of the towels. I think they should have the cleaning service to do the towels. Loved the beach
