Dock & Yard Games: Lakefront Michigan Getaway!

This is home and property is beautiful. Our family of 12 visited to celebrate our 40th anniversary. This was the perfect place to all be together. There was plenty of room for everyone. We have never stayed in a home that was so well stocked. There is truly every possible pan, bowl, and kitchen appliance you could need.

Excellent host, offing information on all aspects that you could possibly need! The house was really well equipped and appointed. It was beautifully decorated and had a cosy but modern feel.

The house was beautiful! The description and photos are 100% accurate. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed. All three full bathrooms have wonderful walk-in showers. Having a 2nd full kitchen on the lower lever was super handy! The beds were all very comfortable.Jodi the host was super helpful and communication was excellent!!!We especially enjoyed the lakeside fires with 10 comfortable chairs.The upper deck and lower patio have very comfortable furniture and provide wonderful outdoor gathering space.We hope to be back next year!!

House is well stocked and very comfortable

Great place for our 50th wedding anniversary celebration with our kids and grandkids. Upon arriving, the curb appeal was not that great...weedy front yard, portable dog kennel by front door, dirt driveway. But open the front door and it all changes! Beautiful interior that the pictures don't do justice. The outdoor space was awesome! The lake is a bit mucky, but didn't stop us from enjoying it with the kayaks and paddleboards provided. The owner was very responsive and checked to make sure all was ok. Overall, a great place.

Awesome place to stay! Owners were very attentive and responded quickly to emails and texts. Property has everything you need to just walk in and enjoy. So peaceful and quiet.

A week up north with our adult children and their families was exactly what we needed. We have lived throughout the country and overseas, but yet northern Michigan is a place we always come home to!!It was great to watch the little ones experience all the upnorth fun of swimming in the lake - sitting around camp fires in the sand - Fishing off the dock - building Sandcastles at Lake Michigan- paddling kayaks at the property - taking a day trip to sleeping bear dunes and shopping in Ludington!Your home is beautiful and has everything anyone could need - thank you for sharing it with us!A home you definitely want to come back to!!

This was the best place we’ve stayed. Two kitchens, plenty of room for 10 of us, all the amenities and supplies included, water toys. Two great decks. Everything’s in great condition. Responsive owners. Less than 30 minute drive to two larger cities and great Lake Michigan beaches.

Our first impression, as we pulled into the driveway, was a little lackluster. The front yard hadn’t been mowed, there was a garbage bag leaned up against the side of the garage, and a huge dog kennel was sitting outside the front door blocking the view to the front door. The garbage can itself sat out by the road, completely full when we arrived, and remained until the day before we left. We were limited to putting our garbage for 8 people in 2 black trash bags during our 5 night stay.The lake was fun and refreshing, but needs some attention. The mat to walk into the lake was completely covered with mud and debris. Most of the outside areas looked neglected, really. Being on vacation, we had to spend quite a bit of time cleaning the outdoor patio furniture, upstairs and down, scrubbed the grill and utensils before using it, and chopping wood just to use the fire pit.Once inside the property, we loved all the space and amenities. Cupboards were stocked like the owners had just left. We had a hard time finding room for the groceries we brought with us! Lastly, we were excited to have so many appliances to make coffee throughout the day, but it took a long time to brew a pot and had to start it 20-30 min. ahead of time. With eight of us, we drink multiple pots within a day. The bedrooms were comfortable and we really enjoyed birdwatching!If you’re looking for a place to accommodate a large group to hang out, fish, paddle boat, birdwatch, etc. in close proximity to Manistee and Ludington, this may be the place for you!

The property itself was an excellent choice for our family. Lots of room to move around. The only disappointment was the waterfront. It was disappointing but the owners did address the weedy bottom. It is a lovely home!

Our stay was perfect! This place had everything you could possibly need and more. A home away from home so comfortable and relaxing. Jody is amazing !!! She goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and carefree She is always available and responsive. I would highly recommend staying here! We will be definitely be back for another stay. Thank you Jody for sharing your beautiful home with us.
