    Such a great place to stay. Right on the water and about a mile from town. Centrally located near grocery store and anything else you will need. Would definitely stay here again.

    One of the better places we have stayed. Great view of the lake and private beach access. House was clean and well stocked.

    A+: Evening views, beach access, top flight kitchen supplies, cleanliness, media & books/games, access to town. B: ideal for separate families who want different wings of the house that are not connected. C: Beds are all pretty high up, which makes it tricky for toddlers sleeping alone in a room. We had two adults, a toddler and a newborn — and the way the rooms are arranged, we all slept in the same room. Overall a great stay. Warm, welcoming and we hope to be back!

    The house was great for our group, right on the beach and spacious enough for everyone. Very clean. The beds were a bit hard for our liking, but okay for the weekend. One of the toilets broke twice but we were able to fix. Also the kitchen faucet handle broke off easily but we were able to fix. The walk down to the beach was a little overgrown we thought it could have been cleaned up a bit.

    We had the best time at our ladies’ beach retreat weekend! The property is beautiful, the original older part of the home is charming, and the new addition matched the original house so well and added more space for gathering. We had seven adult travelers and everyone had their own bed. The furniture was very comfortable, and there were lots of thoughtful amenities provided. We caught an amazing sunset Friday night and watched the storms come in over Lake Michigan Saturday night from the covered back porch. The beach is just a few flights of steps down the dune, not bad at all compared to some Lake MI properties we’ve seen. Very private beach with beautiful view of the coastline. Thanks so much for a great weekend!

    Lovely home in nice neighborhood and on the lake. The house was as advertised and well maintained. The views are great and the sunset was spectacular. We’re planning on returning with more of our family.

    The embrace of century old trees and sound waves crashing on the beach make the house a cozy retreat for my family each fall. The old cottage winds back the clock to a simpler time, while the recent addition and upgrades make it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the extra space and views of Lake Michigan.

    Our group (6 adults, 2 young kids) had a great time during our stay at this property. The house was well appointed and comfortable to lounge in. The beach was clean and maintained. We would recommend this rental and plan to return next summer.
