    We loved our week at the house. The deck view is amazing. We enjoyed the beach during the day with swimming and beach fires at night. Being so close to the pier was a real plus for the guys to fish and kids to jump off of and swim! The house met all of our needs with plenty of space to spread out.

    We stayed for a week with 9 adults and three small children. The house was nicely laid out to accommodate us with plenty of room in the dining room or on the porch to eat together. There are sand dunes in front of the house which the kids loved to play on and you could walk across them to get to the beach or take an easier walk on the road. Either way it was very close and convenient. The view from the living room was beautiful and you could see the lake! We took day trips to go kayaking on Pine River, visit Ludington State Park and visit Sleeping Bear Dunes. All were around an easy drive within a hour. The kitchen was very well equipped (better than anywhere else I’ve stayed) which was nice since we cooked most of our meals at the house and ate together. We would definitely stay again if we do another big family trip to the area! They also had lots of puzzles, books and games for a day inside. The property manager was super responsive and checked in before, during and after our visit.

    Our group of 15, multi-generational, had a great trip. No complaints, no issues, house was big and had plenty of space for grandparents, couples, and teenagers. The home has the best beach access anywhere in Onekama. Could see Portage Lake behind us and amazing view of Lake Michigan.

    The house was fantastic and just as advertised. It was an easy walk to Lake Michigan and Portage Lake. The deck was an amazing place for dining and watching the sunset. There was plenty of room for everyone. The whole family had a great time.
