    We had the best time at this spot! Easily fit all ten of us with the main level great for hanging out even while cooking. The best part was the proximity to Lake Michigan. While not directly on the water it sits up on a hill so it feels like you’re there. Maybe 60 feet from a lovely private beach where watching the sunset was the best I’ve ever seen. We even did a few nights just staring at the stars. The hosts were very responsive, when we got there the AC was struggling but they got a repair person out first thing and fixed it right away.I’m already planning my next trip back. Who needs the ocean with a setting like this!

    Beautiful home in a great location. A short walk and you are on the beach! The house has everything you will need and there are beach toys in the garage. Our family had a wonderful week!

    First off, it looks like you’re going to the middle of nowhere until you come around the corner and see the stunning view of the lake. It’s a private subdivision located on the side of Sand dunes. It’s in a heavily wooded area surrounding it. About a 15 minute drive to local stores like Walmart, or even McDonald’s. Easily accessible from the highway. The home itself came with all needed amenities, including a full use laundry room. It had three total bedrooms and an additional room that you could use as additional bedroom with a pullout couch. The driveway was rather steep and a little nerve-racking when trying to pull in and out of it. But it’s as expected as it was on the side of a Sand dune. Other than that, no complaints at all. Would definitely consider returning to this property specifically.

    We had a Friendsgving for 9 people. The house was a perfect fit and well stocked with utensils, place settings and pots/pans to accommodate the meal. The host was very responsive and had detailed instructions for checkin and check out. We will absolutely stay here again.

    House was beautiful….. view was beautiful!! Very windy but could still enjoy the view. Gorgeous beach. One of the best vrbo’s I've rented and ive been to many!!!! We will come back for sure. The only tricky part was the drive way. Very steep and hard to back down

    We had the best time at this lake house. Such a good layout for the kids and had all the amenities you'll need for the weekend! Beautiful balconies to watch the sunset :) Our hosts were extremely responsive for all of our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

    The home was very clean and looked just like the photos. The hardwood floors are beautiful. The kitchen was current and well supplied. The internet and tv worked. The beach and sand in the lake were as beautiful as any in the U.S. or the world. There was a lot to do in the area also.

    We loved our stay, this was our first time in 5 years breaking our tradition of going to Florida for the 4th! The property is actually bigger to me than in the photos! And just as nice! We loved the house and the room it had to offer! Between 2 families (4 adults, 4 girls 2.5-14yrs) we had plenty of room to get little ones to bed before others and no one was on top of each other getting ready. We LOVED the area, the beach, the woods, and the people in the neighborhood were so nice! I will say that if you are looking for something that is close to a town with plenty of dining options this may not be for you. It’s about 15 minutes to town and not a whole lot of options. That doesn’t mean that what is there isn’t amazing, because it was. Overall I can’t say anything bad about the property or the area! We had a great time and 10/10 would recommend and definitely would love to come back again!

    We had a great weekend stay here. House was set up well, very well thought out of things you may need(like beach towels, beach chair, kayak, ect). Easy access to get to beach and very private feel.
