We really enjoyed our stay at Sleeping Bear Hemma! The house is beautiful, comfortable, clean and it had everything we needed. The sauna and heated floors were awesome during a cold winter weekend!

We went up as two families, eager to be close to some skiing and peacefulness. This place exceeded our expectations. From the lovely view, peaceful surroundings, and amazing amenities, we found ourselves able to relax and connect. Some of our favorite things about this place was the winter-wonderland view from the main room, the radiant heating in the floor, the kitchen supplies, and the design of the house (bedrooms and bathroom off of the main hallway and the living room/space/kitchen at the end. The garage could easily fit a truck and a SUV with a topper as well which was nice in the winter. All in all, while we were here in the winter, we could all easily imagine it being just as lovely in the summer and look forward to staying here again!
