Tranquility on the Lake

We had an incredible week filled with playing in the lake, viewing the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, bonfires, s’mores, and meals together outside. We had an incredible week of family bonding. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at this house as the owner was very responsive to any questions or challenges we had. For example the property listing noted that it had a hair dryer and we could not find one. The owner sent a new one the next day in the mail. The property is in great shape with high end finishes and a clear view of the lake from the 2nd and 3rd floor which both have screened in areas for viewing. Also the property owners provided all the outdoor items needed including beach chairs, towels, grill and fire pit equipment. Overall we enjoyed the place as the bedrooms are spacious and most of them have on suite bathrooms. While we give it a thumbs up overall a couple of quirks to note. The main floor is the 3rd floor so be prepared to walk some flights of stairs. This was only a concern for my mother who is 83 and has a bad knee. It just takes her a while to navigate stairs. The other quirk was that there is no useable closet or hanging rack in the main bedroom. I think it would be there but is locked off as an owners storage area. Aside from these unexpected quirks the property is great and we would rent again if the opportunity presents itself.

Wonderful home for our large family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom. There was plenty of space to get together or to lounge around and recharge alone. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay! The house was immaculate and well stocked with everything we needed. The beach access was so convenient, I can't imagine vacationing any other way.

Our family (8 adults and 4 kids) stayed for a week and really enjoyed our stay. Communication of any questions or issues was addressed quickly. The tram is the only way to get to the beach, the provided information made it easy to understand. Lovely house and quiet area.

Beautiful house and property, amazing sunsets and beach access. Would be nice to have code to staircase lock to beach, and more than 1 tram key for a large group. Great family vacation! Would highly recommended this property.

Lovely property with enough room for a large group. Views of the lake from the large porch were spectacular!

Well stocked clean lots of stairs No icemaker in freezer ice machine doesn't work Dead fles in hood lights

We really enjoyed the house - plenty of beds and bathrooms for the eight of us. House was pristine, well-appointed, and the owner was responsive. The top floor was great for my elderly parents since it had kitchen, bedroom, family room, and deck all on one floor. We also really liked the many places to lounge - two nice decks, a porch, and a nice backyard area with gas and charcoal grills. The garage had a lot of extras for the house and the beach. Definitely a better-appointed house than most we've stayed in. Also easy access to nearby towns for groceries, dinners, etc. The Lake Michigan beach is about two blocks away and requires a short tram ride down a steep bluff (or 148 stairs for those who don't mind the walk). It's a great spot - peaceful and pretty. Only caution is that the house is very vertical - lots of stairs to get in and move around. Same is true of the beach - even with the tram, there are steep steps to complete the journey down to the beach. So if you have elders who dislike stairs, just note this - getting our two elders in and out of the house took a bit of doing and we didn't take them to the private beach because of the tricky final stairs. We would definitely endorse this house and its owner and could see ourselves returning to it!

This house is beautiful, well maintained and big enough to give 3 families space when needed Living and dining rooms huge. Great kitchen. Porches perfect and played nightly games on 3rd floor screened in porch. Private beach was a bit rocky. South beach was great for family. Hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful. Be prepared to climb some steps! Overall a wonderful place to stay.
