Great family getaway

The house was everything we were looking for: great proximity to things to do (beach on Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Dunes, restaurants, and shops), a wonderfully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and cozy shared spaces. We would absolutely stay here again if we’re ever in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was immaculate, quiet, and had plenty of room for our family. The home was well stocked with everything we needed (and more!), and the location was convenient to many of the area’s activities and attractions. We appreciated all the empty closet space to unpack and settle in. The front and back decks were delightful to sit and enjoy the flowers and birds. Linda was attentive and responsive to any questions we had. We happened to visit during an unusually hot spell, so it was warmer than we expected since the house does not have air conditioning. Under normal weather conditions, I don’t think this would be much of an issue, but it’s something future guests may want to be aware of if they’re visiting during the hottest part of the summer.Overall, this is a fantastic property, and we would gladly stay here again.

Wonderful house, great location

We’ve been visiting the area for the last four years and this is our favorite place that we’ve stayed. Great location, really close to the dunes and to Glen Arbor. It was a perfect place for our weekend getaway.

Wonderful home to spend a weekend or longer. Well appointed kitchen.

My family and I so enjoyed our stay at this home. First time in the area and definitely going to return in the not too distant future. We especially loved the deck in the backyard and the front porch.

Wonderful stay!

A very charming and well stocked home. It is located near many local attractions. The home has very nice outdoor areas - on the large front porch and in the large back year. We enjoyed the home immensely.
