We had an awesome weekend trip at the Lake House. We loved sitting in the hot tub and enjoyed how relaxing and peaceful it was. The view from the deck was amazing and great for our morning coffee. The private beach on Lake Michigan was a short walk from the house, we were able to walk down and enjoyed watching the waves and sunset. The home was very clean and well appointed, the beds were very comfy. Shelly and Marc were very communicative and made sure we settled in and didn’t have any questions. I hope we can return and stay again soon!

My wife, dog and I came here to get away from the big city for a few nights. Shelly was very welcoming and available for any questions. The house was clean and well equipped, and the hot tub was amazing after a winter hike at the dunes. The location suited our needs and we would definitely return.

Thank you so much for choosing the Lake House. We're glad you had a good time and enjoyed some of the amenities the home has to offer, particularly in the winter! Please keep us in mind for a warmer weather time when the swimming pool is open and you can enjoy Lake Michigan as well. Best regards, Shelly
This place was amazing for a winter get away! The hot tub was perfect and held the temp in the cold weather. It feels very homie in every room and very well redone. The individual heat in each room was a bonus for our group. The fireplace was perfect for the snowy weather. It was also very clean! Would stay again!

We had such a great stay. The place was super secluded and was a short walk to the beach. Beautiful view. The hot tub was great and easy to use. Kitchen had all the basics you’d need. About 5-15 min to any restaurants or downtown. Beds are also comfortable.

Thank you Elena. Beautiful pictures! Each season brings a new ambiance and enjoyment at the Lake House. We are tucked away for that liked privacy and yet minutes from all the action if one desires. Thanks again and keep us in mind for a future visit. Glad you had a great time! Best regards, Shelly
The hot tub was super clean. We enjoyed the fireplace all weekend. The house was very clean, and we loved walking down to the beach.

Thank you for staying at our Lake House. We are glad you enjoyed the amenities the property has to offer. The quiet location is a plus, yet if you want action, small towns are just a quick ten minute drive away. Thank you again and please keep us in mind for a return visit sometime! Best regards, Shelly
The rooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of storage for your luggage! We were able to very comfortably sleep 7 and greatly enjoyed the hot tub and porch area. Our kiddo LOVED the ping pong table and it was nice that there were two lounge areas for our larger group.

Thank you so much for staying at the Lake House. We are glad your group of 7 fit in comfortably and you enjoyed your time. So glad to have you back and glad you brought your family with! Enjoy the fall and hope to see you again! Best regards, Shelly
The home was clean and welcoming. Access to a private beach cove made our trip truly special. The hot tub and fire pit made for cozy, cool evenings. The Lake House was a perfect spot for two couples to relax and recharge. It was only a quick jaunt to some excellent restaurants and wineries. Shelly was an amazing hostess.

The home was one of the cleanest i have seen. They had music playing when it arrived, which made it so inviting. We enjoyed everything about the stay, the private beach was amazing, and communication with the owners was great! Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the pool!

Thank you Shelly and Mark for sharing your lake house with us. The house is very well maintained and nicely decorated. Hosts are friendly and informative. Neighborhood is quiet and situated back in the woods and close to the water. Area nearby has several great restaurants we enjoyed. Seasonal weather prohibited use of the in-ground pool.
