The house was even better than advertised! Incredible 180 degree lake views and comfortable home. What wasn’t mentioned in the property description were the luxury beds, bedding and bath towels. Wonderful few days on Lake Michigan with great temps and beautiful sunsets! Look forward to coming back.

This was the perfect cottage for our getaway. The house is just a 30 step, very stable stairway down to a nice beach and the lake. The cottage was clean, well stocked for cooking, and cozy. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the crashing waves. Mercedes was a very communicative host!

What a treat! View of Lake Michigan was magnificent! A definite ‘WOW’ when we walked in! House was as pictured; great spaces, beautifully decorated, homey, well equipped, and comfortable! The back deck, beach and lake short was excellent! Beautiful safe deck with seating, very sturdy stair way, and sugar sand beach. Lake front had a very gradual slope allowing us to do recreational activities…frisbee, swim, floats, etc. Area is nice! We spent time in Arcadia, Frankfort, LeeLand, and Traverse City! Many wineries, distilleries, trails, parks, shopping, etc. in the area! The hosts were quick to respond to the few questions we had! Also supplied us with some of their favorite activities, eateries, wineries, and trails in the area! We had a wonderful time! Thank you Mercedes and Peter!

Perfect Beachfront Getaway

Listening to waves rolling up on the back porch of this cozy home is just what the doctor ordered. Charming town 10 mins away provided a perfect 3-day weekend break from work. And the golf… oh the golf just miles away is spectacular.

Weekend Birthday Get Away

This place was amazing! I was looking for a quiet relaxing place to decompress from my hectic life. The waves calmed my soul and lulled me to sleep each night. Walking the beach was so peaceful and quiet. I will definitely be staying here again! How itself was so nice, loved the large living room windows where I could watch the sunset and moon set over the water.

Quiet weekend

Enjoyed a quiet weekend away with my partner. He liked to close proximity to the bike trail, I like the comfortable couch to work on my crochet project. The views are stunning. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meals. The bedroom was lovely with the seating in the window (again, stunning views). A home!

Wonderful getaway- beautiful views- fall asleep listening to lake michigan

Would highly recommend- beautiful views from every room and deck. Love listening to the waves of Lake Michigan. House super cute with very comfortable beds and so well stocked. I love the personal touch of adding a local bottle of wine and also that they have more than the basic stashes of things you want when you stay at a VRBO. Definitely want to come back again and hosts were so communicative and gave great recommendations.

Awesome house!!

We had a great time celebrating our Mom’s 80th birthday. House was very well furnished and great space to rest, relax, play games, enjoy the fireplace on cool winter weekend and just watch Lake Michigan and take in the view. Incredible sunsets. Highly recommend this home. Had everything we needed and more.

Dream on the Shore of Lake Michigan

They home was perfect for a relaxing stay with family. Our hosts shared great information on options in area. Left games and all that is critical to relax and stayed in close touch with experience. So close to great golf you must play and perhaps one of the best Italian meals we have had in Michigan. Oh and most importantly the lake at your doorstep. Lovely & Grateful

Beautiful!

The home is beautiful and comfortable with amazing views of Lake Michigan. We watched sunsets over the water every night, enjoying the deck and stairs to sandy beach. Had a wonderful fire when it was chilly and opened windows to the breeze when it was warm. The owners responded immediately when we had questions and were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place for a fabulous stay!
