What a wonderful place to stay! Great home. Great location. Great host. All the amenities of home but on vacation. Plenty of space and all the small details thought of from good knives, cooking pans, bakeware, grill, snacks, bottled water, comfy couches and games to play. We had an amazing weekend with our fanily.

Beautiful view

We had a wonderful long weekend trip. There was 10 of us and the rooms were all very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our cooking needs. Nice having St. Joe so close by. Communication with Heather and Lorn was excellent. My granddaughter wanted to live there forever.

Great House for All Ages

Our family stayed there and had kids from ages 8-15 and adults of all age ranges as well. The home was spacious enough for us all to be able to have our private time in mornings and open enough where we could all gather in the same room (most time spent on the back porch as it was a gorgeous weekend! When we were there they stairs to the beach were closed off due to some erosion, so that would be the only thing I would hope could get fixed.

Perfect place to host friends and family for a couple of weeks

We brought my wife's parents to Lake Michigan so that they could reconnect with friends and family. This place was ideal and the owners were more than accommodating to our needs. The house and backyard were even better than the pictures. We spent most of our time outside overlooking Lake Michigan. All the beds were comfortable, as was the living room furniture. We had everything we needed for a couple weeks of seeing friends and family. We are appreciative and hope to return in the future.

Big Backyard to Enjoy Breathtaking Views of Lake Michigan

Beautiful and spacious home with amazing view of Lake Michigan. We spent each night of 4 night stay watching the sunset over the lake. The home comfortable slept 6 adults and 4 children. Bonus was the swing set and slide for our active toddlers. We were able to utlized most of the ammenties such as grill and fire pit. We did not take advantage of sauna due to the kid ages but everything was well organized, practical and clean. The Jean Klock park is a quite drive/ few minutes away -easy beach access. The host shared a link to a ton of details of the home and nearby area prior to our arrival. Overall a great stay for our group of friends and kids.

Great house and view and responsive host

Lorn was very communicative throughout. He even called to respond to a VRBO message just to make sure I saw. The house was clean and everything functioned as described on the listing. There were 9 of us in the house, with 1 toddler, 1 preteen, and 1 teen. The multilevel layout and large backyard was perfect for our group, and noise was never an issue. A note that the Wi-Fi was solid and quick, with lots of us streaming and using phones at the same time. Highly recommended!

Perfect multi-family weekend

This was my first time using VRBO and I admit the bar is now set pretty high. Communication with the owner was fast, friendly and easy. We were supplied with all the answers to any question we might have right up front. The property is really amazing. We loved the size - able to sleep our crew of 13 but in such a spacious setting we never felt on top of each other. 3 levels gave everyone their space. There are even a three small balconies to find some private space to just sit and enjoy the view. We took full advantage of the grill and deck and fire pit. No time for sauna, so we'll have to come back! The location is great - just a few minutes from St. Joe and in between two great beaches. We really liked Hagar Park. This is the house for amazing sunsets. Every day was more beautiful. We wouldn't hesitate to rebook and stay here again, and again.

Would visit again

This property was in an ideal lakefront location with stunning views. Felt very private from the main road and neighbors, with more than enough space inside and out for my group of 15 to enjoy time together or apart. The house was super cozy and beds were comfy. Kitchen was well equipped, the yard set up was awesome. Easy communication with our hosts.
