Fantastic House

We truly enjoyed our stay and LOVED the huge deck! Beautiful lake views and plenty of outdoor seating including a really nice cushioned sectional and a large umbrella table for outdoor dining. The yard was a hit with the teens for outdoor games and fire ring. The great room has wonderful lake views and is very spacious with a large table for indoor dining and of course, euchre! The house has a really nice flow and accommodated our family beautifully. We couldn't have asked for a better house for our family holiday weekend in MI! Thank you!!

ABOUT THE OWNER

Monica started North Star Properties with one goal. To better serve the Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan Area with a concierge service mentality for short term rentals. From the North suburbs of Detroit she was bred to be in the real estate industry. Both of her parents were entrepreneurs. She watched as her father built Gauthier Corporation, a very successful construction company, which is still running as strong as ever. Her mother started a cleaning company that meticulously made sure every home shined like the top of the Chrysler building. Working for both of her parents growing up, she understands the drive and passion it takes to achieve success. Prior to starting North Star Properties, she sold real estate on the Northside of Chicago before moving to the Dunes and making a permanent home.
