Wedding weekend

I booked this for a few friends and our family to stay after our Wedding in the woods at our property near by. It was perfect. I am thankful we could get it late in the season. We had a fall bon fire and even did a 9am “polar plunge” into Lake Michigan! Only feedback; the driveway is insanely steep and was difficult to find in the dark. Our truck struggled to make it up because we slid on the leaves (we had a backpack blower with us so we blew the driveway clean for the weekend - this is obviously a late season situation). I confused the checkout time thinking it was 11a but we left the place quickly and it was pretty much as clean as when we got it. Thank you for being flexible and helping to make my wedding weekend perfect!

Spectacular view of Lake Michigan

Lovely cottage right on Lake Michigan. We arrived just in time for a spectacular sunset! The house is nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. We had just 4 adults, and 6 would be just fine. The bunkhouse is over the detachd garage (just across a covered patio) and it would be great for older kids or a whole family, but not younger kids on their own. Even though our weather wasnt ideal, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Loved it.

Beautiful place. Sticking with the Ivanhoe theme we decided to name the place Rowena's dune. We be returning in a couple of years. Thanks Greg

Great Trip

This lake cottage was perfect for 2 families traveling for Labor Day weekend. We loved the private beach, morning coffee looking out over the lake, and campfires at night. The host was responsive. We would stay here again.

Beautiful house and beach

The house is lovely and has beautiful views of the lake. It feels like a home, not a rental in a good way. The kitchen is well equipped and the furniture is contemporary and comfortable. The beach is amazing! Overall everything was great. The only thing was the sheets and comforter on the beds need to be replaced. They felt old and worn.
