Breathtaking view of Lake Michigan the moment you walk thru the door! The home was clean, well maintained, neat and organized. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s place instead of a stranger’s house. There were plenty of activities to do for all ages, or you could just sit and relax and take in all the beauty. We definitely plan to return!!
