Step outside and be surrounded by rhe the sweet lavendar breeze from Cherry Point Farms. Hear the screech owl call out in the night while the fireflies dance. Let your dogs run off leash for the first time in their lives. Drive 10 minutes and climb a historic lighthouse and walk the pristine sandy shoreline. Soak in a Himalayan salt bath at Lotus Wellness Sudio in Mears. Treat yourself to the best ice cream at Country Dairy. Kayak down the serene White River and see turtles, water fowel, and fish. Climb the Silver Lake Sand Dunes if you dare. Eat fresh Michigan grown produce and feed your body and soul while you visit Shelby Michigan. The Darby Shelby home had everything you could want and more.

Our stay was great! This home provided plenty of space, amenities such as towels, toilet paper, foldable lawn/beach chairs, two full kitchens, and beautiful land to explore. It was easy to check in and out. Host was always available via message through Vrbo and would answer questions within an hour. It was a great location 7-10 mins from all the sites, beaches and fun!

Fantastic family and friends vacation!

We loved the space and privacy of this vacation rental. It had all the necessities for a week long stay. We spent most of our time a short drive away at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. The only thing I would suggest is privacy curtains for the “kids bedroom” as we had an adult couple staying in that space.

That is such a great idea about the privacy curtains, I can’t believe we haven’t thought of that! So glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for the suggestion!

Relaxing in nature

We have stayed here twice along with our dog. It is very peaceful and quiet. Surrounded by trees and walking paths through the woods. The cabin is very welcoming and comfy. Our dog loves being able to run around unleashed for a weekend!

This listing was absolutely phenomenal. The property grounds were very well kept and stocked with everything you might need for a fun stay. The garage was equipped with yard games and activities, a foosball table, and a ping pong table. The lookout was even better in person and the perfect spot for a fire. We brought a dog, and she loved the space. If you’re nervous about your animal being off leash, there is a fenced in area for your pet along with some toys. The first and second floors had a full kitchen, dining and living area, bathroom, and laundry room. The balcony on the second floor was spacious and came with outside furniture while the downstairs porch also had some chairs and a table.The hosts were incredibly accommodating and on top of communication. They responded in a timely manner and passed along really helpful information that helped make the stay that much more enjoyable. Truly a wonderful experience!

Great experience!

We had a wonderful time at Darby’s place. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the property was amazing. We took a snowy walk, went sledding, and made s’mores at the fire pit. The dogs had a blast too! Darby was very kind and quick to respond to any questions we had. We’ll definitely visit again!
