This is a beautiful place. The interior layout inspires tranquility, and the exterior is even better. The stairs down to the beach look intimidating but aren't a bad climb, and the beach is absolutely phenomenal. We'll definitely be back sometime.

We loved bringing our dog with us to this property. The check in process was seamless and the host was very responsive even after hours. The property was a bit outdated but the lake view was spectacular. The property listing was accurate. For the price, this was a good trip.

I've stayed here many times in the past. It was very clean and tidy. Had everything I needed. Peaceful and quiet. I need to cook, so am always happy to stay where the kitchen is fully equipped. The beach is 34 steps down, but when you get there it's always a WOW moment. I love it there.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at this cozy spot on Lake Michigan! The property was comfortable and had all the essentials we needed. The views were stunning, and we were thrilled to witness the northern lights, a comet, and even a halo moon, (which we’ve never seen before)! The lake and fall colors added so much beauty to the experience. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of northern Michigan. We’d definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thoroughly enjoyed our end of summer stay at the Dome. Perfect weather all week made for lots of time spent strolling the beach, making stone flowers in the sand, collecting fossilized rocks, and watching the beautiful sunsets and moonsets (super moon week). Couldn't believe how calm the lake was and how refreshing to get in the water. The cottage was so relaxing and had everything we needed to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Windows and screens are covered in spider webs and landscape debris, grass not cut, and access to beach is treacherous which is not mentioned in description. But home is clean and comfortable.

Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I had a perfectly wonderful week at Northern Lights cottage with our dog Lady. The weather was very summerish for early October and we had the beach all to ourselves on several occassions. Wonderful walks on the beach down to Cat head point, nice quiet afternoons sitting on the dunes overlooking the big beautiful lake and ever changing sky. A great place to recharge, clear the mind, and truly rest in a little piece of paradise.

A great getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our visit and the cottage location. The only negative it needed cleaning, Cobwebs on lamps, spiders in corners of all rooms(been there awhile), Most of the utensils and pans needed to be rewashed (i.e.,oil and food on pans,measuring cups,dishes etc. YUCK. The waste can in the kitchen was so gross-(Food in the bottom of it). Don't get me wrong our stay was great the uniqueness of the cottage was great. Just didn't like that I had to clean before we enjoyed tour stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 October 2020
Yes we agree dishes should be clean, corner should be vacuumed, lamps should be wiped down. A more thorough cleaning has been done.

Great Location, Challenging Hike to the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is older but in beautiful shape. Great view! Well equipped kitchen! Neighbors are close but very quiet. We would have loved if the windows and screens were clean; lots of webs and dead bugs 😕 inside and out. The carpeting is fairly grundgy. Hard surface flooring would be a perfect upgrade. BUT overall such a beautiful comfortable setting. FYI- the hike to the beach is challenging especially when carrying chairs, coolers, kids, dogs, etc. but once you’re there the beach is FABULOUS!
