I love the layout of the house in the woods. Very family friendly. We are thrilled you had a good time and please come again. There are trails behind the house to lead you to the local beach spots and so many good places to eat right by the location. Thanks again for staying with us.
We've been coming to the area for a few years now and love it. This house was perfect for our family of 6. Having three nice showers was great after long beach days. The loft area upstairs was great for the kids to play. Overall the house was clean and well stocked. They had beach chairs and umbrellas for us to use which was nice
this house fit our needs perfectly. There were seven adults and one baby. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our dinners and was well stocked. The screen porch was fabulous as was the fire pit. All the beds were comfortable. The walk to the beach was nice and relaxing complete with deer and other wildlife. We had a wonderful stay!
This lovely home is nestled in the woods for privacy, yet convenient to everything you could want or need. The owners have appointed their property with every possible comfort of home in a lovely rental. We enjoyed the various spaces for gathering indoors and out - especially the screened porch with its fireplace! This is our 3rd trip from MO to the Lake Michigan area and will now make a point to return to this property.
Lovely home with three gathering areas, living room, second floor loft, and screened porch. The kitchen was ultra equipped. Closest beach is about .7 miles and a nice walk from behind the home to the beach. Two larger beaches in 8 minute drive.
It was our second Ladies Weekend here. We enjoyed the fireplace on the screened in porch and exploring the area. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for coming back for your second Ladies Weekend with us, that truly means a lot! We’re so glad you enjoyed the screened-in porch fireplace again, it’s such a cozy spot, especially for relaxing and catching up.
It sounds like you made the most of the area too, which we love to hear! Thank you for the recommendation, and we’d absolutely love to host you for another visit!
