I really enjoyed my time at the cabin. I felt like I stepped back into my childhood with the decor and the style of the cabin. The hammock was a huge part of my time when I was there. My husband also loved the place. He enjoyed walking our two dogs along the gorgeous shoreline. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This house is spacious and full of light, thanks to the nearly floor to ceiling windows facing Lake Michigan, which is just feet away. It was super clean - not a single bug, spider web, or even speck of sand anywhere. Lots of comfy furniture including the beds. The host was quick to respond to our question about the wood burning stove. It’s a 10 out of 10 rental!
With steaming coffee mugs in hand, we enjoyed sunrises like this over Lake Michigan from the front deck.

Perfect getaway. Quiet with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Beach was great for walking and listening to the waves crashing on the shoreline. The view from the cove room was breathtaking. The kitchen was fully equipped. Beds were comfy. We only had one issue with tv access. Called the property manager and he sent someone to fix the issue within fifteen minutes. Would highly recommend!

The Clearing has become our beach front paradise, home away from home The perfect peaceful retreat! The cabin is welcoming, clean, and has the perfect layout for fun family game and meal time; as well as many inviting little niches for some space and alone time. The morning sunrise view is stunning, and there is plenty of beach front to enjoy walks and fun in the sun. The wooded surroundings are beautiful, and offer plenty of privacy, without feeling completely secluded.This was our fourth week-long visit to the Clearing and we will definitely be back!

This was our 3rd summer stay at the property and I feel like it just keeps getting better. Quiet, secluded, beautiful view and easy (now) / excellent beach access. One of our favorite beach stays that now feels like home away from home.
