Great Place!

This is a great rental property. The house is well equipped and very close to the beach. The kids used the kayaks and paddled to the lake from their launch area across the street. The owners are responsive and easy to communicate with, five stars!

We had a wonderful stay! So comfortable. Lots of little bonuses beyond what we anticipated. Shampoo, conditioner & body wash in the showers. Kids loved the tetherball in the backyard and old-school, arcade-style video games in back bedroom! So fun. Foot rinse by the back door/hot tub. We used the grill, hot tub, campfire, washer/dryer, all kinds of things in the kitchen. As expected, if you have people taking long, hot showers or multiple showers in a row, you might run out of hot water for a bit. House is about 10 min walk to the lighthouse, or you can drive and park there if you get/have a state park pass. Creek was shallow but still fine for kayak/paddleboard; got a little higher after some rain while we stayed. Tiny little public beach area at the end of the creek (Golden Township), right down at the bend of the road. Can easily walk, kayak, or park down there; it’s so close. There’s a sandbar that kind of separates the end of the creek a bit from the Lake Michigan waters too which is a nice option for little ones to play in if Lake Michigan is scary at any point (there was a NWS beach hazard warning for 24 hrs during our stay). Unfortunately can’t walk along the beach from Golden Township to lighthouse as it’s private beach property in-between (although technically you could walk in the water of Lake Michigan down to the lighthouse and not be trespassing). Owner was accommodating and responsive to messages; we appreciated everything so much! Wish we could do every year!

Lots to offer

The rental is stocked with lots of things to do. We appreciated the beach supplies and games. It is close to the beach, but the beach access is small area where the river connects to Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the Lighthouse Beach down the street, definitely family friendly. Quick drive to Silver Lake. We enjoyed being close to everything but just far enough from the crowds.
