This was my fourth year in a row spending a long weekend at Sanctuary Shores. Absolutely love this place! The house is very clean and comfortable— the owners think of everything for their human & canine guests! — and the setting on the water is nothing short of absolute heaven. We love that it’s at the end of the dead-end road, so there’s no traffic. And being able to sit down by the water in solitude is definitely my favorite part! The perfect place for a quiet, relaxing vacation with no worries.

This stay provided us with a nice break from the real world. Close enough to Escanaba for some interaction with other people, but secluded enough to feel like you’re the only people for miles. We had a lovely time.

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Tori

Host profile image
We were born and raised on the shores of Lake Michigan. We love the stunning sun rises in the morning and the mirror like calm of early morning and the sometimes gentle lapping of water and other times crashing surf in the afternoons and evenings. The beauty of watching a storm sweep across the incredible blue waters is an amazing sight to behold. The cracking fire on the beach while the sun sets and sharing stories with friends and family bring peace and serenity. Sharing favorite memories while sitting around the stone hearth fireplace in the great room warms the soul and the bones.

Why they chose this property

This property creates a sense of sanctuary. It is quiet, peaceful and serene.

What makes this property unique
