The lake view and access were both great. Communication with the renter was smooth and timely. My biggest wish was that there was a shovel or rake on the property, as there is a lot of seagull leavings on the beach that I would’ve liked to clean up before hanging out for the day. Would definitely rent again.

Awesome beach getaway

Everything about this property is great! So close to the beach, cozy, rustic atmosphere, tons is space for large gatherings. Only downside is the internet is very slow and there’s almost no cell reception for Verizon, but I’m staying at the beach to unplug, not stream movies, so it was great.

Perfect weekend escape

Nice lakeview house hidden under trees. It has everything for comfortable stay, clean and very nice looking. Big deck with grill and table and enought chairs to stay outside. Lots of parking. Stairs to the beach adds some fitness activies to that long weekend lazy time. And as usual lake Michigan is awesome. We will be back for sure!

Batchlors trip

Very clean property with Plenty of amenities. The fire pit by the beach was huge hit and just being able to go down to water whenever you want was excellent. We had a few people in our group go for a dip although the temperature of the water was quite cold so it was more of a polar plunge. Great way to wake up in the morning though. Only things that would have been nice additions would have been faster internet, and some shampoo and toilet paper. all in all it was an amazing stay and nice way to enjoy my brothers Batchlors party.

Family reunion

I appreciate an honest description! This home exceeded our expectations. The pictures were spot on and did not make the home look larger than it was. It might even be roomier! Good advice to bring fans even though our weather was perfect it was nice for sleeping. We loved the separate homes for our large family giving us plenty of room. The grill was the only thing that didn’t work.

One of the best views and location

My cousins and I had a great time last weekend. The property especially the backyard view was very beautiful. The only suggestion I have though is to make sure to disclose the dog fees and how many dogs they can bring on the listing and the agreement(s) we need to read and fill out after booking the property. Internet was slow as well, so don’t expect to watch videos uninterrupted. The heater was also not working in the living room, but the property manager sent someone to fix it right away. Overall, we had a great time and would love to come back especially if it is available for summer.

Spacious well maintained cabin with wonderful privacy!

The cabin was more spacious than the pictures showed for sure! There was plenty of room for our three families to spread out in the home and dine at tables. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes and glassware. There was only the basic sheets, one thin white towel and then cover blanket for the bed. It was chilly at night in the spring and it would have been nice to have more blankets. We only saw one fan, so I would pack more of those in the summer. The towels were bare minimum and we were glad we brought beach towels from home as well as a solid pile of dish towels to use. The steps to the beach were sturdy and cleared well, though plenty of poison ivy nearby on the bluff to watch for later in the summer. The grandparents have old knees but made the trek up all the flights many times with the sturdy hand rails and rest benches along the way. Beach was pretty quiet despite the neighboring public park. The place was as clean as you could expect for a dog friendly beach cabin. We washed some of the chair covers to brighten it up a touch. Wifi, cable and appliances worked nicely. No cell service on any of the carriers which was lovely!

Everything was very clean; however, it seemed the cottage had been closed up for awhile. The window wells for many windows were not wiped clean. It was a wonderful cabin overall and our friends had a wonderful time. Thank you. We would be happy to rent again! Thank you so much!

The location, right on a beautiful Lake Michigan beach, could not be beat. It was also nice to have two separate houses since we had two separate families on the vacation. Both houses had views of the lake. The kitchen and the bigger house which is closer to the lake was fully stocked with plenty of dishes and plates and pots and pans. The smaller house did not have enough plates or cups or bowls. The smaller house is very musty smelling. I’m not sure if we were the first ones to rent it in several months or if it just smells like that even if it’s closed up for a day or two. There was also a fly strip hanging from the ceiling that was pretty gross looking. One of the twin beds was not clean. The sheets were clean, but the comforter and pillow sham had bloody boogers smeared on them. However, we all agreed that it was the best rental we have had since we’ve been having this annual get together. The beach access and views and sound of the waves were amazing. There are definitely more pros than cons with this property.
