We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return. The home was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable, with plenty of different spaces for everyone to spread out and relax.The outdoor area was a highlight—the pool and hot tub were fantastic, with plenty of privacy, and the location was hard to beat. It’s only about a four-minute walk to a beautiful soft-sand beach with gorgeous Lake Michigan views.The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making the house comfortable for guests. It had seemingly everything we could need, from blow dryers and chargers to step stools and other thoughtful touches throughout the home. The hosts were also very responsive anytime we had a question or needed anything.We happened to stay shortly after some significant storms in the area, and when the neighborhood lost power, the home’s backup generator automatically kicked on—an unexpected amenity that made a huge difference.Beautiful home, great location, excellent amenities, and thoughtful hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and wonderful review! It means so much to us, and to the owners, that you noticed all of the little details that have gone into making the home comfortable and welcoming for our guests. Hearing that those touches made a difference during your stay is especially appreciated. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the pool, hot tub, privacy, beautiful beach, and all of the different spaces the home offers for everyone to gather or spread out and relax. We’re also very glad the generator was there when you needed it! After the significant storms and unexpected power outage, it’s wonderful to know that it allowed your vacation to continue with minimal disruption. Most of all, thank you for your incredibly kind words about the home and our hospitality. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back for another Lake Michigan getaway!

We absolutely LOVED this house! It was so well-appointed, everything we needed was there (and more!) Three generations of our family stayed at this home and it was perfect for all of us- the kids loved the trampoline and the pool, mom loved lounging with a book or relaxing at the beautiful beach, grandparents loved enjoying their morning coffee on the screen porch. And we all loved the hot tub and the cozy bedrooms! Five stars, can’t wait to come again.

I’m not sure that words will do this home justice. We rented the Sycamore House with another family, so two couples and six kids total, ranging from 7 to 14 years old. This home is an oasis. Our two families have rented together for almost 10 years in Harbor Country. This was, by far, the best rental we’ve ever had. The home itself is extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Unlike other rentals, it is clearly lived in—in the very best sense of the word. Everything we needed was at our fingertips whether it was cups, plates, grill, tools, laundry detergent, even Ziploc bag bags, it was all right there. The beds were comfortable, and there were so many seating areas for everyone to sit in, we could all be together…or blissfully apart. Stepping outside, this house had everything. A gorgeous screened in porch, a comfortable outdoor couch where we drank our coffee every morning, a beautiful pool and hot tub, a gas fire pit where the adults enjoyed wine, a trampoline that our kids must’ve logged at least 20 hours on, an expansive yard, and a second wood-burning fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. And the yard has been very effectively treated for mosquitos. I’m not sure we would have ever left the house, if it weren’t for the great outdoors of Michigan waiting for us. The house is an easy walk to the beach, and there were even beach chairs for us to use. We would come back again and again to this home, it was perfect!
