Great location; great grounds; great landlord

We stayed here for a long weekend visit. The cabin is spacious and clean. The grounds, access to the lake is perfect, especially if you have kids or a dog. There was a welcome bottle of wine in the kitchen and landlord is very hands off although he lives next door. We had a great time and would stay here again.

We had a wonderful weekend spent in the log cabin house! Enjoyed area, with great views and a beach down a long ramp type hill. Only a few issues I would mention to improve on, need a new coffee maker so it works properly and have a Wifi password that actually works. It would also be very helpful to have a list of items so to know what to do upon checkout.

Hi Laurie, I will get right onto the internet issue and replace the coffee maker immediately. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. We don't provide a list upon checkout as there really aren't chores we expect you to do apart from taking out the trash. I look forward to hearing from you for a future stay!

It was a joy to stay in this cozy log cabin. The three of us in our 70s and 80s enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, the nightly sunsets over the lake, and the deer visits. Our puppy felt welcome and at home. We took the sandy path to the beach one day, finding the steps at the bottom a challenge for us slightly feeble folks. I'm sure families would think nothing of scampering down to the sand. Our puppy loved it. This location is great for visits to South Haven, Holland, and Saugatuck. We came for a week of relaxation and enjoyed it immensely.

Amazing

Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Beautiful property! Beautiful views! Walk down to the beach area was perfect, cabin was cozy. Right off the interstate, but tucked away in the woods. Dog friendly was a must, so was grateful they were allowed so we had the opportunity to enjoy this piece of paradise!

Why they chose this property

Our Story....
begins every spring with the first of the guests that arrive after a seemingly long and gray winter season. We have always eagerly awaited the arrival of the families; some with children that can not wait to kick off shoes and run down the beach. There are the folks with the children being full grown and will enjoy a day or several - with them and the grandchildren, to enjoy the calming sound of Lake Michigan waves or the comfort of the country air to breathe. Certainly the wonderful friends that have returned year after year have become more like our extended family. Come and experience the calming effect of this cabin on the lake; you will experience the Lake Michigan shoreline like never before!
