Clean, comfortable and perfect for 3 people or 3 couples with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. So quiet and certainly the best thing about the place is the expansive lawn right on Lake Michigan with great views and sunsets.

Gorgeous view of Lake Michigan! This home is the complete package. Very well designed with 4 large doorwalls to view the water. Kitchen has a huge island as well as high end appliances. We enjoyed the covered porch and the quiet neighborhood.

My parents, husband, brother and sis in law came back to where we lived almost 30 years ago. House was great! Property manager was active with check in to make sure we were happy. And it was so quiet at night. Loved it!

Great private location! Love how the backyard extends to lookout over the lake that was private. Good working kitchen to cook our meals at home. Good location for us to do day trips out for hiking, kayaking, and biking with a drive between 0.5-1.5 hours. :) Great WiFi as the cellular reach may be limited in this location. Good working facilities including laundry. Check out Arcadia Inspiration, Ludington State Park, Manistee, and Traverse City to name a few! :) Thank you for a good visit!

The location is great! It in a private area that offers relaxation and wonderful views of the lake. The stars are a must see! I was skeptical about being able to view the milky way, but we definitely did! You can get to Manistee in ~20 minutes. Close to a lot of hiking. Very nice and very well-stocked.
Overall the home was clean, but we did have a couple of issues. Guest services were prompt to respond. Overall the trip was very enjoyable.

This property is beautiful and the view is as advertised - very beautiful. Pros include the view, separate bathrooms for each bedroom and the quality of appliances in the kitchen, We also felt there were a few cons - we found the bed in the primary bedroom to be uncomfortable, The shower in the primary bedroom is an odd design - one of those where there is no wall or shower door, (it is completely open) so you have to be very careful not to allow water to get outside the shower area, There were two things that needed attention when we arrived and we notified the management company - to their credit they resolved the issues quickly, The inside was very clean but the outside areas required us to do some sweeping, cleaning and considerable spiderweb removal so we could enjoy those areas better. We enjoyed our visit to the area overall.
