Wonderful getaway- beautiful views- fall asleep listening to lake michigan

Would highly recommend- beautiful views from every room and deck. Love listening to the waves of Lake Michigan. House super cute with very comfortable beds and so well stocked. I love the personal touch of adding a local bottle of wine and also that they have more than the basic stashes of things you want when you stay at a VRBO. Definitely want to come back again and hosts were so communicative and gave great recommendations.

Awesome house!!

We had a great time celebrating our Mom’s 80th birthday. House was very well furnished and great space to rest, relax, play games, enjoy the fireplace on cool winter weekend and just watch Lake Michigan and take in the view. Incredible sunsets. Highly recommend this home. Had everything we needed and more.

Christmas gift to parents/sister

Heaven on earth is how I would describe this property! I brought my family here for a Christmas gift. Everything was perfect including the sun coming out for all 4 days after weeks of gray skies. Loved the beds, especially the single upstairs in bay window. The fireplace was relaxing and the views were priceless. We will be back !!
