Some Quality Time
5/5 This property propelled us into a togetherness. The water with the beautiful sunsets, the bonfires, the walk to the beach to swim. The kids, ages 4 & 7 loved the bunk beds We would go back again.

Nice view of the lake
3/5 It was a nice clean cabin, recently redone. Lack of privacy, needs curtains or blinds facing the very close next door neighbors house. Was uncomfortable having the lights on in the house at night because of extreme visiblity from the outside looking into the house. The Neighbors are close enough to can hear them talk. View of the lake was amazing,

Beautiful View
5/5 This charming cottage was perfect for our long weekend vacation. The view was breathtaking and it almost felt like we were looking at an ocean.
The breeze was lovely and the sound of crashing waves was calming. The floor plan was laid out nicely based on the space and the neighbors were pleasant.
Thank you for allowing us to utilize your space for We are grateful!

Lakefront cottage
4/5 The view of the lake from the living room and patio was lovely. Definitely the best thing about the house and why we rented it. It was great for a relaxing stay.
Negatives: the screens on the windows had large holes and very dirty window sills, which was bad as there's no air conditioning. Also the cottage was a little musty smelling so we definitely wanted the windows open. The beach was a further walk than we realized, and too far to carry the kayaks. As we didn't have a truck that meant we weren't able to use them, which was disappointing as that was one of the things we were looking forward to (I mistakenly thought from the photos that we could put them in in front of the house). Also, the beach that was supposed to have private access was a state park, with a fence separating ATV's and dune buggies from the water. So unless you have a dune buggy, it wasn't a nice place to be. We were able to take a lovely long walk to the lighthouse, which got us away from the noise and bustle.

Relaxing weekend
5/5 We recently stayed here for a long weekend and enjoyed the cottage; looking out of the large windows to Lake Michigan - which is right there - was amazing. The cottage was quite comfortable and clean - the 5 of us had plenty of room.
