Deer Meadow
We really enjoyed this home! Private, quiet, very clean and well maintained. Almost no insects but lots of deer in the adjacent prairie! Great communication with property manager. Highly recommend!

Beautiful respite close to Crystal Mtn
This property was a perfect getaway for a quiet, secluded stay with close access to Crystal Mountain. The hot tub and natural surroundings with sunset in the background were a perfect end to a day of skiing. Every detail seemed to have been considered and accommodated. We enjoyed the record player and collection and the ambient lighting provided by tastefully appointed lamps and wood burning fireplace. We will plan to come stay again and enjoy different seasons and excursions in the future.

Quiet getaway surrounded by lakes
Visited Bay Point Hideaway for a week and it was wonderful! The house was clean and provided great views of the woods while being quick driving distance from Lake Michigan, Frankfort, Crystal Lake, and a bit farther to Traverse City and Torch Lake. The hosts were wonderful to work with and we had a private quiet place to spend family time after great days at the beach! We plan to visit again.

Stylish and Comfortable
The house was very nicely decorated and had lots of nice cozy touches: a vinyl collection, robes for the hot tub, and a welcome bottle of wine. We had a lovely stay.

Nice getaway
Had a nice last minute stay. Enjoyed “The Hideway.” Nicely decorated and bright. Just enough space for the four of us. Did not take advantage of the hot tub, but maybe next time. AC is a great amenity. The only drawback were the mattresses - they were not very comfortable, certainly not the quality I would expect at this price point. Other than that a dishwasher would be nice. Still, enjoyed our stay.
