Plenty big enough and a beautiful home in a great location. The walk to the beach was unexpected uphill through the woods, but scenic. The hot tub was nice as well. We enjoyed our stay.

The Blackberry Dunes house was beautifully designed and decorated, and was very well stocked with the little comforts which are so often missed in a rental home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the setting to be peaceful and serene. The spectacular September weather allowed us to spend time around the fire pit and on the patio and screened in porch, all of which provided very comfortable seating. Was very comfortable for our group of seven adults.

Blackberry Dune retreat
We had a lovely stay at Blackberry Dune in Harbert. The home was beautiful and thoughtfully appointed with every amenity you could need. During a summer heatwave, we especially appreciated being just a short walk from the stunning beach and refreshing waters of Lake Michigan. The walk was a bit of a workout, but absolutely worth it! We cherished the quality time spent with our adult children—playing games, sharing meals, and unwinding with good books. A peaceful and memorable getaway.
