Another Great Stay
It was well equipped and the owner was quick to respond to our needs. The kids enjoyed the fite pit, play room and space to themselves on back patio. We appreciated access to the beach kayaking and sunsets. We will be back!

Clean comfortable cabin
Very clean. Comfortable. Has two bathrooms which is great. Decent parking. Nice fire pit out front. The garage has ping pong table and a few other games which is awesome. The covered grilling station outside the garage is a nice touch.
The couches are very comfortable afyer a long day offroading at the sand dunes.Only thing we didn't like were the security cameras in the yard and on the deck. Weird feeling to be watched while on vacation. Other than that great little cabin.

Perfect location & accommodations
We really enjoyed our stay in this very clean, well-maintained home. The location was perfect as we had family and friends at the campground right around the corner. Highly recommend this Vrbo and would stay here again without question.

As listed
We enjoyed our stay. The properties is as described. It is a great out of the way location between Pentwater and Silver Lake. There is plenty of room for parking multiple vehicles and 3 bedrooms/2 baths was more than enough space. The garage has ping pong, foosball, and a basketball game for rainy days. If you are looking for a basecamp, don't overlook this option.

Off the beaten path
If you are looking for relaxing outdoor space, this had it. Fire pit was awesome! The garage door opens up to a great game room for kids and especially great when it rains. Kids bedroom had really comfy beds. Not the most updated and a little smaller than it looks. Overall was fine since we were outdoors or off on an adventure somewhere.
It’s about a 10-15 minute walk to Lake Michigan when you are walking with your kids and such. There are many stairs to get down to beach.
Silver Lake and Pentwater within 10 minutes driving. Mac Woods Dune ride is a must!

Many Comforts even in Bad Weather
This property is comfortable and has an indoor game room for bad weather. The stairs to the beach were too slippery so we didn’t get to visit. The MacDune ride was wonderful and close. The fans were necessary to get the central air into the bedrooms. The directions posted were helpful. Bring a wine opener if you drink.

Just what we were looking for
Prefect location. No need to air up and down going back and forth to the dunes. Nice wooded and quiet location. Nice touches like 2 outdoor patios, game room and grilling area. Kids loved the bunk bed room. Having a close by beach was a bonus. House was clean and seemed well maintained. No issues or problems with our stay. Wanting to return next year.

Perfect stay while at the sand dunes
The full size bunks plus separate rooms really make this place suitable for a bunch of people. Plenty of parking available for trucks and trailers. Make sure you turn on the water softener though, it was off and all the water smelled bad all weekend.

Great family cabin
Great place to stay it accommodated our group of 6 adults and 5 kids. As soon as we arrived the kids were very excited about all the cabin had to offer! Night one it rained but we still got to sit outside thanks to the awning out front and over the grill. We got to have a few fires in the pit surrounded by the lights that were hung up. The bunk bed room was perfect for the kids and the 2nd bathroom was in there which we liked. The kitchen had everything we needed and had a big farmhouse sink. The beds were all comfortable and everything was very clean. The beach was beautiful, within walking distance but it was easier to drive for us with all the kids. Theres quite a few stairs that led to the beach of course, but we didnt mind. The host was very quick to respond to questions. Overall we had a great stay and hopefully can return in the future!

The rental name says it all!
I absolutely loved our stay in this central yet secluded rental house. It was very clean and fully stocked with just about everything you can think of. It was perfect for the four of us, although it could easily accommodate more people.
It was great to sit out front and cook on the grill and eat our dinner outside at the table or the back patio. The fire ring was perfect too.
I also love the fact that it was it within walking distance to the beach, and then just a few short miles to the Sandune’s and other attractions.
Overall, this place was perfect!
Great customer service too. I would recommend this place to anyone.
