This trip was absolute dream for our family of 5 with 3 young children plus grandma. The house was so perfect with kids. It gave me nostalgic 90s vibes with the DVDs, books, and board games. The resort was more beautiful than pictures show. Morning walks around the resort and to the beach was a perfect start to the day. The house was central to the playground, pool, and beach. We want to come back every year!

We had a great visit with our young son. The hosts provided plenty of shared amenities and you can't beat the location to the Beachwalk amenities or Lake Michigan. Anders was responsive and accommodating. The only thing the house was missing was darker curtains in the bedrooms and a baking sheet in the kitchen. We would definitely return to the Trolls Den!
