Property was poorly maintained…needs a thorough cleaning. A lot of overgrowth around the house leaving pathes inaccessible to backyard. Grill & Blackstone were unusable. Broken & unusable furniture. This could be a beautiful place but needs TLC. Will not return or recommend.
Rusted/dirty grill.
Unusable Blackstone grill w/ mouse droppings & rust.
Broken chair
Bedroom dresser that was unusable due to No handles.

Book this home now!10/10

Our stay was beyond amazing. The home was perfect for our family of ten. (5 grown, a baby, 3 teens, and a young child). We had plenty of room to relax and spread out without feel cramped. The evenings were beautiful with a spectacular view from nearly every window and the back deck. The location is perfect: secluded enough to feel private yet only a short 3 miles to the main public beach. The home has several boats and a dock for fishing to use as well as a fire pit. The communication with the owners was great. They were responsive and sweet. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful sanctuary

Amazing house set on a quiet hill overlooking Stony Creek and the edge of the lake. Beautiful and serene. A bald eagle sat outside near the deck for hours. Really a pristine spot, and the owner was great.

overall a great time

overall it was a beautiful place to stay , we had 4 adults and 5 kids ranging from 9 to 15 years old ,some things that were listed on the place were not there cable tv and internet (not deal breakers) no easy access to the water as listed , big thing was that there was no a/c or heat in the home (thank god for great weather or this could have been a huge problem ) in speaking with the owner i advised him of some of our concerns and he said that this is his first time as a host and that he would address them. if renting please make sure to ask a lot of questions as i did not, overall i would recomond this home as i do belive that things would be better if the owner had put these things in the disription . this is a beautiful area and it did not diminish our trip

Peaceful and spacious :)

We loved the property, deck view, and close proximity to Lake Michigan! Our household got together with my parents and my sister’s family (10 total) and it was a perfect size house / location for some nice time all together. My husband said it was the best deck view ever - seeing lots of different birds! Definitely would book here again!
