Erick is an amazing host and his homes are beautiful, comfortable and have everything you need to have a perfect stay.Our family has rented both of his homes on Lake Michigan and our time there has been amazing.I would highly recommend either house to anyone looking to retreat to a peaceful, beautiful location within walking distance from the beach. They are both stunning locations.

Dishwasher did not work, hot water heater old and in need of repair as evidenced by hot water running out during shower and the tv was too old to stream anything. Internet was very slow as well. The house itself was fine and the location was good. Our biggest complaint centers around a repair man entering the premises while we were away without our knowledge or consent. When owner realized we had complained he was apologetic that I ‘felt’ this was an unsafe incident. Do yourself a favor and just book somewhere else.

The house was in a great location, and had everything we needed. However the bedrooms (especially the one to the left of the bathroom) was very smelly. Smelled like mildew, carpets probably need to be heavily cleaned.

A Lovely Quiet Getaway
My family and I stayed for a weekend in the off season, and we had a very nice time. Erick is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the area, able to answer any questions you might have. The cottage is situated in a neighborhood, so it's ideal for those who want to have a quiet stay and aren't planning to get up to too much rowdiness. The neighborhood private beach access is just a short drive or brisk walk down the road, and we got there just in time to see a stunning Lake Michigan sunset. As the listing says, the bathroom is quite small, so it might be close quarters for a big group with lots of kids who all want to take showers etc., but if you're looking for a cozy and relaxing spot close to the lake, it's perfect.

Lake Michigan on ice
My daughter and myself travel to this lake house to see the ice on Lake Michigan. We actually arrived late roughly around 10 PM and for some reason we were not able to get in. I called Eric the property owner and he was so helpful. he got us in right away, and he gave us a rundown of everything how to access the lake, great places to eat he also ran through the cabin with us to make sure everything was perfect. We’ve used Vrbo a lot over the years and this was probably our favorite place that we’ve stayed. It was just two of us that went but this place is great for a family. There’s lots of room lots of beds.

This was the perfect spot for my husband and I, we were in the area visiting for a wedding in mid-January. It was very quiet since it was the off season. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We’d love to come back during the summer months when we can enjoy the lake and sunshine!
