Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This house is right on Lake Michigan and there are stairs leading down to a beautiful beach. For people who are mobile but can't do a couple flights of stairs, there is a path that is flat most of the way from the house to the beach. Nice firepit with view of the lake from the yard and large deck. Five bedrooms, 3 with comfy king beds and 2 with bunkbeds. The house has plenty of room for a family to move around. Lots of food and activities nearby. We enjoyed our stay very much.
