2 Words - Private Beach
We stayed at this rental June 21-27 for a family vacation. My daughter graduated high school and wanted to see Lake Michigan and we were lucky to find this gem! 8 of us total age ranges 43-12 and it was great for all of us. The lake water was too cold for adults but the kids didn’t care. Kayaks and billiards were a huge hit. The beach is amazing and quiet and private. No fighting for space or crawling through crowds like at FL. We read, we fished, we played games and we slept! The house was so clean and nice and stocked with everything you need, from paper towels and TP, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, to life vests and beach towels, toys…literally all the things! I way overpacked! We didn’t want to leave at all. The drive back to the house is long but that didn’t bother us at all. The views and the short walk to the water was worth long stretch of road to get there. If I was changing anything it would be the dates we visited, the weather was hit or miss with the temperatures, I could have gone for about 10 degrees warmer. We look forward to visiting again!

Peaceful Retreat
What a wonderful property! The property is right on the beach and very secluded. We watched the beautiful sunrises every morning. Everything you need is here. We love the area and enjoyed the near by day trips to Pictured Rocks, Mackinac Island and Kitch-iti-kipi. We would definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful Beach
Before I arrived, Joni answered all of my questions within minutes. All of the appliances and outdoor grill are new and high quality. The beach is beautiful and easy to play in or just walk. The house is very secluded. The internet is fast! Television has lots of options. It is everything we expected!

Truly a Gem on Lake Michigan
This beautiful home has so much to offer. Incredible expansive sandy beach, quiet wooded property with lovely landscaping, beautiful sunrises, kayaking, and is loaded with amenities, We enjoyed bonfires every night while watching the sunset over Lake Michigan, witnessed a bald eagle soar over the beach, saw a spectacular full double rainbow over the lake after a rainstorm, and countless deer in the area. The property is so beautiful, I was able to capture so many wonderful senior pictures for my HS senior. The home was clean, kitchen fully stocked, and all bathroom / laundry / kitchen essentials were provided. The host was very courteous and responded quickly to messages. I can't wait to return to this gem!
