Lovely home
The house was so nice and cozy! Loved the outdoor area! It was so nice to just hang out outside and have our dog be able to roam unleashed in the fenced area. We had deer visit us every night also!

Nice house on the hill
We stayed here for the weekend. Super clean with a lot of amenities. We enjoyed the hot tub and would love to return in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor kitchen. The host was really communicative and left a really nice gift for us too! Also really close to the Pere Marquette Beach. We would stay again.

Amazing winter get away!
I visited for a ladies weekend and we loved this place! The hot tub was wonderful. We visited the indoor farmer’s market and some other shops. Both Pints and Quarts and Curry Kitchen were delicious restaurants. We enjoyed hiking around the lake at Dune Harbor Park and it was a beautiful 45 minute loop. The house was well stocked and immaculate!

Fun girls getaway
Overall we loved the property, the host was very kind and thoughtful. A couple of the gals complaints were walking up the stairs. I however enjoyed the steps as an added benefit for activity from our lounge around weekend. I would definitely stay again, loved the location and it had everything we needed.

Nice Place in the Suburbs
The house was great the back yard was awesome. I'm used to renting in a more country setting but this was set up nicely and you could almost forget you were in the suburbs. The distance to lake Michigan is very close. I think that's the part I was unsure of when renting but it was a 1 min or less drive. One thing that was a bit of an issue is that I didn't realize you had to pay extra for a pet but you do. Overall very nice stay.

New Years get away
The condo was wonderful. We had kids home from college and my mom came as well. We enjoyed near by hikes. We loved coming back to have a fire and the hot tub. The lights outside were a beautiful touch!!! The dining room area was perfect to play nightly board games. We will definitely be back. This was a wonderful place to wrap up 2023!!! The host was wonderful and prompt!

Proximity and Patio
This place is great, any time of year. While our November visit was chilly, this stay at the house warmed up our weekend. The close proximity to trails and walking the beach was great as we caught one of the best sunsets I can recall. And coming back to the expertly stocked patio with the hot tub and solo fire pit and grill was the perfect way to close out the day.

Very clean with lots of amenities in a great location
We stayed on a family trip and had a great time. The gift. Add was unexpected and appreciated as we ate almost every meal at the deck. The owners had everything a family could ask for: extra towels, bikes, locks, beach toys, etc. highly recommend for a family looking to vacation on Lake Michigan!
