Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert J. 31 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing and Relaxing Stay The property is great, everything we needed. A short walk from the beach and a great place to watch a sunset over lake Michigan. Coming from Wisconsin we have only been able to see sunrises over the lake so this was excellent. The only drawback and it is every so slight, is just the distance from the check in location to the property (15minutes) which normally wouldn't be a problem but after 5 hours we just wanted to get out of the car. ##### Robert J. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deja H. 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in The house was amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone going to this location. Downtown Sauagatuck was about 15 minutes away, but good enough to still go and walk around, but also far enough away to enjoy the camp life, cabin style! The only downfall was the check-in process, you do have to drive into town first to check in at the realtor office and then drive to the house.. so after driving for a few hours, we just wanted to be there and not make more stops! Other than that, our experience was amazing and the staff was GREAT and very Attentive to their customers. ##### Deja H.
