We kayak almost everyday, swim in the lake though you must be wary of Swimmer's Itch which my sister will tell you can be horrible. Only one of the five of us suffered from it. Lake Michigan with its gorgeous water and dunes is where we usually swim. Fabulous views from the dunes. Beechwood Cottage is wonderfully stocked for any cooking and baking needs which we most appreciate because we like to eat, drink, and play games rather than eating at restaurants. However, the cottage's proximity to good restaurants and wineries is a huge bonus. We are road bikers, and I can't say enough about the roads in Michigan. Excellent. The lengthening of the Heritage Trail has made biking even more appealing. So, all and all, a delightful stay in this perfect environment. ##### Julie S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### KEITH D. 1 Jun 2025 #### Very relaxing stay While the weather was very early spring-like (cool & damp), we made our own sunshine.
