Great spot on the lake. External curb appeal and neighboring buildings aren't the prettiest, but once you snuggle inside this immaculate cottage it doesn't matter! Surpringly great restaurants in the area, and they've got great chairs, etc set up by the beach ##### Miriam A.

We loved the private beach and easy access to chairs, umbrellas and toys. We had two families with kids ranging from 6-14 and everyone had enough space and privacy while still enjoying each other’s company. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. We spent the day relaxing at the beach and evenings watching the sunset, relaxing in the porch and playing games at the dining table. It was The perfect family vacation! ##### Kristina R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy G. 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous property overlooking the Lake My husband and three of our grown children enjoyed a long weekend at this cabin. It has been completely remodeled and is beautiful inside. The bathrooms are newly remodeled and gorgeous.There are all the appliances you need to prepare meals in the state of the art kitchen. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after spending the days enjoying the private Lake Michigan beach. There are 125 steps down to the beach so be prepared for a good stairs workout!! ##### Kathy G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Crystal T. 15 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning Home & Breathtaking Patio Views This home is elegantly designed with a modern boho charm and spotlessly clean. Everything about the process and stay was effortless. I stayed with 3 friends for some R&R. Everyone raved about the home - it’s amenities - and how comfortable the beds are!! This was a huge plus! I travel quite a bit and most places I do not sleep well. I stayed in the first room and slept like a dream. The view of the lake from interior is limited but asa you step out on the deck, it lays out in front of you. We sat on the deck a lot and enjoyed the hot tub our last evening here. The large hot tub is a definite plus! 124 steps to the beach, which wasn’t as bad as it looked intimidating at first! I had my morning meditation and coffee there and even though it was April morning chilly, it was spectacular and secluded. I’ve been using VRBO for over 15 years and this home is in my top 5! The owners are kind and thoughtful. Make sure you leave a rock on their chimney - another flare we just loved! Thank you ##### Crystal T. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristen M. 4 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Wonderful lake house reunion I stayed at the house in late June with 3 adult friends. the house is very comfortable and well decorated. The size worked well (4 bed/2 bath) and loved the outdoor space (seating area, dining area and walk to beach). My only feedback would be more accuracy around the beach/lake view (the house sits back quite a bit, so definitely no lake view). There is also a run down house on the same property that is a bit of an eyesore. It would also be nice to have some basic staples to get started (salt/pepper, 1 day of coffee, etc). Although not having these items also meant the kitchens was super clean without any “leftovers” from other guests. ##### Kristen M.
