This was our 2nd stay at this wonderful cabin. Our boys had been begging to return to "the cabin with a bridge" and were so excited to bring along our family dog. The views are breathtaking and the cabin comes equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had a lovely time playing games, walking on the beach, baking & watching movies. And the hosts are so very kind and thoughtful.This is the perfect place to rest your mind and recharge your sole!

The cabin is always immaculate when we arrive with everything we need. This year, having the drive, the parking area and the walkway up to the cabin freshly plowed and shoveled was so nice. The chocolates were a great touch also!

What a wonderful week! We couldn’t have picked a my beautiful place for our stay — the cabin is even better than we imagined. It was so nice to wake up to the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan from our backyard. We all enjoyed the kayaks and fire pits. We’re all glowing from the great time and can’t wait to do it again!

Ideal Lake Michigan Cottage

Lots of character, thoughtfully appointed, amazing backyard overlooking the lake, with multiple ways to take it in (back porch, hammock, firepit circle, picnic table for meals, and more), and beautiful, unpopulated stretch of beach. Perfect.

A Special Place

This property is just as described in the listing. It was a perfect house and location for my husband and to spend time with his 3 siblings and spouses. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was well supplied. The Lake Michigan view was spectacular and we all took several walks on the beach. It was a treat to stay there.

Another fantastic vacation at a true vintage gem! We loved the superbly stocked house, enjoyed the sipping-hummingbird porch, lazed on the private beach that had great chairs and fun boats to use! The owners of this place have thought of every detail- beach towels, good kitchen stuff, outdoor dog bowls, etc. We cannot wait to spend another week here next summer- it's just a magic place.

Great house

We like this area, so looked for a house last minute this year. The house was better than the pics! Really neat/fun house…we really enjoyed our stay! The beach is huge and the highlight, with kayaks, umbrellas, tables, etc. Also a great view of the water from the house..and shaded backyard to hangout. Barb very responsive to help! Great family week!

Beautiful, Comfy Cabin

My 3 siblings and their spouses and my wife and I, ages 60-77 came together to celebrate birthdays, our second year in a row. We love this place! Lots of room for big meals, time around the fire and long walks on the beach. It has everything we need for a late winter get-a-way! Thanks Barb for all the extra touches. We hope to be back again next year.

September getaway

My husband and I and our 2 sons and spouses stayed at this charming cottage for our annual family vacation. We could not have asked for a better setting for relaxing and reconnecting. The property was as described and exceeded our expectations for extras like towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, life jackets and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beach was spectacular and we had it to ourselves this time of year. Overall a very nice property for a quiet beach vacation. Would recommend.

Family Getaway

We loved our stay! This property is so well appointed; they’ve thought of everything. Lots of dishes and stocked kitchen so we had fun preparing meals and eating together at the large dining room table overlooking the lake. Kayaks and paddle boards were a nice addition for impromptu voyage into the lake. Great for bonfires. Steps to upstairs are a little tricky to navigate for older family members and pets.

We loved the character of this historic cabin. It is clearly cared for with pride + TLC. The beautiful beach is the main attraction, but we spent lots of time admiring the details of the cabin inside + out…it’s very special! So happy to have found a dog-friendly spot along the shores of Lake Michigan. We definitely hope to be back!

This house is gorgeous with spectacular views, tons to do for the kids and adults in the house and yard as well as on the beach and in the water. Stunning views of the lake and sunsets, even caught view of a rainbow as the thunderstorm came in to shore. Barb was very kind and quick with responses. The house is clean and well cared for with the normal oddities of an older house/cabin. Everyone in my family had an amazing stay!
