The Castle is one of 3 homes on a beautiful, private drive that winds through the woods and dunes to the lake. Bordering the property to the north there are also 57 acres of pristine dunes available for hiking and exploring.

Lots of fun things to do in the area. Owners Jack and Judy were outstanding, as they provided lots of details ahead of time regarding what to pack and what was stocked at the rental property. They also stopped by Saturday evening to make sure we had everything we needed and to answer any additional questions. The sweeping views of the lake & the sunsets were amazing. Our young kids enjoyed the expansive play areas both inside the castle, on the decks, and at the beach. We could not have asked for anything more as this was a perfect stay on Lake Michigan. ##### Michelle s.

The kitchen, bedrooms & bathrooms are furnished with all the comforts needed to make a stay enjoyable. There are plenty of places to hike, including some awesome dunes that give way to more fantastic views. Whether you want activity or just a peaceful vacation, this castle is the place to stay! ##### Sandra G.

If you want to get away from it all and still enjoy all modern conveniences, this is it! Our family of 10 (3 generations) spent a week at the lakefront 'castle' and cherished every minute of it. The location is very private and the beach is wonderful, complete with wooden beach chairs, volleyball net, 2 ocean kayaks, and a firepit which we made use of every evening while watching the sunset (firewood can be purchased nearby). The house itself offers all imaginable comforts and is fully equipped in every respect, including kid's toys, foosball and ping-pong tables, games, even a hidden 'secret room' for the kids to find (which proved to be quite a fun challenge). The home is beautifully maintained and the directions by the owner were easy to follow. We found that the pictures really don't do it justice and were most pleasantly surprised. There is no lack of anything. We enjoyed lots of fun things in the area, dune buggy riding, renting a pontoon boat on Silver Lake, horseback riding, etc. Most of our meals were eaten in except for one dinner at the Applewood Restaurant on the golf course nearby (5 minute drive) which was quite good. This was our first stay on Lake Michigan. Compared to the Atlantic, there is lots to be said for crystal clear water (yes, it's a bit chilly), no debris on the beach, no jelly fish or sharks, no salt water, no tide. Nothing but fine sand, huge dunes, and spectacular sunsets! We loved it! As a footnote, there are lots of steps both inside and out which might be a bit difficult to negotiate for those who are physically challenged. For the rest of us, it was an excuse to double up on dessert. :) A very special thank you to the owners for letting us share this beautiful home. ##### Claudia T.

A true bonding experience...played board games, video games, ping pong, watched movies, had a Wii bowling competition, nerf gun wars, and so much more. The (Sand) Castle is amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. The architecture is truly unique, including the secret room, and the home still looks like its brand new! It comes with every amenity imaginable. The views of the lake are awe inspiring and the sunsets amazing. We highly recommend this home to anyone considering some time away. The only disappointment was that we eventually had to leave! ##### Stephanie C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris S. 14 Jul 2010 #### Magic at the Castle We spent a magical week in June at the Castle. Grandma and Grandpa and three families (13 of us in all) had a ball! Our ages ranged from 2 months old to age 60, and the accommodations were perfect for us. Everything was as promised with the exception of no crib, and no pack and play (luckily we brought our own). Otherwise, the facilities, amenities, and setting well exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it, and if you luck out like we did with good weather, you won't be disappointed. There is so much to do in the area, and whether you have teenagers, grade school agers, or oldsters, there is something for everyone. The host family was very helpful, and they have a beautiful home to share. We'll be back! ##### Chris S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 27 Aug 2008 #### A TOTALLY EXCELLENT GET AWAY! Former N.Muskegon residents, moved (reluctantly) to WI..:) , rented property with my sister/family from Lansing and brought son in from San Diego. Property is all it looks like in pictures, and then better even in person! :) Location=magnificent; Property/Amenities/Maintained=excellent; Owners/Communications=excellent & most enjoyable! We would most certainly recommend this property to anyone and everyone! (Except for a 'selfish' side to it that wants to keep this a 'hidden gem') :) There are no words to sufficiently explain the beauty of Lake Michigan if you have not experienced such in person! Raw, powerful, exhilirating, humbling and soothing all at the same time. Pretty much perfect! :) TONY, LISA, JACK, LORI, TANNER & DAVID This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### aTZ7eY941r5JIwfb2jde1rUMh1ftYLuO6Mo6B6cvQRXy2qSG1FrpJuYfU0Qm1kzTr49YytEZjL/hrGRBu5s92gUDIywisYEkwW+B a. 1 Aug 2008 #### panoramic views of Lake Michigan This spacious, immaculately clean Lake Michigan beach house was the ideal venue for our large family's vacation. The numerous windows and decks overlooking the lake allow for constant encounters with the natural beauty of the property's dunes and sweeping grandeur of Lake Michigan. The house's four levels mean that those who sleep late will not be awoken by those who arise early. Large family meals are easily accommodated by the kitchen island, dining area table, and outside deck. "The Castle" (or "The Magic Kingdom" as one of the neighbors referred to it) can accomodate both those who prefer to spend the day sitting quietly reading and those who want to charge down to the beach for a volleyball game or swim. Everyone seems to gravitate to a favorite spot to enjoy the sunset a day's end. The local area is sleepy but charming. We enjoyed delicious sub sandwiches at the Cottage Cafe at Stoney Lake and the small Stoney Lake store was great for staples (not to mention ice cream.) The fishermen in our group gave high marks to Stoney Lake. The golfers were satisifed with the nearby links. Animal lovers took to the horseback riding at Rainbow Ranch and the Lewis Petting Farm and Market. The only change we would make to the venue would be the addition of a railing on the stairs leading from the beach back up to the house. It feels potentially dangerous without one. Otherwise no complaints whatsoever! We hope to return for another stay. ##### aTZ7eY941r5JIwfb2jde1rUMh1ftYLuO6Mo6B6cvQRXy2qSG1FrpJuYfU0Qm1kzTr49YytEZjL/hrGRBu5s92gUDIywisYEkwW+B a.

You can gather a large group together in one area, or there is enough space to spread out and give everyone privacy. It has every amenity you can think of. The only downside was there was no access to the Internet, which they had advertised on the website. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Goulding's Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monument-Valley-Hotels-Gouldings-Lodge.h11899033.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
