Loved that there were kids cups, plates and bowls along with a high chair. We would love to stay again! ##### Katherine M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle G. 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Space for a Getaway! The property was perfect for 4 adults to get away and enjoy! The kitchen was stocked with any utensils or dishes you might need. The TVs were not user friendly as you have to log into your own account for most services (all streaming). I would also recommend window treatments be added to the front & back doors as well as the doorway for more security and privacy. Overall we were very pleased with the location, just a few minute walk to the end of the street and there are beautiful views of Lake Michigan! We would definitely consider booking this again! ##### Danielle G.
