Wonderful small house in a quiet setting. Beach is within walking distance. House was clean and easily accessible. All the basics were there. Very happy with our stay and will stay again in the future.

Me and two of my coworkers stayed here and it was perfect for us. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood. There is a beautiful outdoor area with a firepit/grill. Unfortunately, it stormed most of the time we were there so we couldn't enjoy it. Verizon cell reception is pretty bad here but the wifi is good so we had service the whole time we stayed. If we are ever in the area, we hope to be able to stay here again! Highly recommend!

Although the house is very cute, easy to find and has all the amenities for a great stay we did sadly have some issues during our time. We had a difficult time checking in. It took almost 90 mins to gain access to the house. With 4 guests we were given 1 roll of Toilet paper. The house had a very intense smell of cat urine that ruined our stay. There weren’t any instructions on how to use the gas stove so breakfast was baked in the oven. Although Erik “bought” our dinner due to us not being able to cookout our steaks because of check in issues, we found it a little tacky that he refused to pay for taxes and tip. When I told him our stay was a bust, he replied, “Thanks-it was a bust for me too”.

Lovely home in a great part of Michigan. We enjoyed some beautiful sunsets on the quiet Lake Michigan beach. There are fruit orchards and markets all around, and our kids loved Lewis Farm store and petting zoo.
