Great beach vacation house

Wonderful beach. Great deck overlooking it. Charming spacious 5 bedroom with lots of living space. We loved the screened in porch where we ate our meals and played games. Lots of steps to the house and down to the beach in case you have older family members. Loved watching the sunset every night sitting on the deck.

Family summer vacation

We absolutely loved the charm of the cabin. The property and location were perfect! Our kids were at the beach throughout the day, every day.

Lovely stay on Lake Michigan!

The wooded setting directly on Lake Michigan was perfection. We loved the screened in front porch for all of our meals, morning coffee and game times. The deck was our sunset watching base and a shady reading spot during the day. The private beach was well appointed with lots of beach chairs. The fire pit behind the house in the forested area was great for our s'more making! Thanks for sharing your family cottage with us!
