About this property
MONTAGUE!! FLOWER CREEK GUEST HOUSE <1 MI TO LAKE MICHIGAN! & FLOWER CREEK DUNES
MONTAGUE MI !This newly remodeled 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Home with walk-out basement offers privacy, seclusion, and many home amenities for a family to relax and enjoy Michigan outdoors. It is nestled in the woods on 5 acres, overlooking beautiful Flower Creek and Upstream from the new Flower Creek Dunes Nature Preserve on Lake Michigan. This area is considered unique for vacationing especially if one likes to hike, fish, hunt, golf, walk the dunes, explore, canoe, ski, swim, or boat on Big Flower Creek, Lake Michigan or other nearby inland lakes, marshes, and ponds. One can specifically visit the Flower Creek Dunes Nature Preserve or just walk miles on the precious sand dunes. Interesting wild life, birds and flowers to observe as well. So, come and vacation at our Flower Creek Walk-out Home. Lots of parking available and lots to do with the whole family and/or friends in and around this Western Michigan country. Chicago and Detroit are only 3 to 3.5 hours away. Grand Rapids is about an hour away. There are many Lake Michigan Beach entry points close by to this property. I also have a beachfront cottage that can be booked with this home also. VRBO id #322524

Very clean and we enjoyed the quietness. Mike Anderson was very nice to talk with and work with. We plan on coming back during the summer. So we can really enjoy the outdoors!!
Property is secluded lots of room for everyone . The road in is gravel and badly washboarded. Great place to stay. Beach close by short drive. House very well equipped. Nice secluded place .quiet Loved it
We stayed for a weekend with our friends’ family, and it was relaxing and big enough for everyone to stretch out and play outside.
There is a pool table in the basement which was great, and the deck out back was a nice hangout spot.
Overall, very nice!
And of course, going to Lake Michigan for a sunset was wonderful.

Mike was very helpful and answered every time I called with any questions.
The house was very clean and had enough room for our big family to enjoy time together. We all loved the views and being out of town. We cant wait to come in the summer to explore more. House had everything we needed and more, our boys enjoyed the pool table and basement area. It was perfect place to just relax and get time with all of our kids and grandchildren. Property manager was awesome very helpful and accommodating to our needs.
This house was bigger than it looks in the pictures and was a great location for our group of 5 adults and 7 children. There was plenty of space to spread out and the kids loved playing pool in the lower level. The view of the woods and creek from the back deck is especially beautiful. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. A+!
This house isn't anything fancy, but is has everything you need. And there is LOTS of space. I was really impressed with house clean it is, and the back sitting areas are so lovely. Two families with several children each fit very comfortably in the house. Looking forward to next time!

We did not realize it was so far out from Montague/Whitehall. Roosevelt road (dirt) was horrible to drive on. The house was very stuffy/musty smelling when we arrived. Had to wash pots and pans to use them. Carpet is very dirty. The whole place could use a good cleaning.
Long weekend with 3 families of 4. House had enough rooms and hang out areas so that we weren't all constantly in each other's space. Beautiful view from back deck and close to Lake Michigan beaches and options for family friendly activities. Happy memories!
Mike is a great host and his Montague Property is lovely!
Mike was very responsive each time I reached out to him. He went above and beyond to provide places to visit while staying at his home. The house was clean and full of amenities! I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun family vacation or even just a quiet, private place to stay and look at a gorgeous view! The beds were comfortable, the entertaining areas and kitchen had everything we needed, and he price was so reasonable!
The whole family enjoyed the pool table! Plenty of room and close to Michigan Adventure. We've stayed here before. Mike is quick to respond and very helpful about the things available in the area
Check in process was very easy, had everything we needed to cook meals with, view was beautiful & loved how secluded it was. && it was very clean when we got there!
I loved the privacy of the but yet just close enough to silver lake and all we wanted to do!:) we went for my 40th birthday and it was relaxing but fun for the kids!:) we had a great stay with all we needed in the home! Great place to stay!:)
Beautiful home and so spacious! Beds were so comfortable, home was clean and updated! We had nothing to want for at this property! We are already planning our next trip! The golf courses close were great and short drive to alot while being nicely secluded!
It was a great gathering place with wonderful outside space. There is air conditioning and a large inside space as well. Teenagers enjoyed the pool table downstairs and we also had a fun time in the yard playing games and enjoying the fire pit. It was a bit of a walk to the beach, but it is through the woods and the woods are BEAUTIFUL. The cabin is an older property, but very usable and created a wonderful atmosphere for our family time together
This cottage on a wooded lot is a nature-lover's paradise! As soon as we arrived and unpacked, we sat on the deck watching waterfowl in the distant pond through a clearing in the trees. Deer visited the edges of the yard to feed, and on our last evening two fawns edged into the clearing and spent 10 wonderful minutes with us. The views of the night sky are also delightful! Make time to hike at the Flower Creek Dunes natural area (lovingly preserved by local donations) and take a dip at Meinert Park beach. Easy access for groceries and relaxed dining in Montague-Whitehall.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Anderson
I have been going to this property for more than 50 years and enjoying the area and am always amazed at the beauty of this shoreline area and all of the things to do here.
Why they chose this property
The Lake Michigan shoreline between Muskegon and Traverse City has been described as "the most scenic recreation shorelines on the Great Lakes."
Almost 60 years ago, the National Parks Service conducted a survey that identified the most important shoreline locations for conservation. Flower Creek Dunes was listed alongside places like Sleeping Bear Dunes and Arcadia Dunes. I have another property 3 BR/ 2 bath close by this one Beachfront VRBO # 322524 that could be rented together.
What makes this property unique
In 2012, the Land Conservancy took the first steps in protecting these special dunes by creating the 14 Acre Flower Creek Dunes Nature Preserve. Since then the it has been doubled in size by recent gifts. This property is just upstream from this Nature preserve that is on Lake Michigan. It is very easy to get to but not very well known by the general public at this time.
