Mostly Adequate Accommodations

We were bit disappointed with this place, but it did serve its purpose. The community is nice. We didn’t use the beach area, the kids preferred the oval. We did not sleep well, the mattresses we really poor. The water pressure in the shower was fine for two minutes then you are standing there trying to rinse off in a trickle of water. It was a really humid in the house (dehumidifier was off, not even plugged in). Took most of the week with us having to empty the tank several times a day to make it feel comfortable inside. The humidity was probably the cause for all the spiders. We thoroughly cleaned before we left. Maybe if we did this day one we would have felt more comfortable.

Peaceful and relaxing

We had a peaceful and relaxing stay. The private beach was perfect. The house was comfortable, loved the front deck! Kitchen had everything you would need. Unfortunately I had a Zoom meeting while there and the WiFi was not adequate.

About the host

Hosted by Art & Deena Green

We bought our cottage in 2010 and enjoy using it when we don't have it rented.

Why they chose this property

Lake Michigan has always been a special place for us. To be able to walk to the beach either for a morning stroll, an afternoon playing in the waves or for the evening sunset is such a blessing. We love to share the beautiful area with others and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.
