Beautiful sunsets on the lake

We had 3 families of 4 with young kids staying at this property. The location was very nice having a private beach within a 2 minute walk in the backyard. There were some small hiccups, which were addressed immediately by the house manager. The sunset and sunrise were beautiful and listening to the crash of the waves each morning and evening was very peaceful. We visited Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City which were both about 45 minutes from the house were a very nice visit. We enjoyed our Michigan vacation. Thank you.
