This was our family's third stay at this property and we love and appreciate it more with each vacation here! Ample room to accommodate our large brood with instructions/pertinent information laid out perfectly. We had a few newbies that were able to come this time and they remarked that now they understood why we raved about it so. Close to town yet still offered a country, woodsy feel. The private beach right on the big lake was a HIT with all the younger ones. Having king beds in 4 of the bedrooms is a definite plus. We're saddened to see that, as of now, we can't book for next summer as there's no available slots that mesh with our schedules. Hoping that something will free up! Hosts are super to work with.

This property was simply incredible. Originally when I booked, it looked amazing and then once we saw the floor plans later on, it was perfect to see the exact layouts and how all the floors were. What a beautiful home and property. The views of the sunset here are incredible, and the the 4 en suite bedrooms made our stay with friends truly unforgettable. This is a beautiful place.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Gautraud

Host profile image
We have a large family, 10 children and now 31 grandchildren. We needed a large, family friendly space for our Michigan vacations and since we outgrew most places we felt it was time to own our own Michigan home. We have created many memories of our Michigan days with our family , we hope you do as well.

Why they chose this property

Great beachfront property with a walkout beach for old and young. We have two grandchildren with disabilities the beach access was ideal for their needs.

What makes this property unique

The open plan helps people feel connected yet the downstairs give the kids or adults a place of their own. Our own family has found this a great feature!
