This was our 3rd year in a row staying at this fantastic house, and it gets better every time. The location is absolutely perfect for a Lake Michigan family vacation—easy access to the beach and close to everything you need.One of our favorite spots in the house is the huge screened-in porch. We spent countless hours out there enjoying dinners, morning coffee & playing Uno.On top of a great house, the host is super communicative, welcoming, and always quick to answer any questions. We’re already looking forward to making it year #4!

The house is absolutely beautiful with the most comfortable beds we have ever had in a rental. It’s a short walk to the beach and the house comes with chairs, beach towels, a wagon and umbrellas to make for the easiest and most comfortable beach experience. We will be back!

Great SW MI Stay!

Betsy's home is great for a group. We loved the open concept living space, screened-in porch and firepit. It is in a great location walkable to The Whist Stop, Red Arrow Roadhouse and the beach. Small detail, but especially loved that they have and soap for all of the sinks which I find rare in rentals in :)

We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier about the location. The home is in a quiet area with various restaurants, wineries, and shops nearby. The hosts were extremely attentive throughout the process and the home offered various amenities. Thank you for an incredible stay!

Another Amazing Trip!

This was our third time staying here and we absolutely loved it! Everything was top-notch and we didn't want to leave! My two boys cried when we had to go home, but we hope to come back next year! Our favorite part is the large, wrap-around, screened-in porch. The bedrooms are all comfortable and the beach is amazing! Thanks for a memorable vacation!

Another wonderful stay

Oak Dunes is a wonderfully kept home and property! The homeowner keeps the home stocked with all the essentials for relaxing. It truly is a home away from home! It is cozy and inviting and a short distance either by car or on foot to many eateries, shops, wineries/distilleries, state parks and beaches. There are many fun fall activities during the season. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Family girls trip

Perfect home for our trip to celebrate a graduation & successful school year. Plenty of room for 7 adults & 3 children. Very clean & comfortable space with everything we needed for our stay. A short walk to a beautiful beach, The Whistlestop & gelato! We have traveled to this area several times & this is one of the nicest rentals we have found. Highly recommend it! Betsy provided clear check in & out instructions & lots of great info on nearby restaurants & places to visit. Hope to stay here again!

Beautiful home

We have stayed in this house every summer for the last several years. Every year we see the improvements the owners make and it just gets better every time. Literally a five minute walk to the beach. Also, a five minute walk to The Whistle Stop store and The Roadhouse bar. Less than a ten minute walk the other direction to the shops at Union Pier. Hope to go back every summer for years to come.

Beautiful Harbor Country home

Beautiful Harbor Country home. Situated close to the bike trail adjacent to the Red Arrow highway. A five-minute walk to the closest public beach. The property features a screened in wrap around porch, a fire pit, and a gas grill. Inside the place was spotless with more than enough room for us. Six to eight people would be comfortable here. It's one of the best places we've stayed in this area. Highly reccomend.
