A great week on the lake!

This is our 3rd time staying at this property. We stay with two families of four and a couple, so 10 people total. If you are a large adult, you may have issues sleeping on the bunk beds. Two bedrooms are bunk rooms with two sets of bunkbeds. In one room, the top beds are pretty close to the bottom bed, so not ideal for adults, but we make it work. The property has everything you need; however, you do have to bring your own linens and towels. The house is spacious given the two stories. The back patio is nice for storing all of our outdoor gear and coolers and the top deck is perfect for hanging out in the mornings and evenings. The neighbors are very nice and if you are respectful of the area, they are very welcoming. The beach area for the rental is part of the association and is small, but a short walk toward the lighthouse and there is plenty of room on the stretch of state land. We spent our days on the beach and ventured to Craigs Cruisers and the Chicken Shack one day. If you love the beach and want a relaxing vacation home with a view, I highly recommend this place. Diane is great to work with and we will be back again for a 4th year.

Great house on beach

The house is older but perfectly fine for a family vacation. The beach is much closer then the pictures show. Plenty of room for all 3 kids and adults. Had all of the cooking supplies but no condiments or spices, fyi. We bought some at the store, no problem. We loved the place!

Cozy cottage

We really enjoyed our time at the lake. This 2 story home has space on each level to relax. The upstairs porch is very large and offers nice views of the lake. We also enjoyed using the fire pit at night. The owner was great at communicating and responding quickly to any inquiries. I agree with other reviews about no "fine dining". But that's not why I go to the lake. Ludington is a short drive away and offers several options for food and entertainment. Other larger cities are within 2 hours drive and excellent for day trips.

Wonderful location and cottage

Location of this cottage is absolutely amazing. Short walk to the beautiful Lake Michigan. We had an issue with the water heater during our stay but host was very quick to have someone come out and fix the issue. Cottage was perfect size for our family with two adults, two younger kids and a baby. The kids loved sleeping on the bunk beds. We would definitely stay again!
