Peaceful and Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this well-equipped little bungalow. We had everything that we needed to enjoy a relaxing time away in this beautiful setting. We could enjoy lake Hamlin or just a short drive away we could also enjoy Lake Michigan. We would definately book here again should we return to the area.

Lakefront neighborhood located in a detour zone, but a quick call to the owner (he was responsive and helpful) clarified the location for us. Great property, exceptionally comfortable. A wonderful place to bring your fur-babies for a get-away. I highly recommend this property!
