This is an amazing place to stay on the waterfront of Lake Michigan. Although during the on season it seems a bit pricey, it was worth every cent we paid. It was roomy and accommodating for our party. The great room was perfect for a gathering space. The bridgeTo the beach was perfect and it was an excellent spot to hang out.

Stef was very on the ball with communication and super helpful. Even working with the cleaning crew to look for a lost item we left. The house is a bit older, but it had everything we needed. The location is just incredible, right on the beach and you can walk/bike/paddle into town or just walk a few minutes to hike in the Ridges Sanctuary. Amazing views of the starts at night. We enjoyed use of the deck, grill, beach toys, beach chairs and fire pit.

Great lake house!

We had a great time staying at this lake house. It was clean and had nice attention to detail. We loved having private beach access with an actual sandy beach as most beaches we saw in Door County were rocks. The beds were comfy and the fire pit was a hit with our kiddos. We'd definitely stay here again.

The house was very clean and we really liked the layout -- king and queen-bed bedrooms on opposite sides, each having a bathroom and then the living/dining area in the middle. Views are great and yes, we did walk to town. Both along the beach and via Ridges Rd. Really liked that we could do that. Description and pictures are accurate. We would stay there again. Also, it was the first VRBO-house grill (in my experience) that had been cleaned and maintained. Fire pit was too.
