Lake Michigan Sand Beach & Wooded Privacy

We stayed here for 3 nights in October and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area. I was awake for 2 of the 3 sunrises and they were spectacular! We zoned out watching the waves roll in; we took naps; we read books; and yes, we watched some TV. So, the fall appears to be a great time to get away from the bustle of daily life.

AND, I left behind a jacket . . . Todd contacted me and mailed it. Great customer service.

Charming house,lovely windows and great beach. Very relaxing. Would return in a heart beat.

We stayed at the Clearing in September 2018. The weather was wonderful, 75 and sunny during the day. We found the house and deck to be larger and cooler than we expected. Our disabled family member was able to enter the house in the wheelchair around the back with help. Another in our group stayed in the little house, private and fun. At night we sat on the deck and looked at stars. VERY RELAXING. We have already made plans to return again. Thank you Mr. Johnson for a great experience!

My husband and I just spent a few days at The Clearing along with our two pups. The location is incredible, on a private street, surrounded by trees, steps from the water. While I know the beach varies in this area depending on lake level each year, this year we had a good 15-20'' of shoreline for us to enjoy, and almost always had the entire thing to ourselves. The cabin itself is spacious, clean, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Check in and check out was a breeze. You're a quick ride to downtown Oostburg where you'll find a grocery store, a bakery, and a cafe, and less than 20 minutes north is Sheboygan, with some larger stores, a great farmer's market, and some restaurants.

I look forward to coming back in the future.

Love, love this cottage. If I were to build my own cottage I would copy this floor plan. Roomy and rustic with all the modern comforts you need to relax and get away from it all. My favorite moments were enjoying a cappuccino on the deck overlooking Lake Michigan each morning. Shared the week with my grandchildren. One loving a swim in the lake and the other keeping the fire stoked for cooking lunch and dinner. Oostburg is a short drive for groceries and a great bike trail. My Aussie pup loved running along the beach and taking a quick dip in the lake. The lake has swallowed quite a bit of the beach that was here since my last visit 5 years ago. Access to the beach can be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. I could not get to the beach myself but the deck is so close that I didn't feel like I was missing out. Todd is great to work with. I hope to be able to come back again soon.
