Sommerset: A beautiful/comfortable log cabin on Lake Michigan with sandy beach

We spent a week in July at Sommerset. During that whole time we had the beach completely to ourselves. The water was warm enough to swim and if you walked a short way toward Wilderness Park, the lake was as smooth as glass. There were times when it was calm right in front of the cabin, but most days there were waves, which would be fun for older kids. It's a great place to walk, since you can access the park from the beach, a great place to dig in the sand and when you want to get dinner out, Harbor Springs has some great choices. We also went to Macinac Island one day, a nice little day trip from the cabin. There's a fire pit on the beach, too, but we were not permitted to light it because of a fire alert. (We did on our visit last fall, though, and it was awesome.) We went with our grown children (6 adults) and three-year old granddaughter, and everybody slept comfortably and we managed quite well with 2 bathrooms. The cabin is clean and comfortable and I do not think you could find a better location.

I rented the house for my family...my husband and me, my two grown kids with their fiancé's, and their dogs. So comfortable for six people. We really enjoyed the house and the beach. The house offered all the amenities you could want, plus more. We seemed to have the beach to ourselves with only seeing a few people a day here or there. The shallow waters were great for the dogs. It was early June so the water was too cold for us, but later on, I'm sure it would be fine. Yes, there were steps down to the beach as there is along most of Lake Michigan. However, it wasn't bad. My knees did just fine as the two flights were short. I had no problem getting down to the sand. The kids walked along the beach over to Wilderness and climbed the sand dunes you could see from our beach. The beach had a great fire pit area with Adirondack chairs. Very enjoyable. Thank you.

Sommerset is a Great Place to be. We went there early this year and enjoyed everything. Weather, House, Surrounding just beautiful. And the Sonmers: awesome Family. We‘ll be back as soon we find the time.

Greetings Andre, Anja & Family

we loved our stay

We had a great time walking the beach right outside our door and into Wilderness State Park. What fun to be able to run outside to dig in the sand according to the whims of a three year-old and then run back in when she needs a snack or to go potty...takes away all the hassles of car seats, and packing everything under the sun into the car for a quick visit to the beach. Beach walking with the dog was fun for grown ups, too. Fire on the beach at night, a cozy rainy day inside with a fire in the wood stove , and an evening out in Harbor Spring... and after going to sleep to the sound of waves breaking on the shore, it's hard to come home to the city. We found the cabin to be nice and clean and the beds comfortable. The location can simply not be better.
