Wonderful house. The beach was beautiful. We had everything we needed to have a great time. We have been renting this property for years and plan on staying again next year. The hosts are so responsive. As soon as we arrived the power went out. I contacted the host and she found that it was out along the entire street. She reported it and kept us updated. The outage only lasted an hour or two, which we spent relaxing in the beach. I have stayed in other places and have never had a host as responsive.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful log cabin on Lake Michigan! The cabin itself was gorgeous, cozy, and full of charm, with breathtaking scenic views all around. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind.One of our favorite parts was the private beach — our dogs absolutely loved running and playing there! It made the trip even more special being able to bring them along and enjoy such a peaceful, pet-friendly getaway together.Everything about our stay was wonderful, and we would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing lakeside escape!

This was our 2nd stay at this wonderful cabin. Our boys had been begging to return to "the cabin with a bridge" and were so excited to bring along our family dog. The views are breathtaking and the cabin comes equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had a lovely time playing games, walking on the beach, baking & watching movies. And the hosts are so very kind and thoughtful.This is the perfect place to rest your mind and recharge your sole!

The cabin is always immaculate when we arrive with everything we need. This year, having the drive, the parking area and the walkway up to the cabin freshly plowed and shoveled was so nice. The chocolates were a great touch also!

We had a fantastic stay at the cabin. It is super comfortable and equipped with everything a family could possibly need. It would be especially great for younger kids. My teens were a bit disappointed that the wifi didn't work, but we had a wonderful time anyway. The restaurant across the street has really good food. The kitchen is well equipped for making full meals as well. I'd highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway!

What a wonderful week! We couldn’t have picked a my beautiful place for our stay — the cabin is even better than we imagined. It was so nice to wake up to the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan from our backyard. We all enjoyed the kayaks and fire pits. We’re all glowing from the great time and can’t wait to do it again!
