Excellent, I loved the property. If I could give it more stars, my family and I were really satisfied that we are sure to return our next vacation and if it is possible to stay again in that property I am sure to do so. The property is very relaxing and welcoming for anyone who stays there.
The location is perfect. Close to both Lake Michigan and Stony Lake. The studio apartment was just the right size. The outdoor hangout/eating/firepit was very well done and beautiful. Wonderful, friendly hosts. Hope to stay there again.
Patty was a wonderful host. Great communication throughout the whole process. The property was extremely clean, with easy access and parking. We were also able to rent her dock on Stony Lake to store my pontoon. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting Stony Lake or the sand dunes!
Nice place to sleep just detached to a house that rents out so all those people are around all the time no relaxing time because u share deck but if u need a place to sleep it works

Hello Thomas. Property description includes that patio may need to be shared if cottage is occupied. Unfortunate that you gave this rating because of that. Sorry you were so disappointed.
We needed a place to sleep while we visited family on Stony Lake. It was filled the bill. Clean, safe, excellent communication with the owner. We will book again. Thank you so much.
We ended up in the larger property next door because of a cancelation. It was the perfect place to entertain out large family. Lovely, Clean, well equipped and walking distance to two beaches as well as a store and ice cream. The owners were wonderful.
Patty is amazing, and very easy to communicate with. The property is very pretty, however, not directly on water. I gave a rating of 4 stars, due to the fact it is not right on the water, and also the getting to the property drive off the main road. We came with trucks and trailers as we were going to Silver Lake, and there are a couple of sharp turns to and from the driveway. Overall, a very nice place otherwise!
Had a great time! This home was perfect! Quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbours. The owners were awesome! Actually met them while we were there and enjoyed their company. Hope to stay at this perfect set up again in the future!! Nice to have friendly owners to deal with!!
Can't speak highly enough of this rental and the host!! Patty responded in less than 5min when I had a question. We have a 1 year old daughter and this property and the area surrounding it was perfect for her. SO MANY family friendly activities. Can't wait to return!
Nice patio. Very clean. Short distance to Lake Michigan or Stony Lake. You must see the sunsets on Lake Michigan. The sand dunes are a great attraction. We had a great time! Thanks.
Was perfect for 2 small kids and 3 adults, homeowner was great and answered all my questions! She has just about everything you can think of onsite and had no problem cooking!
