Property was very clean, plenty of towels and extra blankets and the view was SPECTACULAR. One thing to note is there is no dish washer but the host provided everything needed to clean the dishes and it did not affect our stay. There is a very cool screened in porch as well. Close to Port Washington and Sheboygan.

Week of July 4th Family Vacation

Julie’s house was wonderful! Fantastic, charming property, beautiful views of the lake. Tidy home with nice kitchen and living room should fit most families needs, she has a wonderful fire pit for evenings watching the lake. Communication with Julie was easy and attentive. She gave nice recommendations for the area. Would recommend checking out the local state parks as they were exceptional managed!

Great getaway vacation stay

Perfect location for an extended-family getaway -- each family had a bedroom (we have smalls, so beds weren't an issue), and the views are unbelievable. Even with crummy weather and an extremely high water level at the lake, we managed to have a great time.

Thank you Jean for your kind positive review! I am so pleased you were happy with the home and your family had a super time! The lake is a beautiful awesome force for sure. The levels rise and fall like clock work. Thankfully recorded level history which dates back to 1918 shows we are in for the reversal now. :). :) :) Your family was awesome, I really was thankful on how nice you kept the home thank you very much. I recommend Jean K. to ther home owners who rent on VRBO. Julie Owner

A gorgeous little respite

The property is amazing - a beautiful spot right on Lake Michigan with gorgeous sunrises and calming waves. The house itself is a grand specimen of mid-century lake houses and I'm jealous of the owner! Julie obviously loves her home and I'm so glad she shared it with us.

Julie’s place was fun, relaxing and a wonderful hideaway for a birthday. Really cool furniture and fully supplied kitchen for fun at the house. Or plenty of nice restaurants in nearby Sheboygan. Enjoy the deck directly on the beach with awesome sunrises and beautiful late night star gazing.

The best location and best views

My family really appreciated the quiet location and being steps away from the beach. The deck is perfect for those who want to be on the beach but not in the sand. The house offers water views from 5 rooms- impressive for a one story home.The layout of the home is really nice for connecting with others yet offers space too: two living rooms, large kitchen for multiple cooks, a delightful dining room, and two full baths. The home is tastefully adorned reflecting its mid century architecture.Thank you Julie for a lovely stay!

Why they chose this property

This is a diamond in the rough find. 2 hours north of Chicago, 30 minutes north of Milwaukee and you are in paradise. Private, quiet place to kick back and relax. The lake is absolutely beautiful and right off the deck. You will enjoy a beautiful natural view from every room. Nighttime is super special. Look up and you will see stars like never before. If you are lucky enough to land on the full moon, consider yourself VERY lucky. It is a sight to behold. This is not a "cottage" it is a year-round comfortable home for your family to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Private home on beautiful Lake Michigan. 3 level deck right on the water. No cliff, no steep stairs to get to the water. Beautiful private yard with huge cedar trees that block the neighbors to the north and the south. My home is a short 30 minutes to Milwaukee, and only 15 minutes to Kohler and Terri Andre Park to the north. If you are looking for "action" this is not the home for you. If you are looking to chill and relax you have picked the perfect home.
