This place was perfect for our family vacation in northern Michigan. The kitchen is amazing; very user friendly. We cooked dinner almost every evening. The bedrooms were very comfortable. Everyone had plenty of space and each of my girls had their own bathroom, which was not absolutely necessary, but certainly made them very happy. The house is close to two other houses, but the trees between the houses kept things private. People were generally pretty quiet, which we appreciated very much. The access to the beach is just a little walk over the dune. The beach is beautiful, not crowded at all. You only see people from the houses close by. The lake is clear and cold! But I got used to it. We rented a Kayak and a SUP. We were able to use both when the wind died down and in the evening when the lake was calmer. We so enjoyed our stay here, reading on the back deck or on the beach. We did day trips to Harbor Springs, Indian River, and Mackinaw Island. I would stay here again in a heart beat. I didn't want to leave. Thank you to our host who had such a lovely place for us to stay. Our host was very responsive and answered my questions.
