What a beautiful view of lake Michigan! The house is small and a comfortable stay. But read the description well. There is no internet which means apparently no TV. The access to the lake is down about 200 very steep steps. But really worth it for the virtually private beach. We would revisit this property. The property owner & management company were very responsive to our needs when called.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. The modem has been replaced and the WiFi is up and running. A smart TV is ready for streaming entertainment. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
