Nice, Peaceful Stay with a Lakeview

Beautiful home and well cared for! We enjoyed the lake view from the inside large open floor plan with lots of windows. Nico loved the large, beautiful enclosed back yard. It’s convenient to have 2 bathrooms too. It would be nice to come back in the warmer months to enjoy that long front porch. The owners were very accommodating and responded quickly. We visited all 3 restaurants they recommended. Great food! Highly recommend this home!!!

Excellent!

This home has everything you are looking for in a rental- we rented it for the large enclosed yard for our two dogs, privacy (lots of room between this home and the neighbors), within minutes of the beach (2 min walk and a tram ride down!), and the open floor plan. The home has everything you need- even a shower in the yard to get the sand off before heading inside. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the spacious deck with incredible views of Lake Michigan and watching the sunset from the front of the home. It’s not often that homes this great are open to having pets join their families on getaways- we will most definitely be coming back!!

Great stay for our small family

We loved the location of this home! Just a few short steps to the tram which takes you down to the most peaceful and beautiful beach! We loved spending time on the lake, and also appreciated the proximity to town. The home and kitchen had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Bonus points for the fenced in yard for our dog!
