We had a wonderful stay at the Sweet Retreat property! It was the perfect house to spend quality time together as a family. The location is fantastic, offering an easy and quick walk to both the pool and Lake Michigan. The host was very easy to communicate with, and the home provided everything we needed for a memorable trip. We would love to come back!

This is a fantastic property - clean, well maintained and with everything you could need to have a wonderful stay. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay easier and included thoughtful touches like bug spray, extra sunscreen, and even included the wristbands and parking passes. It was a delight from beginning to end - we will definitely stay again and highly recommend Sweet Retreat!

Perfect house for multiple families. Everyone had their own space and such great common area space. We had 8 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of room. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen to cook all the meals and was so nice to have a table that fit us all. We had such a great stay and made lifelong memories!
