This property had everything provided, from a stroller to designated towels for the hot tub. There was plenty of silverware, plates, and cups. Plenty of parking as well.

The beach was full of metal pipes. Not safe for children at all! Very disappointed with the beach. The Home was nice with the hot tub and fire pit. Kitchen a bit dated. House was clean which was good.

We're glad you enjoyed Fort Sassafras, including the home, hot tub, fire pit, and cleanliness. We do want to clarify for future guests that the beach mentioned in this review is a shared association beach and is not owned or controlled by the homeowner or our management company. Due to ongoing shoreline erosion, two pipes are visible in one area of the beach, which can be seen in the beach photos included in our listing. The association provides more than 1,000 feet of beach access, so guests are welcome to use the other areas of the beach as well.

Amazing and Relaxing Stay

The property is great, everything we needed. A short walk from the beach and a great place to watch a sunset over lake Michigan. Coming from Wisconsin we have only been able to see sunrises over the lake so this was excellent. The only drawback and it is every so slight, is just the distance from the check in location to the property (15minutes) which normally wouldn't be a problem but after 5 hours we just wanted to get out of the car.

Mostly great

The cabin was perfect and clean. The hot tub was great The company was easy to contact and responded quickly. It was however, inconvenient to have to drive 20 minutes past our rental to the office just to copy my driver's license. The cabin is also about a 5 min walk to the 80 very steep stairs down to the private beach. Be advised if you have any limitations.

Thank you for your kind words about the cabin, cleanliness, and our team’s responsiveness! We’re so glad you enjoyed the hot tub and your stay overall. We understand that stopping by the office can feel inconvenient, but our insurance requires us to obtain a copy of a valid photo ID before check-in. We try to make the process as quick as possible and truly appreciate your understanding. Thank you for mentioning the beach access as well—it’s a beautiful spot but does involve a stair climb, so your note will help future guests plan ahead. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The house was amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone going to this location. Downtown Sauagatuck was about 15 minutes away, but good enough to still go and walk around, but also far enough away to enjoy the camp life, cabin style! The only downfall was the check-in process, you do have to drive into town first to check in at the realtor office and then drive to the house.. so after driving for a few hours, we just wanted to be there and not make more stops! Other than that, our experience was amazing and the staff was GREAT and very Attentive to their customers.
