Great Lakeside Getaway

The property was great, the host was very friendly and helpful, great overall experience! My family and I really enjoyed the property which worked out great for us. The lake views are amazing, the local areas are very quaint and pleasant. The privacy of the property is really nice as well.

Lovely spot!

We loved staying here! The variety of buildings was perfect—the folks with a kid got a quiet place where they could keep a kid routine, and the rest of us had plenty of space to stay up late without bothering them. The lake is beautiful and right down the stairs. I’d definitely stay here again. One thing to note: when this listing says bring your own towels, they mean ALL the towels—beach towels, bath towels, hand towels for the bathroom, dish towels for the kitchen, etc. This wasn’t a big deal, and Paul was able to scare up one towel per person, which we appreciated, but I wanted to give folks a heads up to pack linens.

Expectations Exceeded

I can't even put into words how this place exceeded our expectations. we had a group of ladies ranging from early 20's to early 80's for a 2 night stay (Friday to Sunday). I live in the area, but we decided to book Lat's site un-seen. the owners were so accommodating. randomly checking on us, offering to empty firepit ash, or offer help in the event we needed something moved (firepit, grill, benches). But the property is SO beautiful. We had the majority of our group stay in the smaller cabins, and we congregated in the Lake house for meals and games. we only made it to the private secluded beach once, because it was so rainy. The grounds were big enough for some people to place bocce ball in one area, and hang out at the firepit on the bluff, and others grilling and laughing by the lake house at the same time. all of my guests can't wait to figure out another weekend for us to go back! This is definitely a hidden gem in SW Michigan.

Just perfect!

We stayed in the larger house on the property and it was clean, spacious, well-situated - just perfect for the 5 of us - for sleeping, board game playing, cooking. The size of the lawn, chairs with view of the lake, and tire swing were an added bonus. The beach was beautiful, sandy, very private. Jenny has plenty of chairs, floats, rafts available at the bottom of the stairs. The stairs were very doable, with several benches along the way to rest if needed. Really just what we were looking for in a family get-away.
