Great house with beautiful yard + beach on Lake Michigan

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this home in June. It was perfect for gathering with our small group of family. The views of the lake our outstanding - even in the smoky conditions we had. The beach is beautiful + not too far of a journey down the steps to get there. The house was very comfortable and had everything that we needed for a relaxing vacation. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs on the main level and a large suite downstairs. Tons of toys for the kids to play with too:) The host was helpful and responsive. Thank you again for opening your home to us. We hope to stay again!

What a place!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The online pictures were spot on with what we experienced. The outdoor space, view and easy access to the private beach meant we spent most of our time outside during daylight hours either playing games with the kids or just looking out over the lake. We spent 10 days here and we did not get bored with the view at all, it was glorious. The house itself was extremely well decorated and maintained, especially loved the open plan kitchen / lounge. We had a couple of very minor house issues that the owners responded to and dealt with ASAP. We absolutely loved our stay, thankyou!

Fantastic Lake Michigan Home

We were a group of 8: 4 kids ages 6, 8, 10, and 12 and 4 adults (2 in their late 30's and 2 in their late 60's). The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were all comfy. Having a living room on the main floor and another space on the lower level was great! We could let the kids be kids and enjoy the lower level while the living room remained tidy. The dining table was large enough for all of us to sit together for meals. The deck over looking the lake has comfy seating and is a great place to view those terrific sunsets. Heather was very prompt at answering any questions we had. I highly recommend this beautiful home.

Great Vacation Summer 2023

We had a great time at this Lake Michigan Summer Fun Home! Our vacation lived up to the name of this wonderful place! Our family of 6 (4 adults, an 11 year old and a 14 year old) spent the week putting together puzzles, playing badminton, enjoying the lake, and just relaxing. We were able to use the paddleboard and the inner tubes we brought with us almost every day. We walked the beach quite a distance each way looking for rocks and beach glass. We were able to enjoy some beach and swim time every day, even on the cloudy ones! We saw a few beautiful sunsets during the week too! We enjoyed a few of the local restaurants and a nightly treat of ice cream. The guys were even able to go salmon fishing one day and caught nine big ones! We'll be enjoying those for a few weeks! We truly enjoyed our stay! It was a fun time to end the summer! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place and location with us!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Barker

Host profile image
I’m from beautiful Manistee! I have always known about our wonderful beaches and have made years of memories with long walks the on beach and watching stunning sunsets. I wouldn’t trade anything for that!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this lovely lake home because of the beauty of it being tucked away in the woods, away from any traffic with only the sounds of nature and the waves washing up on the shore. Driving down the winding wooded driveway to the home gives the feeling of “getting away from it all.” No words describe relaxing on the decks and not having a care on your mind. We hope to share that same feeling with our friends, family and guests.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique in that it has an expansive yard for outside play, steps that take you down to the beach and a large sandy beach waiting to be enjoyed!
