The stay was fantastic and the location is even better than the pictures show. The host is so wonderful by answering any questions we had in a timely manner and even took the kids tadpoles catching. This house is a house we will definitely visit again.

This is the perfect space to relax. The property is amazing. We spent so much time at the beach, enjoying the yard, playing games, and walking the driveway. We're already planning our next stay. The host is wonderful. She's incredibly responsive and was so kind. We will absolutely be back.

Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted that our home was the perfect spot for your relaxing vacation. We're thrilled that your week was nothing short of perfection and hope to welcome you back to our little slice of heaven soon!
Very spacious, beautiful views, kitchen perfect for cooking for a large group. The only negative I found was the beach appeared to be a mix of sand and clay (or over saturated sand) in some spots, but once you got out into the water the sand was great. There had also been a lot of rain around the time of our visit that could have also played a part. The little kids did not seem to mind either way. Family had a great and relaxing stay!

Thank you for the lovely review! I’m so glad your family had a relaxing stay and that the kitchen worked well for your group (it’s one of my favorite parts of the home too). And you’re right the beach can feel a bit softer in spots after heavy rain, but I’m glad the little ones still had fun splashing around! We’d love to host you again anytime.
Overall, this was a very nice place. It was clean, spacious, and well stocked. The driveway is long and set back from the highway, so you don't even hear the highway traffic at all. The only downfall was the weather, which host had no control over! We would love to come back again in summer so we can enjoy the beach & bonfires.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted that you enjoyed the peace, space, and cleanliness of our lakefront getaway. It's great to hear that the location provided the quiet retreat you were looking for. We're sorry the weather didn't cooperate this time, but we'd be thrilled to welcome you back in the summer for some beach fun and cozy bonfires. We hope to see you again soon!
We met from several locations for an extended family trip. The house was GREAT! Fully supplied with everything we needed and then some. Great location with a fantastic private beach. Yard was awesome for family games and gathering and the porch overlooking the water was my favorite way to start every day with a sunrise over the lake. Easy communication with the owners when needed. Great vacation!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a great time and that the home, yard, and beach all came together to make your vacation special. Starting the day with sunrise views over the lake sounds like perfection - it’s one of our favorite parts too! We really appreciated hosting your group and hope to welcome you back again in the future.
House was clean and lake view was beautiful! Ample kitchen utensils, spices and etc to cook and bake as needed. Indoor and outdoor games, kayaking and fire pit were excellent to enjoy family time. Owner had property was great to deal with and responded promptly. Thanks!

Michael thank you for taking the time to leave a review - you and your family are welcome back anytime!
This house is large and very well appointed. Everything we might need was available to us. We enjoyed the yard games, kayaks, fireplace, and ping pong table. We had plenty of space inside for 12 people. The breathtaking lake was visible from so many parts of the house. We enjoyed day trips to Escanaba and Painted Rocks.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house and property were better than the pictures. The beach and water is mostly sand with rock and no issues with swimming. Lots of wildlife. Would recommend. Property owner addressed issued quickly and availBle as needed.

Thank you for the lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that the house and property exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the sandy beach and clear waters. It's great that the wildlife added to your experience, and we appreciate your recommendation. We're glad our property owner was able to assist you promptly. We hope to welcome you back for another great stay on Lake Michigan!
Beautiful and spacious home stocked with everything you could possibly need with lots of room for everyone. Our family of 12 - 2 grandparents, 4 adult children and spouses, and grandchildren all had our own space. So many nice features inside the house - plus the property is very private with your own beach on Lake Michigan. Our host Helen was great - super easy check-in and checkout. Can't say enough good things about the property. Book it!

Appreciate your kind words, Suzanne - please visit us again soon!
our week was chilly, only part of 2 days above 70, did not get to enjoy lake as much as we thought, due to being at the end of a month and the size of the family, wifi was not sufficient for us,

Timothy, so very sorry about the weather but of course something I have No control over. I hope you got to enjoy some of the beauty of the great North.
As far as WIFI, we are still in a rural area that does not have cable/internet yet. I am sorry that it inconvenienced you in anyway.
Thank you for visiting us

This home is perfect! From the well appointed kitchen, to comfortable beds, the outdoor fire place and amazing view. Our family had a wonderful time reconnecting and relaxing before the back to school crazy started. We planned on cooking and this kitchen made it so easy and fun, I loved the stove! The kayaks in the garage were great, though there was only one paddle we could locate, it wasn't an issue. The garage was impeccably clean too! We bbq'd and sat outside at night to enjoy the stars and the Milky Way, something we don't see often at home with the light pollution. There were several "bug reduction units" outside to help with mosquitos (an inevitable visitor when you're outside) and our sensitive skin family members appreciated that. We would stay again and highly recommend Helen's property to anyone looking for a get away with all the comforts and MORE of home. THANK YOU!
