There will be an extra fee of $50 per night for any additional guest beyond 5th guest (this helps cover cleaning, linens, septic cost, etc etc. You will only be able to list a maximum of 5 guest when making a reservation for our cozy cabin, thus we need to express the importance of letting us know prior to your arrival via the Airbnb messenger platform how many are in your group.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean with plenty of room for a family of 4. But the location is what we loved: Soft sand beach, shallow sand lake bottom, dark sky nights, beautiful lake breezes.

Thank you for staying with Northern Door Vacations! We hope to have you back as a guest in the future!
The cabin was cozy, extremely clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The view of Lake Michigan was incredible with the best sandy shoreline ever! The owner, Tom, was very friendly and helpful. Anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful, water retreat; This is it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My two young children loved playing in the shallow water and sandy beach! It was also relaxing for us adults to be able to enjoy a morning coffee or evening cocktail while they played on the beach and shoreline. We had a beach fire with s'mores one night and then enjoyed stars and the water gently lapping the shore. So quiet and peaceful! I love that the location is less crowded overall, yet a short drive to everything else. The cabin was adorable, clean, and well-appointed. Tom was an attentive and friendly host. We will definitely return!
