My husband and I rented the house for a vacation with our children and adult grandchildren. The house was nice and big. The beach was awesome. The main problem we had was mice. We went and got traps and poison. Contacted the manager of the property and she contacted the owner to get an exterminator out. We waited for the exterminator. He put out a few traps, poison and plugged some holes. We still washed anything we took out of the kitchen cabinets and drawers before we used them. You never knew when you would see one. We did the best we could with the situation and yes it did hamper our stay. When you pay their price for your stay, you don’t expect to have to deal with mice. I personally did not hear one word from the owner.

Wonderful house on the beach

This house is beautiful with so much space, a fabulous deck and a huge kitchen. It's difficult to list all the amenities. Gorgeous private beach and easy path to get there. We particularly enjoyed the swing looking out over the lake.

Great beach vacation house

Overall only wonderful things to say. Property is as described and easy to work with owner/manager. House right on beach, very secluded and great for a family getaway. 5 min from town and plenty of local points of interest. Would highly recommend for a family trip to the beach or just to get away.

Amazing home on Lake Michigan

Beautiful home with modern amenities. Right on Lake Michigan with your own private beach. We felt like we were on the ocean with the sound of the waves. Definitely will book again in the future. The sunsets were breathtaking on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake. Plenty of space for family and/or friends.

Great Family Vacation getaway!

Fabulous home with modern conveniences throughout. Right on Lake Michigan with your own private beach. The check-in process and walk through by the building manager was quick and very efficient. The rooms were large, the house was clean and the open main floor was great for hanging out and playing games. There was more than enough space for family and friends. The whole house sound system was extraordinary – piping our favorite music throughout the house. The sunsets were beautiful from the beach, fire pit or deck overlooking the lake. We are looking forward booking again in the future.

Thank you so much! You know how much a personal review means these days, so I am really grateful for you taking the time. But, not just for future guests, it is also satisfying for us to know our work and prep is appreciated. There is a lot involved in maintaining the property so it's very important to know what is working and what might need improvement. I hope you return on a future vacation, that of course would be a great complement! You were wonderful guests (as I mentioned after your check out) we could tell you treated our home as you would your own by the way you left it so clean and tidy. Thank you again for that.

Great space, quiet beach

We really enjoyed the open kitchen and dining area, made visiting and socializing very enjoyable. The bath rooms are large and bright. The LL space works well for a privacy or kids. Grant access to the beach about 30 steps, sweet swing and fire pit. Lots of windows, many trees give shade and limit lake view. Positives well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, nice deck, beautiful beach Negatives windows need cleaning, TLC, light switches, only 4 chairs on deck, no table on deck( we brought one)
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar, 2020
Thank you for the thoughtful review of our property. Your four star ranking is appreciated! There are a lot of windows! Many that are an extreme cleaning challenge, even so it was on my "to do" list this year and I did not get it done in time for the summer season. I'm sorry as that clearly detracted from your stay. But, I am so glad you appreciated the open floor plan, private tranquil beach and fun of the fire pit area. Thank you again for your comments, it really helps us improve our accommodations and better meet expectations. I hope your stay was enjoyable.

Where Little Footprints in the Sand Can Last Forever

I will often reflect on Bridgman Dunes, and of my not yet 2yr old grandsons with unadulterated joy in their smiles as we skipped smooth stones across the rolling waves and tossed small crumbs into the air to the cackling delight of both seagulls and child. The tiny footprints that the boys left in the wet sand are already long gone, but the memories that we made during a magical autumn weekend will last forever. Everything about this home and its setting are simply incredible. The interior of the house is stunning, from the warmth of the open main floor, with jaw-dropping views from every angle, to the attention to detail that makes the house feel like your home. Every sq ft of the house has been put to perfect use, resulting in a spacious spread of accomodations offering privacy on three levels coupled with intimate gathering places for conversations, a movie, or a board game...the stuff of family memories and reminiscences of a time in our lives we would all like to get back to. The privacy of 10 wooded acres with the waves breaking just below the shaded back deck, make this an idyllic spot. An easy drive from New Buffalo or Saugatuck, I parked my car on Friday and forgot it was there for the weekend. Where would we go that is as beautiful as this spot? Whether reading a story to a toddler in the glow of the fireplace, or coming down to the kitchen to the sound of laughter in the morning, every day spent in this wonderful setting was a handful of memories waiting to be made. Leave the doors open at night and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves, take the steps down to the wooden swing for a spectacular sunset, and leave your shoes at the bottom of the stairs for a walk through powdery sand, but take a camera. The views evoke the Pacific coast, and the quiet is so loud that you can hear it. Having fallen in love with this property, it is very hard to leave, but we are choosing not to be sad. Instead, we have promised ourselves that we will return often, making Bridgman Dunes our family's gathering spot. Where little footprints in the sand, even as they become larger with the passing of each year, never really wash away with the next wave. They last forever.

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt review of The Bridgman Dunes. It brought tears to my eyes remembering my own children growing up at the beach and the joy we experienced with family and friends. I'm impressed at how you were able to put into words how my family and I have felt so often over the years about our time at the lake. Feedback like yours reaffirms our decision to offer our home for rent, it was not easy to give up our privacy this way. The location and the setting is so special and unique, I love to hear stories like yours where I feel I am sharing the joy! Please come again, it is the greatest compliment to have families return for a future vacation. Marge Johnson Owner, Bridgman Dunes

Comfort and Class with a View

Immediately upon pulling up to Bridgman Dunes, we knew we were in for a special trip. After traversing a path deep into the woods, suddenly we found a unique, spacious home perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. A fenced-in porch overlooked the view through the trees, and the porch itself was decorated with small lamps, an outdoor shower, homemade signs, and various chairs to enjoy the scenery. Once inside, we found a vaulted living room and dining room, complete with bay windows and bisected by a four-sided fireplace. This vaulted area became the hub of the indoor portions of our vacation, and backed by the kitchen and a screened-in porch holding the grill, we had everything we needed within arms reach. The basement is a fully furnished apartment complete with a kitchen, multiple bedrooms, and laundry. The upstairs has a theater room and two master suites with king size beds, private bathrooms, and balconies. Outside, a walking path leads halfway down to the beach and dovetails into the the fire pit area (complete with porch swing), which provides an unobstructed view of the lake from an ideal vantage point. Use this for sure - just make sure to watch your step in the dark (turn on the floodlights to help this). The beach itself is absolutely gorgeous, providing a good deal of sand and a curving coastline covered in greenery and dunes. This is why you come out to Bridgman instead of New Buffalo - no apartment buildings, high rises, or harbors - just unobstructed coastline leading into the Warren Dunes State Park, which is a completely deserted beach even devoid of homes. What's more - you'll be close to Harbor Country's many wineries, as well as a good deal of fun restaurants, stores, and bars. The house itself was clean and impeccably prepared, and we were met promptly by the manager, who was available for any issues. Overall, we'll certainly be back - this trip couldn't have been better!

This is one of the few times that our experience exceeded our expectations. Is is a large, well laid out house. I would only say that a few light switches were hard to find and a shower head or two could be replaced. But that is very minor. The property was a "Win" for us.

Be Lulled to Sleep by the Sound of Waves

We were a blended family of Grandparents, 2 sons, a daughter-in-law and twin 9 year old grandsons. There was plenty of room for everyone to have privacy and for gathering together. Inside and outside it is a wonderful home and in a beautiful setting. It's very woodsy, making it a little difficult to see the lake, but boy could you hear it! So soothing. The owner and property manager were extremely responsive throughout our stay. Other guests mentioned mosquitoes being bad, but we never had a problem with them. As stated in the house info, the internet and cell service does come and go, but it usually worked just fine for us and was not a problem. We loved our stay at Bridgman Dunes and would return in the future!

The house was great and the beach was perfect. We spent hours in the water which was in the 70's, sometimes calm and sometime with waves. We were just together all the time which is what we wanted---highly recommend

Quiet, private and lovely!

Beautiful home - great location - tons of windows and light filled the home - sits just above the beach where you can hear the waves. Short walk down the stairs to perfect private beach. Couldn’t sit outside due to tons of mosquitoes - home sits in middle of trees in the woods which was nice for shade facing west but way too many mosquitoes. Otherwise a wonderful home and great response by owner and property manager.

What a glorious week!

The property manager and owner were wonderful to work with. Very accessible and easily contacted. Home is beautiful on a lovely and very private setting. Our weather was perfect the whole week and the lake was actually warm! We had very young children - there was a play closet with ample toys, a play loft and lots of sand/beach toys in the garage for them. Very nice house for kids. Large well appointed kitchen, meals were a breeze. We loved every minute of our stay.

Incredible property. Water was sublime, clean and warm. Property was clean and had something for everybody. Plenty of space. Perfect escape for these crazy times. Secluded, but still close enough to grocery stores. Only downside was the internet. It was serviceable, but very slow 😕.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Although, we cannot take credit for the beauty of Lake Michigan, we do think our location is unique. Because of our wonderful secluded location our internet options are limited and data needs keep getting higher and higher. I call every month or so hoping they have a solution for me. I ordered a WiFi extender as they recommended on my last call, so we'll see if that helps. But, I am sorry about that it is very annoying.

A memorable vacation!

Our week spent at Bridgman Dunes was a wonderful experience for my family! My husband and I, our son and wife and five year old grandson, our daughter and her husband and five and three year old grandsons settled in to this beautiful home and property and loved every moment. We were sad to leave and our grandsons now refer to it as "our beachhouse". They have repeatedly asked when we are going back! I wish I could share the videos of the boys running and playing on the beach and frolicking in the water. Having this private beach, not having to pack up beach gear and kids and drive to a public beach, was a tremendous benefit. And the secluded and private setting with no neighbors in sight was wonderful. The house is beautiful with so many custom features. The ample size and placement of bedrooms and baths were so accommodating for our group. We made good use of the huge kitchen and the abundance of tableware, utensils, etc. Our little boys loved the loft area and were so imaginative in finding uses for it. We did not have to contact the property manager one time as we encountered no problems whatsoever. I have used many superlatives in my review because this property definitely falls into an elite category! And I must share this occurrence..... about 45 minutes after we departed on our last day I received a text message that some articles of clothing had been found in one of the bedroom dresser drawers. And pictures of these items were included. My daughter has missed these in her packing. The sender asked if we could swing back to pick them up, but we were too far on our drive to return. So I told them I would send a check to reimburse them if they could mail them to my daughter. To my surprise they simply asked for an address and said they would be happy to cover the mailing cost. How sweet is that!? I did not begin my search for a place for our family vacation until late spring and I am just delighted that this property had one week available the entire summer and that week fit our schedule! If you chose to spend time here you will not be disappointed!

50th Anniversary Celebration

It was a wonderful get away for all our family, celebrating 5th and 50th Anniversaries and Father’s Day. There were 9 members of our family who hadn’t been together for six months. The Lake House was a great place to cook together, play games, do puzzles and just laugh and have a fun time reconnecting.

This house was absolutely perfect for our multi-family vacation this past summer! Great location and close to many attractions!
