Reviewer Comments:
We have now stayed a Sleepy Hollow each of the last 5 years. Due to rising water levels on Lake Michigan, the beautiful beach that we enjoyed (and did not mind paying a premium for)has completely eroded away. The property offers many other positive experiences for our family, such as the large beautiful pool, the structured kids activities staffed by counselors, kids playground and bicycles and the privacy and security of staying inside the Sleepy Hollow gates. We had a nice week, however the private beach used to be the greatest benefit to our family. Public beaches in the area are still abundant, however much less convenient, much more crowded, and more stressful with small children. I would say that a price adjustment is in order as a result of the change in beach availability. It was noticeable that resort occupancy was lower this year than at the same time of previous years. If you were coming for the beach, you are probably shopping VRBO for a place closer to a public beach at this point. Regarding our specific unit, it was a nice two bedroom place that met our needs. The kitchen was very nice and laundry was available in unit. Some of the furniture could be improved. Suggestions would be bunk beds in the second bedroom and new stools for the breakfast bar (current stools appeared to be unsturdy so we placed them in a closet for the week and did not allow the children to use them). A gas grill would also be nice, it would be cleaner and our kids are not used to the smoke and flavor of charcoal.
