My family of 8 enjoyed spending the week at Windy Ridge --when the description says it is secluded, they certainly aren't exaggerating! We enjoyed having the surrounding forest, house, and beach front to ourselves the entire week. This house comes with everything you would need, and I would go as far as to say it is the best stocked beach house we have ever stayed in. There is a gas and charcoal grill, wifi, satellite television (though, I didn't turn on the t.v. the entire week), and drawers full of utensils and small items you might need, but would have never thought to bring. We found flashlights in the pantry for our nightly trips down to see the sunset as well. (Thanks for those!) The beach was as secluded as you can get --we maybe saw six people the entire trip. My favorite part of the house was the screened-in porch. Sitting out there every morning and night, we really enjoyed being surrounded by the trees without the bugs! There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do there own thing. South Haven is a short drive to the North, though I have to admit, we really didn't leave the house/beach much. My husband and I went for several long runs down the fire lane and out onto M63 --scenic and challenging on the way back up!
I would recommend this place for anyone looking to truly get away. Must be a little adventurous --the path can be tricky when wet, and there are ticks to look out for. A little bug spray and some moxy keeps that away! Dog owners looking to bring their dogs will find this place to be perfect! My two dogs were so exhausted at the end of each day, they put themselves to bed!
Marty --thank you so much for the opportunity to visit Windy Ridge! We would love to come back next summer!
