Recent Lake Michigan guest reviews

This was the perfect place for our multi-generation family getaway. The beautiful property provided a lovely setting for outside gatherings and games in the yard, while the spacious inside provided plenty of room for everyone to sleep, eat together, and to play games and relax. Everything was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed cooking together in the well equipped kitchen, but also found fun local places nearby to go out to eat. We also found the area to be convenient to some good hiking. We definitely plan to return during the summer months so we can take advantage of the outdoor pool and deck area, as well as some more lakeside activities! Thank you for sharing your lovely home :)
