Recent Lake Michigan guest reviews

The condo on Ridge Top was beautiful and perfect for two couples. The amenities were just perfect, the beds very comfortable and the view was splendid. I can highly recommend.
Ali R. | Jun 2026
This is my third time visiting for the Indiana Sand Dunes Birding Festival, and as always this is the perfect place! I have everything I need , the beds are comfortable, the home well stocked, and clean. The host is always so kind, and just as excited as I am about my adventures here! Be sure to check out local places like Tiny’s coffee bar for great food, and drinks! I can’t wait to come back next year!
