Recent Lake Michigan guest reviews

This home had everything we needed for the perfect stay. We had five adults and six kids ages 13 to 10 months. The layout was perfect for each family to have their own space but large enough for us to be together as a family. It’s located perfectly to all of the attractions and close to downtown. It had everything from kayaks to conditioner. The garage is not pictured, but is spotless and has ping-pong and basketball. A good place for the kids to hang out. The yard is large and is fenced in with play structure & fire pit. We loved the large window in the living room and often saw deer. Quiet neighborhood .We will certainly be back.

Location to beach, bike trails and Glen Arbor, +friendly host! Size of space was perfect for 2 people or a couple with a kid +/-.
Carolyn B. | Jun 2025
We rented this property because we had a family wedding in the area. We had 85 yr olds to 16 month old. The layout was perfect! The location couldn’t have been better - close to everything we needed.
