Great amenities & convenient

Great home & nice area. Everything was super clean upon arrival & so many neat things inside & around the home, this house had a lot to offer! The back deck & little private beach area with the fire pit & the views that came with that made this spot that much better. Frankfort & Manistee are not far away either which was also convenient. Tons to do within the area, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

wonderful location

There could not be better views of Lake Michigan, or a better beach. This is just a wonderful place. The place is very thoughtfully set up, from the hose for washing off sandy feet to the kitchen to having plenty of towels. It was as described-- "rustic"-- so don't be surprised by that.

Blissful!

The sunsets and beach combing were AMAZING!! Could not have asked for a better location for all of the outdoor activities we love to enjoy. Each day we hiked, went rock hunting, took the boardwalk looking to expand our bird-list, walked to the lighthouse in Frankfort, visited the art gallery there, and mostly just chilled. We hope to return soon.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the quintessential rustic Lake Michigan cottage. Amazing views and only a staircase down to the beach. We will be back next year and for a longer stay. Perfect location that isn’t too populated and just 15 minutes from Frankfort or Beulah to enjoy a meal out or grab groceries to cook in.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Being right on the lake the views are absolutely amazing. It was the most wonderful place to watch the sunsets over the lake. The house was clean and had a nicely equipped kitchen and bathroom. Previous reviews, stating that this house is "rustic" are not exaggerated. Our trip was apparently toward the end of the usable season, as the winds coming off the lake were quite strong and very cold. Although this is not in the control of the rental company, with the lack of seals on doors, windows and areas of the walls, it was a struggle to keep the house warm, even with electric heaters that were placed around the house. Because of the location and the views, I would recommend this property to a friend, with the caveat that this time of year may not be the most ideal because of the lack of insulation.

Disappointed

This is a cute cabin. However, the photos make it seem like you have direct access to the beach - not via a steep, origami staircase. This unfortunately, kept me from enjoying the actual feel of the beach. :(( So I sat on the floating deck which is now enclosed and enjoyed the view from above. Also, both of our dogs couldn’t descend the stairs as well. I don’t know if the owners have been there yet or property management, but it could use a once over (new light bulbs, doors don’t open/ close all the way, fireplace doesn’t work which they left a heater in lieu for). All in all, the stay was a nice rustic, relaxing treat - even if I didn’t walk on the beach. ;)

Hidden Gem of Lake Michigan

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There isnt enough space to adequately review this DARLING little cabin. If you want a fancy place this is not the place for you! The house reminded me of summer camp be on Lake MI was our dream and we certainly had that know we were not getting in a car to go to the beach each day was priceless.....there is PLENTY to do in the area too if folks like to go on day trips.. time we might bring our boat....we brought our paddleboard and enjoyed using it in the beautiful sandy beach....we chose to stay pretty close and mainly go to hiking trails and golf and dine out a couple times.We are mainly beach people so this satisfied that aspect. We cooked in every night but once and found the kitchen to be well stocked with needed items...We might suggest that there could be a table on the deck for outdoor dining....mostly we sat overlooking the water eating off our laps because we didnt want to miss a minute of not seeing the lake! Also, very quiet..met friendly renters and owners along the beach as well.If you love beach hiking you can go for miles!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 2nd year in renting the 'Cabin". Wow. What a find. We are in LOVE. Being RIGHT on Lake Michigan means everything to us AND having a pet friendly rental just really is a score for us. As long-time renters in northwest MI this place exceeds the view of the lake, the beauty of being on the BIG lake. The cabin itself is terrific. Now mind you, we enjoy rustic with no TV or a/c. Right up our alley. We cook most every meal in and the and we were very satisfied with the kitchen equipment and space in which to serve and prepare meals. When we arrived it was very hot but a fan and extra bedding was brought to us(we stayed 2 weeks) So much beach hiking, trail hiking, golfing, bike riding AND we brought out boat and kept it in town at the marina.Our ONLY concern this year was: is the beach area frontage for the property ours and private? We know ANYONE can walk a shoreline. We unfortunately had to share the beach area with a neighboring cottage and we were a bit surprised about that. We spoke with management because the property should either be noted as PRIVATE beach or SHARING with next door neighbors.( shared with no one last year) Otherwise, this place is a winner in our book! Happy and grateful we could had the opportunity to be there.

Love the deck with chairs up high for sunset viewing.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is rustic! The kitchen works well. But the futons are strange. It’s not cozy like a couch. No washer/dryer, so we found a laundromat in Onekema. Great beach !

The small cottage was very clean had a lot of character and the views of the Lake were amazing. Having your own private beach was great. Also having most of the beach to the North being uninhabited and available for walks was awesome. Hidden gem this cottage is. It is rustic so no a/c and we were there for a couple hot nights so that was only downside. Other than that the place is great. We will def be back

We loved the rustic cottage. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, plenty of towels, great hot water tank. No TV, but had good internet service. It was just a short distance to the small deck overlooking the lake. A stairway led to the fire pit and then a few more steps to the beach. The sunsets were beautiful.

Great beach vacation

We had the best time at this cute cabin on Lake Michigan for the 4th of July week. The place itself is exactly how it’s described and is a perfect location for a beach vacation. We did zero day trips (grew up on lake MI and have been to almost every place on the west side, if you have not, then it’s a perfect place for day trips). The neighbors were fantastic, very friendly which is great because the houses are close. We will definitely be back. It was exactly what we were looking for on a relaxed vacation. Very clean, full of books (good ones too!), games and the kitchen was well stocked with what you need to cook.
