Great little place right on the lake

Wonderful little place on Lake Michigan. Great views and good restaurants in the area. The wood stove was nice on a cool, late spring stay.

The property was extremely close to lake Michigan with direct beach access which was great. Little dated but clean and comfortable. A great place to experience the area from.

Beautiful setting right above the beach. Only issue was upon check-in the room felt and smelled musty. Opening windows and running ceiling fans helped a lot. Nice owners live in adjacent part of home. Wonderful location with lots to experience in the area. Saw 3 bald eagles.

Access to the beach was phenomenal. The accommodations were underwhelming. Bathroom sink was clogged with food, the outdoor shower was not connected to a source of water, and we could hear the residents personal conversations through the walls.

The view was fantastic. The place was outdated. The coffee maker still had coffee in it, and was not cleaned at all. Overall it was a nice place, but it needs updates and a thorough cleaning.

Great place to stay for our fall color drive

We totally enjoyed staying at Gary & Shirley's place. They were hospitable and the place was clean and beautiful right on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed walks on the beach, sitting around the fire at night, and driving to TC. Thank you for sharing this wonderful get-a-way place!

Private room with bath & separate entrance

It felt more like a rented room than a vacation rental; however, the hosts were so kind, the location is beautiful, and I'd come back just to walk the beach again.
