Always Excellent and Wonderful

We returned to this vacation home after a couple of years and I’m so glad we did. The setting is beautiful, the house well cared for and appointed, and we were blessed with glorious weather. This is one of favorite places to stay, lots of space, lots of privacy if you need it. The kitchen has everything you need and everything works.We come with our family, all adults, and one very good boy. The private beach is easily accessible, although it’s a lot of stairs. The beach has tons of beach chairs and tables. Kayaks if you’re interested. I can’t say enough good things about this vacation home. The hosts are excellent and appropriately attentive and they continue to upgrade the property and amenities. It’s our favorite place to stay in western Michigan and would highly recommend this rental.

Perfect

Another fantastic vacation at a true vintage gem! We loved the superbly stocked house, enjoyed the sipping-hummingbird porch, lazed on the private beach that had great chairs and fun boats to use! The owners of this place have thought of every detail- beach towels, good kitchen stuff, outdoor dog bowls, etc. We cannot wait to spend another week here next summer- it's just a magic place.

Comfy Cabin

Was very nice staying at the log cabin. Views of the water were great from the backyard and a very quick walk down the stairs to the large beachfront with very soft sand. House was clean and well appointed. Fun game room in the basement and lots of places to sit throughout. Would stay here again. Thanks so much Barb and Bruce!

Wonderful winter get away!

This is our second time staying at the log house ! After my 30 yr old son passed away in November of 2021 I needed to get away. This was perfect. A uniquely beautiful, peaceful, spacious and welcoming sanctuary. Gorgeous snow covered trees, the sound of waves, sunsets over lake views. We also appreciated the well stocked kitchen, fireplace supplies and comfortable bed. Thank you for sharing this special sanctuary with others.

Relaxing with a great view

The location was spectacular and the log home was unique and fun to explore. We all loved the backyard and spent a lot of time there playing with our grandson. The one issue we had was the condition of the steps leading to the beach. They need repairs and are missing the last few steps to the sand which makes it tricky to actually get to the beach.

Beautiful and Relaxing

The log home property was perfect for our purposes. Our goal was to relax and celebrate our belated anniversary (with our pups) and this property didn't disappoint. The view of Lake Michigan was amazing from inside the home, on the covered porch, and from the yard. Each morning we had breakfast on the covered porch, which was a lovely was to start the day even in the rain. There were neighbors on one side (closer than I'd expected) but we hardly knew they were there. It didn't distract us or our dogs from relaxing and truly enjoying the property. Each day I enjoyed walking the property, taking in the unique architecture, the beautiful gardens, quiet and calming water feature, and local memorabilia throughout the home. It was a great experience, location, and time of year for us to truly relax and unplug. The log home was well-stocked. I overpack, in preparation for anything and was happy to see there were little things like a can opener, bottle opener, shampoo & conditioner, hair dryer, etc. available. Barb reached out a few times, not in an intrusive way but simply to check on us and make sure all was well and let us know to reach out if we needed anything. This was welcome and a comfort to know she & Bruce were available if needed. We had a fabulous experience and certainly would consider coming back here again, which says a lot as we've never rented the same place twice (just prefer to experience different areas) along the great lakes.

Charming Lakeside Log Cabin

We stayed for a week during March for Spring Break to visit with family. The house is very charming and well laid out. There is plenty of room to spend time together in the kitchen, dining, and living room areas. The fireplace is a lovely place to spend time on colder nights and we had a few! I imagine it would still be great for colder summer nights, too. The lower level bedrooms each have their own bathrooms, there is a main house bathroom near the kitchen, and the two upstairs rooms share a bathroom on the main level. There are plenty of bathrooms even for a group 8 friends to share. There is no bathroom upstairs, and these two rooms are best for children or younger people without mobility issues. The basement is fully functional with games and lounge areas and can be easily used for lounging and games. It is not weird or musty as many basements are. It also has a full sized washer and dryer which was very helpful. It was winter so we couldn’t use the beach and don’t know if there are beach towels or beach chairs but we did see outdoor chairs for the fire pit and kayaks on the beach so I assume it would have all of those things to make the beach use very easy and convenient. Parking is easy for multiple cars. There is an incline to access the front door so I don’t know how suitable this would be for anyone with mobility issues. If you are a light sleeper I would recommend white noise or ear plugs as it’s a log cabin and very open so noise does travel. I highly recommend for price, convenience, layout, and comfort and hope to stay again!

As we were looking for a Lake Michigan property, we came across this log cabin. Something about it just attracted us to it. We were not disappointed! From driving down the winding, wooded drive to going into the spacious log cabin; we all fell in love with it. We appreciated the many sitting spaces and enjoyed looking at all the unique decor. We spent a lot of time on the covered back porch. It was a relaxing place to hear the waves, talk, have our coffee, and feel the cool breeze. A nice surprise for the teens was the game room in the basement. The house has lots of shelf and counter space to work and display snacks. We were a little concerned about not having air conditioning, but there was always a breeze and the nights cooled down. We had many campfires around the fire pit. The backyard is huge with many sitting areas and is a great place to see the beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed the closeness of the Red Rooster Tavern, and walked there several times for meals. The beach was the best! The owners provide everything needed for an afternoon in the sun. The owner always responded within minutes to any text we sent. We made some wonderful memories here.

The epitome of beautiful lakeside cabins

Great location! Easy to get to, but also semi-private. Gorgeous 1930’s log cabin home that retains plenty of its original charm with many modern amenities and comforts! We just completed our third consecutive rental of this cabin for the third consecutive year. We are college roommates and friends that get together annually in midwinter. Barb is an excellent, easy to reach and accommodating host. So kind and so responsive if you have questions before, during or after your stay. We hope to continue re ting for years to come and we appreciate Barb and family making their beautiful home available to us! 5 stars for sure! Thank you!

Family Getaway

We loved our stay! This property is so well appointed; they’ve thought of everything. Lots of dishes and stocked kitchen so we had fun preparing meals and eating together at the large dining room table overlooking the lake. Kayaks and paddle boards were a nice addition for impromptu voyage into the lake. Great for bonfires. Steps to upstairs are a little tricky to navigate for older family members and pets.

Spectacular!

This property was outstanding! It absolutely met our needs for a family vacation. The house was super clean and was well stocked with pantry items, towels for bath and beach, beach activities, and more. My first view of Lake Michigan as I rounded the side of the house literally took my breath away. Our group was all over 70 years old, so the stairs to the beach were a little daunting, but most of us managed at least one or two trips down them. I truly did not want to leave at week’s end! Barb was so nice to work with and very quick to respond. The Red Rooster Tavern close by was fun for lunch, dinner, or just a cold beer. I would totally rent this place again and hope to go back soon. Grocery was easy access about 15 minutes away and we also went up to the White Lake Light Station…a lovely old lighthouse and museum.
