Great house
We like this area, so looked for a house last minute this year. The house was better than the pics! Really neat/fun house…we really enjoyed our stay! The beach is huge and the highlight, with kayaks, umbrellas, tables, etc. Also a great view of the water from the house..and shaded backyard to hangout. Barb very responsive to help! Great family week!

A Special Place
This property is just as described in the listing. It was a perfect house and location for my husband and to spend time with his 3 siblings and spouses. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was well supplied. The Lake Michigan view was spectacular and we all took several walks on the beach. It was a treat to stay there.

Another Great Stay!
You will not be disappointed! Read the reviews - the best sunsets on Lake Michigan and such a fantastic house. We love the area and visit twice a year. Barb's house is just perfect for us, clean, well-appointed, and responsive. We look forward to our next stay. Highly recommended.

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.

Beautiful, Comfy Cabin
My 3 siblings and their spouses and my wife and I, ages 60-77 came together to celebrate birthdays, our second year in a row. We love this place! Lots of room for big meals, time around the fire and long walks on the beach. It has everything we need for a late winter get-a-way! Thanks Barb for all the extra touches. We hope to be back again next year.

Ideal Lake Michigan Cottage
Lots of character, thoughtfully appointed, amazing backyard overlooking the lake, with multiple ways to take it in (back porch, hammock, firepit circle, picnic table for meals, and more), and beautiful, unpopulated stretch of beach. Perfect.

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!

September getaway
My husband and I and our 2 sons and spouses stayed at this charming cottage for our annual family vacation. We could not have asked for a better setting for relaxing and reconnecting. The property was as described and exceeded our expectations for extras like towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, life jackets and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beach was spectacular and we had it to ourselves this time of year. Overall a very nice property for a quiet beach vacation. Would recommend.

Wonderful family retreat on Lake Michigan
Our family of 6 adults and 2 dogs had a lovely 3 days at this spacious, cozy and comfortable retreat. Beautiful views, stargazing and sharing stories, songs and warm drinks in the ample living space. It was great that we had enough room for everyone to have their privacy for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked, the decor eclectic and thoughtful, the flannel sheets and towels fluffy and new. Barb was an excellent host with good communication. We will certainly be back. Thank you!

Winter escape
The hosts here are very hospitable and want you to have a great stay. They were easy to reach and made sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our time at the cabin and especially the sunset views that you can't miss. While the upper level bridge is unique, I would advise families with younger children to take care.

Beautiful Michigan Get-Away
This was our 4th stay at this beautiful & charming cabin. The inside has great character with all its unique touches and features. Not to be outdone the outside offers beauty & charm with amazing landscaping, fire pit, play features for the kids. We had three adults & three fur babies who absolutely loved the beach. The dogs played on the beach they were exhausted! Sunsets are amazing. Barb (host) is very accommodating and is always available to answer any question you may have. She has always made our vacation care free and has been very accommodating. This cabin will not disappoint. Plenty of activities inside for both adults & kids. The basement is filled with games, such as ice hockey, foosball, mini pool table & more. Highly recommend this charming cabin.

Loved this property the moment I saw the listing. It’s a property I’d love to own. Barb is awesome. The views are spectacular. Comfortable beds. The cabin is old. Which is part of the charm. But super clean, very cozy, well decorated. Roomy. It’s like stepping back in time. Back yard is awesome. Our dogs loved the yard and the beach! Can’t wait to go back!

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.
