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.

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.

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!

Another great stay
My wife and I have been staying here twice a year for the past 3 years, unintentionally at the same times - late winter/early Spring and late Fall/early winter. This Fall the leaf color was as good as I’ve seen it in years - unparalleled! You’ll love this house as much as we do. It’s fast become a tradition for us to stay here and you’ll see why. The best sunset views, quiet and secluded, lots of beachfront and well appointed. We love the surrounding communities, too. Barb is a pleasure to work with. You won’t be disappointed.
