Relaxing weekend
We recently stayed here for a long weekend and enjoyed the cottage; looking out of the large windows to Lake Michigan - which is right there - was amazing. The cottage was quite comfortable and clean - the 5 of us had plenty of room.

This property propelled us into a togetherness. The water with the beautiful sunsets, the bonfires, the walk to the beach to swim. The kids, ages 4 & 7 loved the bunk beds We would go back again.

Beautiful View
This charming cottage was perfect for our long weekend vacation. The view was breathtaking and it almost felt like we were looking at an ocean. The breeze was lovely and the sound of crashing waves was calming. The floor plan was laid out nicely based on the space and the neighbors were pleasant. Thank you for allowing us to utilize your space for We are grateful!

Autumn stay on beach
I took my mom for a birthday celebration stay on the beach, and we loved it. The view is amazing, the decor was beautiful, very comfortable and homey. The communication with the host was easy and friendly. They were very informative and took care of our needs while we stayed there. We will definitely keep this on our list of destinations.

Nice view of the lake
It was a nice clean cabin, recently redone. Lack of privacy, needs curtains or blinds facing the very close next door neighbors house. Was uncomfortable having the lights on in the house at night because of extreme visiblity from the outside looking into the house. The Neighbors are close enough to can hear them talk. View of the lake was amazing,

Beach cottage in the dunes
Location was right on the lake, and across the lane from the dunes, but the cottage was a bit tired and not as up market as the photos depicted.

Cozy house on the water
We enjoyed our weekend on the lake at this cozy house on Lake Michigan. Excellent water views & nearby (walkable) beach/dunes at Silver Lake State Park. House is small but nicely decorated & very clean. Firepit is a nice touch for campfire on next to the lake. Fyi for longer stays it could be challenging since no washer/dryer.

Lake Michigan VIEW
The cottage was cute and cozy. I have a thing for screened porches, and they had one with water view. The window view was wonderfully close to the water. My cousin and I sat in their comfy chairs with an ottoman for each of us. It was hard to get out of the chairs because the waves were wonderful and the sunsets were magnificent. Our visit was quiet and relaxing. The cottage appears to be an older one that has been updated with cabinets, furniture, etc. I thoroughly enoyed my stay.

Lakefront cottage
The view of the lake from the living room and patio was lovely. Definitely the best thing about the house and why we rented it. It was great for a relaxing stay. Negatives: the screens on the windows had large holes and very dirty window sills, which was bad as there's no air conditioning. Also the cottage was a little musty smelling so we definitely wanted the windows open. The beach was a further walk than we realized, and too far to carry the kayaks. As we didn't have a truck that meant we weren't able to use them, which was disappointing as that was one of the things we were looking forward to (I mistakenly thought from the photos that we could put them in in front of the house). Also, the beach that was supposed to have private access was a state park, with a fence separating ATV's and dune buggies from the water. So unless you have a dune buggy, it wasn't a nice place to be. We were able to take a lovely long walk to the lighthouse, which got us away from the noise and bustle.

Beautiful location overpriced
The place was decent and the pictures make it look worth the price. The cleaning fee was very high and was ended up cleaning up a number of things right when we arrived, and its a lot smaller than it looks. Cleaning few needed to be about $75. The shower in the bathroom is a hack job and spews water through the gap in the bottom of the door. The bedrooms are ok but the closet doors are just more of the incompleteness. Totally a work in progress being funded by overpriced rental cost and inflated cleaning fees. We were fooled into thinking it was a spectacular cottage but it was really only just ok. The good stuff: The location is amazing and the sunset over the water combined with the proximity to the dunes and national beach made it worth staying. Been to many that were significantly better at the same price though.

Dunes summer vacation
AMAZING. If you love the beach and want to be near the dunes this house is wonderful. You can’t beat the view! It was very cute, nicely remodeled and clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom was nicely remodeled also with a big shower. It was hot when we were there, I was worried it would be sticky without A/C but with the windows open and the fans it very comfortable. The bed was so comfortable! The beach is just a short walk and is our favorite beach in the area. You do have to accommodate a fairly steep hill to the beach. There are side ropes and a beach mat on the path to assist you but for someone that has health issues it may be difficult. We had no problem and our grandchildren easily maneuvered it as well all while carrying chairs and beach toys. You can hear the vehicles on the dunes but for us that wasn’t a problem at all. The deck was nice with a great view. We especially enjoyed the fire pit. Great campfires with the sound of waves crashing on the rocks - very therapeutic. We will definitely be coming back to this house!

Beautiful views of the property. The house wasn't as clean as I would have expected and there were small gnats flying all over the kitchen.

Beautiful Lake Michigan View!
This is our second stay. We love the water view, and always enjoy a bonfire (wood provided). Lovely, cozy and clean cottage. Fans are provided. There's a large deck. Grill provided. FYI, there is no way to access the water or shoreline in front of this cottage, but a 10 minute walk will take you down a steep path to Lake Michigan. There is a little noise from the dune buggies driving on the dunes at Silver Lake during the summer. We rented an ATV to enjoy the dunes! Or catch a ride on Mac Wood's Dune Rides. Short drive to Mears for a few restaurants, ice cream, Craig's Cruisers, Little Sable Point Lighthouse, Lavender Labyrinth, Country Dairy Farm has cool tours/food, and Lewis Adventure Farm & Zoo is not to far.

Hidden gem!
We absolutely loved staying here! It was clean and decorated so cute. It is within walking distance to the sand dunes! It is also close to a wooded area that was perfect for walks as well. Tip: if bringing a trailer for sand dune toys you can park your trailer at Silver Hills campground overflow lot for $20/weekend.

Great Cabin directly on Lake Michigan
We loved this wonderful cabin directly on the shore of Lake Michigan. You cannot beat the sunset views! Used the fireplace for S’mores every night, kids loved the place. Close to neighborhood beach. A real gem.

Relaxing Getaway
This lake house has the most beautiful view of Lake Michigan! It is close to the dunes and Craig’s Cruisers. The girls ages 11-12 enjoyed the beach walking distance from the house. The house was very clean. There was a few more spiders than we are used too lol but other than that it was a perfect stay! We enjoyed s’mores over a campfire looking out onto to the lake. The kitchen had all the cooking utensils as well! The girls asked if we can come back every year!
