Frnakly, I was worried that if I write a review that accurately reflects how much we loved this house and our stay there, it would become so booked up we wouldn't be able to get a reservation, so I waited until I had time to book for next summer before writing.
We had a wonderful time in this lovely house. The family room with a view of the water was a particular highlight. I loved the swimming and private beach, though it is important to note (for persons with disabilities or older folks) that there is a climb down to the beach. But there is also an accessible beach just a short walk or drive up the street. Our hosts were incredibly gracious and helpful and answered questions very quickly. Bring insect repellent and water shoes, and prepare for great swimming, amazing picnic dinners overlooking the lake at the Michigan Riviera, as well as nice day trips around the thumb. The house is an easy 7 minute drive to a wide range of grocery stores. Thanks to Linda and Denice for helping us have such a good vacation. Looking forward to going back soon and often.
