This was our second stay at the best lake house, and we thoroughly enjoyed it again. Megan is just the kindest host, and the house has everything you could ever want or need. Also, the view is absolutely spectacular. We cannot wait to go back!
We all had a relaxing stay! The house was clean and spacious and the view from the porch was amazing!

Dear Wonderful guest,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I hope you can return when we have our beautiful sandy beach back.
I am glad you could find the enjoyable advantages of my home and overlook shortcomings.
I want to make your visit the best.
Sincerely,
Owner
Had an incredible time here as a family of four. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this home. Everything was clean and the host thought of every detail. Location was incredible and we all loved being able to wake up to the water and watch the moon rise over the lake at night. Would absolutely recommend as a wonderful place to make lasting memories.

Dear Jami,
You and your family made hosting a joy. It was a pleasure to have you and I hope it was a perfect vacation for you and that you can continue to return year after year. It is a small but very special home and I am so delighted it worked for your family. The beach is predicted to expand and can be a perfect walk. I want my guests to enjoy their stay and have everything they could possibily need. Looking forward to your return.
She has a beautiful location, nice cozy cabin. All the extra stuff you might need and we did a little laundry.

Thank you for visiting and I hope the full moon rise and soft sandy beach for walking to Kohler Andre State park enhanced your stay. You were lovely guests and I hope you are able to return soon.
Megan is an amazing host, with an amazing property! She was very prompt in communicating. If we needed anything she was right on it. The views, the sounds of the waves, the house and the close proximity to all that you need made this stay a perfect 10!I recommend anyone that’s looking for a peaceful getaway to book it NOW!
Relaxing home that is near a quaint town is just about a mile off the interstate. Yet seems like a vast distance as it offers a wooded surrounding on the shores of Lake Michigan. The sound of waves and clear water incessantly comfort you! Lovely outdoor area and open interior, with many windows to view the always changing great lake, has a pleasant northwoods feel. All the furnishings you may need along with comfortable furniture (inside & out) combined with the setting makes this truly a getaway.
Great house and great location - it would be hard to get much closer to the water and the views were incredible. The house has everything you need - the owner has anticipated every possible need and was very communicative about not only the property but area activities and things to do.
The location is a great jumping off point for area attractions, including state parks and the surrounding small communities. Also Sheyboygan is 10 minutes north and Milwaukee is 40 minutes south so both great places to take advantage of.

Thank you for being such gracious guests. I work very hard to attempt to provide the best home for your stay. I welcome your return.
The home was rented for 5 weeks to accommodate a long term stay for out of state guests. This was a perfect location and incredibly comfortable. Neighbors were friendly. Meghan was in touch throughout and very helpful! Highly recommend!

Thank you for the kind review. I enjoy the hospitality business. I want to provide every possible luxury amenity so my guests feel completely relaxed and can enjoy the magnificent lake and peaceful environment. I will go above and beyond for my fabulous guests.
We spent a wonderful week at this most beautiful home on the Western Shore of Lake Michigan.The beautiful sunrises shone on this clean, nicely decorated, warm and welcoming home. The views on the lake are breathtaking. The host was super friendly, gracious and easy to work with....we were offered early arrival and late check out. A paradise on the shores of Lake Michigan. We couldn't ask for more!
Thank you
Megan

Thank you for your kind words! I try to make each visitor feel welcome and work hard to provide every amenity possible to make your stay as relaxing as possible.
Your appreciation keeps me striving to enhance the property every year. I look forward to your return.
Thank you for being great guests.
My sisters and I absolutely loved this home! We were there for six nights. The location right next to Lake Michigan was breathtaking! We took walks on the beach every morning and had our coffee on the deck most days. What can we say—it was ideal. The home was very clean, cozy, close to many activities & restaurants, WiFi worked great, and all in all - a peaceful place to stay at. In addition, any communication with the host was very friendly. We also appreciated her quick response time.We highly recommend this place.

I was so delighted to have you as guests. All the work and effort are worthwhile when I have appreciative guests as kind and thoughtful as you! I hope you are able to come back soon and often. Thank you for your detailed review.
Quiet, secluded, and peaceful. Went to sleep with the windows open, listening to the sound of waves. We stayed 3 weeks, felt at home right away. The home is set up for long term stays. The host is very thoughtful and hands on. Would 100% go back again! ❤️

Dear Kimberly,
I hope you are able to return now that the beach is back and walkable for miles. You were wonderful guests and there have been some nice upgrades that should create an even better for you.
Beautiful house and grounds right on Lake Michigan. House is very clean and owner took great care to see that our visit went well. Lake Michigan is high this year and the waves were very dramatic and exciting to watch as the lake changes constantly.
Neighborhood is lovely with lots of trees and well kept homes.
There are several good restaurants in Sheboygan as well as the lovely Kohler-Andre State Park. We highly recommend this home.

Thank you, thank you kind, wonderful guest. My objective is to provide a comfortable home for your enjoyment with all the amenities so you can relax and enjoy your time here.
Thank you for understanding the situation of high water and sadly, no beach yet.
I and my staff do work to try to please every guest and your lovely review makes the work worthwhile.
We spent 5 days there in July 2023. The house is very well equipped with linens, towels, cookware, and pantry staples (very much appreciated for this couple who love to cook). The view is amazing and deck setup is wonderful. We had the windows open the entire time to hear the waves. We would definitely come back. Thank for sharing this place with us!

I am so glad that you felt at home and had all items that were useful for your stay. I want you to have everything you desire so you do not need to run to the store for an item.
You were wonderful guests and I look forward to your return.
A very cozy & peaceful setting. Beautiful view of Lake Michigan. We spent a lot of time on the deck relaxing & playing games. Located 1 hour or less south of Green Bay & north of Milwaukee. Sheboygan is a gorgeous town 15 minutes north. A little bit of clutter in an older property, but nothing that takes away from the stay. Overall a really good time & super private.
Such a beautiful home! Great location, comfortable and cozy!
We stayed only for 2 nights. Wish we had more time. Will recommend to all to experience the tranquility.
Megan left a wonderful birthday card and cake since we were here for my wife’s birthday! That’s so thoughtful.
PS: the colors at this of the year made it look even more beautiful! If that’s even possible. :)

Dear Nitin,
Thank you for taking the time to write. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and will do everything possible to make your next stay even more wonderful. Guests like you make all the work worthwhile!
Amazing view, lovely home, easy beach access, lots to do!
The house was a perfect layout for our family with views that can’t be beat! Comfortable and practical outdoor seating with a propane fire pit to enjoy each evening or early morning. The house had everything we needed and stayed cool from the lake breeze and ceiling fans. The location is off the beaten path - so quiet, but close to anything you need (Target, gas, groceries, excursions). Access to the Michigan Lake beach was a quick drive to Kohler Andrae State Park (get a multi day pass even if you aren’t a WI resident as you will likely make multiple trips) and added bonus of hikes in the park and on sand dunes. Lots of history in and around this location with fun spots to visit (Maritime Museum, Heritage Aviation Center, Pier/River walk in Sheboygan, Segway tours, canoeing/kayaking).
This is a great rental and one we would rent again and definitely be recommending to friends and family!

Thank you Emily,
You are welcome anytime. You are a delightful guest.
This property lives up to its VRBO title of best lake house on lake Michigan. The enormous picture windows allow for breathtaking views from nearly every spot in the house. You can watch that blue/green lake water roll and crash against the rocks while you're watching TV, cooking, enjoying a meal or just standing there dumbfounded by how close you are to that beautiful, ever-changing body of water. The owner is also wonderful to work with. She communicated regularly and was thoughtful enough to stock the home with so many things a renter would need. She truly made it feel like a home away from home, so much so, it was very difficult to leave! The deck outside is also amazing with plenty of comfortable seating for at least 4 adults and if you are brave enough to want to take a swim in the chilly lake Michigan water, there is a ladder that allows easy access to it. The only sounds you'll hear while you're out there are birdsong, crashing waves, and an occasional motor boat--incredibly peaceful. The home is clean, cozy, and Megan left very clear instructions on how to use the TV, the Roku, the washer/dryer, etc. The location of the house makes it seem as if you are miles away from everything, but in reality, you're just a short drive away from the very pretty, exceptionally clean little town of Oostburg and Sheboygan and Elkhart Lake are only about 20 minutes down the road as well. Our only complaint was that we had to go home after just one week! We cannot wait to return!

Dear Lori,
Thank you for your positive detailed review. I am so glad it worked for you and you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back this year and hope you enjoy the return of the beach. You can walk north for miles, even as far a Kohler-Andre State park.
The sunrises have been exceptional this year, unusually colorful with great bird watching.
You are a joy to have as a guest and I will make every effort to make sure your visit is wonderful.

NO BEACH "beach house" & Dishonest Owner
DO NOT RENT FROM THIS LYING, DECEITFUL PERSON. This was the worst experience I have ever had renting a home. I spoke with the owner a few weeks before the trip, asking her how close the beach was to the house. She said, "Oh it's right there, just a few steps down." Well imagine my surprise when we arrive and there was NO BEACH. The water went right up to the steps. No place to lay down towels, play in the sand for my son, NOTHING. Her excuse was "the beach changes week to week" - which her neighbors confirmed as a LIE; there hadn't been a beach there all summer.
Two houses down, you can get to the beach. But to do that, you have to wade through water or walk through the neighbor's property, which she asked us specifically NOT to do. The name of this place, "Best Beach House," is a COMPLETE LIE.
The owner then had the nerve to withhold half our security deposit for things that were very petty. When I asked her to send me pictures of the supposed "mess" we left behind, she refused. So she charged us $250 for a "messy stove," leaving a dirty diaper in the trash, forgetting to close the blinds, and doing "too much laundry." HUH? After the huge lie she told us, she should be offering us some money back, not STEALING ours. STAY AWAY!!!!

This renter tried to extort money from me to avoid posting this review. VRBO reviewed her complaints, and reviewed my extensive documentation and found no validity to her claims.
Their complaint, no beach. The guests 7 days later had sufficient beach to walk on and use. It clearly states in all information that the beach level is extremely high and it varies. For the past 20 years we have had a nice beach that has diminished this year as Lake Michigan is at a 30 year high.
I have been renting my home for ten years and never before have had such irresponsible renters. They caused significant damage in two nights time and left the home filthy.
I withheld only half of the rental deposit and would have kept it all if I knew the extent of the damage they caused. (detailed later.)
There were no complaints until I withheld half of the security deposit.
The renters did not read the contract or information and instructions provided about the house.
They broke the sliding screen door requiring replacement.
They must have allowed the kids to play with the brand new commercial Maytag washer electronic control panel as after they left it required extensive service calls to allow it to work again. The "kids" may have reprogrammed it to shut down and delay start.
The septic alarm went off to notify them for the need to empty the tank. They ignored this and told no one. The septic tank overflowed and caused headaches for me and my septic service. This had never happened before.
They broke the expensive sliding glass door blinds and left them in pieces. They left 7 loads of laundry, crammed 10 people in a house intended for 6 max.
They failed to remove their garbage, including smelly dirty diapers.
They left the house unlocked, blinds and windows open and did not tell anyone. My cleaning staff had to return over a 3 day period to clean the home to standards. My cleaning costs were doubled. The oven was crusted with food, and some item containing red dye was spilled and left on the refrigerator and surrounding area requiring extensive cleaning efforts.
The guests called the day of check in with no idea of the time to arrive or depart and did not have the address of the home which is stated on each page of the contract they signed. One person contacted me to rent and another one signed the contract and checks without authorization.
I needed to make 2 trips from out of state to correct the problems and am still not finished yet.
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful spot. The host was extremely kind and generous with the accommodations. Gorgeous views and stocked with anything we could think to need. Favorite VRBO so far. Thank you!
I wanted a peaceful getaway in a gorgeous natural setting, and I got it! The host, Megan, was kind and communicative. The house and the views outside were terrific! You feel like you're almost on top of Lake Michigan. The water is too high right now for beachfront access, but it feels great to just sit outside (or inside) and listen to the waves, and to watch the moon rise at night. It's also really convenient to various destinations like Kohler, etc. If you're looking for a wonderful escape, this is it!
The indoors of this property was wonderful. Fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Comfortable furniture and beds, kitchen was great and bath/showers were nice. When we arrived however, we had to uncover and move the outdoor furniture and tables and sweep the entire area of leaves and needles. We aren’t getting any younger and then we had to move and cover it all again before we left. Again, no real complaints, but that wasn’t the best way to begin and end our stay. We would come back again for sure.
