Fall Weekend

Great access to beach on Lake Michigan and close to Douglass and Saugatuck. House was very comfortable with beautiful views of the Lake. Conveniently furnished with lots of dishes, linens, nice TVs. We would definitely rent this location again!

Great weekend

Home was clean, well stocked & owner was responsive and extra responsible in getting the home ready. The walkway was shoveled and the fireplace was going when we arrived, Beautiful home right on the beach- we will definitely come back.

family vacation

Our vacation included myself, my children, and my grandchildren. We loved spending time together and especially loved the easy access to the beautiful beach. The deck area was our favorite spot to watch the sunsets. The house fit our needs so we could spend our time together. The wifi had a weak signal, but otherwise, we were able to do everything on our wishlist.

Lovely Beachfront Getaway

Perfect getaway in celebration of my parent’s 50th anniversary. Lovely home with immediate beach access and a short drive to all of the sites of Douglas and Saugatuck. Clean, comfortable and spacious with numerous areas to lounge and relax, both indoors and out. Would definitely return!

winter break

Never have lived so close to the Lake. Everyday was incredible, walks on the beach, hikes through the woods, great food from Farmhouse and the beauty of the waves. Perfect family getaway. The cottage was exactly the right size, spotless, well insulated with everything we needed.

Great winter getaway

We had a great winter trip with our adult kids. The location is perfect- fun to walk on the beach and see the weather ice volcanoes on the lake. The rooms other than the master are a bit small but great for adult kids. Very clean and comfortable. Lots of outdoor deck space we didn’t use because it was cold, but beautiful.

We loved the location - it was absolutely perfect!

We were looking for a lake front cabin close to restaurants and the Tulip Festival activities. We were able to bring our puppies as well as our adult children for much needed reset time. Everything was wonderful. We had everything we needed, gorgeous cabin, clean & equipped! Thank you! Everything exceeded our expectations - we will be back!

Great Host. Great Property

We loved the property and location so much we didn't want to leave to go out for dinner or outings. Dan was a responsive host- very quick to answer questions before we arrived and during our stay. We plan to go back in future years. Tracie

Fall family get away

Location is awesome. Really neat house right on the water. House is well stocked with all essentials to make it a great stay. Parking was a little awkward . You park on the street then climb down several flights of stairs and a wooden walkway thru woods to get to house.

Great spot on Lake Michigan

A phenomenal spot, a stunning view from the house, and extremely functional spot to call home for few days. Great amenities. Nice sized living space to spread out, deck space for all guests, and kitchen facilities for cooking. We celebrated our anniversary over a long weekend and it was the perfect place for our family. This made for nice beach time, accommodating spots to hang out and talk, and mealtime was easy with the open kitchen. Thank you for providing the backdrop for our time to remember!

Amazing waterfront retreat

Like many reviewers, the photos of the Lake don’t do this house justice. There are amazing views from the main living area (sitting room and kitchen) and primary bedroom. In addition, you are so close from some views that it feels like you’re hovering just above the water. If you want to be on the water, this is the place.

On the Beach

Very nice beach side home with plenty of windows and plenty of stairs.Very nice deck. Parking can be a challenge with many of the spaces along the street marked "reserved" by surrounding homes.

Beautiful views of the lake, stunning sunsets

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on the lake. The hosts were quick to answer a question we had about the property mid-stay. The master suite was especially lovely with a wonderful view of the lake. We spent every evening on the patio enjoying wonderful sunsets. My only caution would be to those who have mobility issues (either family members or pets) as there were a few steps to and from the property to the street. Overall, we had an absolutely lovely, peaceful stay here!

A Piece of Michigan Magic!

The views were stunning at this home on the beach. Property was as described and is one of a kind. We had no issues at all. There were plenty of blankets and towels. The kitchen was well stocked and had all that we needed. Home is conveniently located to the nearby entertainment. The sunset views on the deck is a great space for creating memories. Would absolutely recommend this as a top place to stay.
