Amazing house set on a quiet hill overlooking Stony Creek and the edge of the lake. Beautiful and serene. A bald eagle sat outside near the deck for hours. Really a pristine spot, and the owner was great.
We loved the property, deck view, and close proximity to Lake Michigan! Our household got together with my parents and my sister’s family (10 total) and it was a perfect size house / location for some nice time all together.
My husband said it was the best deck view ever - seeing lots of different birds! Definitely would book here again!
Our stay was beyond amazing. The home was perfect for our family of ten. (5 grown, a baby, 3 teens, and a young child). We had plenty of room to relax and spread out without feel cramped. The evenings were beautiful with a spectacular view from nearly every window and the back deck. The location is perfect: secluded enough to feel private yet only a short 3 miles to the main public beach. The home has several boats and a dock for fishing to use as well as a fire pit. The communication with the owners was great. They were responsive and sweet. I would definitely stay here again.

Property was poorly maintained…needs a thorough cleaning. A lot of overgrowth around the house leaving pathes inaccessible to backyard. Grill & Blackstone were unusable. Broken & unusable furniture. This could be a beautiful place but needs TLC. Will not return or recommend.
Great place and location. Worked well for our trip.

overall a great time
overall it was a beautiful place to stay , we had 4 adults and 5 kids ranging from 9 to 15 years old ,some things that were listed on the place were not there cable tv and internet (not deal breakers) no easy access to the water as listed , big thing was that there was no a/c or heat in the home (thank god for great weather or this could have been a huge problem ) in speaking with the owner i advised him of some of our concerns and he said that this is his first time as a host and that he would address them. if renting please make sure to ask a lot of questions as i did not, overall i would recomond this home as i do belive that things would be better if the owner had put these things in the disription . this is a beautiful area and it did not diminish our trip
