Home away from home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beach! The lake was beautiful and having our own private area was wonderful! No crowds, just seagulls and the occasional couple strolling the beach! The water was wonderful! I can’t say enough about how everyone enjoyed our stay! Kathleen had everything we could needed right there so no hauling stuff back and forth. There are stairs that would be hard for a disabled person but for us the walk through the dunes was an adventure! There are trails through the nature preserve in front of the house that are beautiful! We so enjoyed visiting the farmers market and The Fox Barn winery. Can’t wait to visit again!

Summer Fun

This was our second year on the dune. We love the private beach and that is what keeps us coming back! We plan to return next year also. It is a ways down to the water, but once you are there, it is well worth it. The house is clean and spacious for our family. We had great weather and enjoyed our week!

Stunning views - Beautiful accommodations - Communicative Owners

This is truly a special property. The view of Lake Michigan is breathtaking, and the dunes ecosystem (dune grasses and tidal pools) on the path to the beach add a truly unique experience from other beachfront rentals. The lake house is gorgeous and well-appointed. The owners are quick to answer questions, flexible and communicative. I give 5 stars on everything except the accuracy of the online listing - not because I think it was done on purpose, but because I think it's difficult to capture in pictures just how steep (and many) the stairs are that take you down to the narrow, long bridge that leads to the front door. My group of middle-aged friends were fully capable of navigating them, but had we brought some other friends who have limitations, they might not have been able to manage it, and we wouldn't have realized it until we got there. Additionally, the path to the beach also involves navigating several flights of steep stairs. Good exercise, but probably not possible for all. If stairs are not a deterrent, you will not regret renting this beautiful lake house. Again, it's a very special place.

Relaxing and Beautiful

We loved our stay and took full advantage of the private beach, sunsets and hiking trails. It truly is a place to disconnect, relax and enjoy time with family. The house provided plenty of sleeping room and kitchen was well stocked (loved the extra touch with the drink fridge!). Beach chairs and sand toys already at the house made packing easy. Our family is already planning a return for next year!
