5th year back to this magical house and we loved every minute. The house is well maintained and has everything you need. Loved the new washer and dryer. Natalie is always easy to communicate with. We look forward to this trip every year and it never disappoints. The sunsets are the best in Michigan. Thank you!

Gorgeous Lake Michigan getaway

The property is actually more stunning than the photos. An extremely easy jaunt down minimal stairs to an ample beach. Perfect area for beach fires. And the kitchen was well equipped for nights that we stayed in to cook. Tons of wineries to sample that are nearby. It served as the perfect base camp for a family vacation.

Wonderful family trip

The house is even lovelier than the photos present. The beach is only steps away where we found many Petoskey stones and in the evenings we sat by the fire. The beds were comfortable and there are plenty of games we could play in the closet. Although the weather didn’t cooperate, we truly had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this beautiful home to any up North visitors.

Great House and Property on Lake Michigan

This was the perfect place for our group of 9 HS girlfriends from 7 different states to be introduced to Lake Michigan. We spent 4 nights in this beautiful house with wonderful amenities and gorgeous views of the lake. Everyone loved it! Natalie was a fantastic host and at her suggestion we also enjoyed our visit to Suttons Bay Ciders. This property is convenient to many places and activities, and as a bonus our stay happened to overlap with the Leland Food & Wine Festival. Awesome trip!

The BEST of Michigan

We look forward to our summers on Lake Michigan all year round and this house is absolutely perfect. We were surrounded by peace and quiet except for the beautiful sounds of the lake and we were still close enough to enjoy fabulous meals and ice cream in town. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family home with us! Once again, it did not disappoint. It was the perfect back drop to create more family memories that we will cherish forever.

Photos don't do it justice

This was a vacation for gathering extended family members, and this house was perfect. The property and home are high-quality and well maintained. Frankly, even nicer than the pictures show. The downstairs level was perfect for the parents with small children, and there is great flow and plenty of seating areas in the main room. The deck is well furnished with a seating area and long dining table with comfortable chairs, not shown in the listing photos. The firepit at the beach also has a grouping of chairs, perfect for late evenings.

Beautiful Lake Michigan Retreat

Wow what a beautiful week my family and I had at Natalie’s amazing Lake Michigan home. Just steps away from the spacious outdoor deck was a white sandy beach. The house is centrally located between Leland and northport with Traverse City and Glen Arbor being a quick 25 minute drive away. The house is also located close to the many wineries, breweries, and all other Leelenau Peninsula attractions. The inside of the home was beautifully decorated and had everything my family and I needed for a comfortable week long stay. Natalie is easy to communicate with and the check in process was seamless. My family is already talking about returning next year. Thank you Natalie for giving my family and I memories which we will never forget.

Beautiful setting, just steps down the short bluff to the beach and waters edge, the view accentuated with 2 story high windows and shady deck. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms/kitchen and well stocked with beach chairs, bath and beach towels, kitchenware, seating for 8 at dining table. The sectional sofa a little tired, could use updating since the living room is the main gathering place. Host was excellent, answering questions very promptly. The property accommodated our party of 5 adults, 3 children and a toddlers quite well. Kids loved the beach.

The house was absolutely perfect for our family. We spent most of our time outside on the deck looking at the beautiful view, or our searching for petosky stones on the beach. The house was well equipped for all of our cooking needs, as well as extra comforts for our small children. We hope to return one day soon!

Perfection

Words cannot describe how wonderful the house and location are. The house is beautiful, well appointed and just feels like you are at the beach on vacation. And then there is the beach! Wonderful and great for swimming and exploring. And the sunsets top it all off. We have stayed at many wonderful spots in the Sleeping Bear and Leelanau Peninsula areas and this one was simply the best. Thank you to Natalie and the Korzons!

Unforgettable Experience

My multigenerational family and I absolutely loved staying in this stunning and peaceful home. I could not believe how close the beach was, just a few steps down the stairs and we were in rock hunters paradise on our own private beach. The children loved the bunk room. All of rooms were lovely and the beds were very comfortable. I slept so well on the main floor suite with the screen door open- we could hear the crashing waves all night. Grandma and Grandpa opted to enjoy the loft master suite and could not stop talking about the view they woke up to. The home was laid out perfectly for our extended family to enjoy, especially grilling out on the spacious deck. The home has a wonderful breeze going through it due to the positioning on the lake so as someone that usually sleeps hot I was very comfortable. We are already talking about booking this property next year and making staying at this home a new tradition for our family. It didn't feel like a rental it felt like " Home."
