We had a wonderful week with our 5 children and their spouses,and 5 grandchildren. Fun walks to the beach and relaxing quality time there every day. Plenty of room in the kitchen with everything you need. So great to have the extra fridge and freezer handy in the garage. The house is in top shape. The beds are very comfy. Huge backyard. We would definitely go back.

We had a great stay in Lakeside. There were plenty of rooms and beds to go around for our party of 12. Basement was a must for spreading out. It was really hot (well over 100) when we visited and the house stayed nice and cool those days. Kitchen was well stocked with plates and kitchenware for cooking. Patio had nice furniture for us to all eat outside together. The beach stuff (several chairs, at least 5 giant floaties, wagon, plenty of huge beach towels) were incredible and we made sure to take good care of it all because it is not common for rentals to come with that sort of stuff. It was fantastic and added a layer of fun.

Good location on a quiet street. Enjoyable 10 minute walk to a great beach. Nice, big backyard for everyone to play with a great fire pit. Plenty of bedrooms for a group of 14 which included young kids, teens and adults. Very well stocked with toilet paper, shampoo, soap, etc. Plenty of bath towels for all, but oddly not a single wash cloth. We had to make a trip to the store and purchase a bunch. The propane tanks were out so we had to fill one up out of our own pockets which was a little surprising. And there’s a water pressure system that made a subtly obnoxious noise all night long that is quite loud in a few of the bedrooms. Things go wrong, I get it it, but I saw this in a previous review and hoped it would’ve been fixed prior to our stay. Aside from that, a great home that I recommend.

Annual family vacation

House was great. We were 14 adults and 3 kids. There were plenty of beds and lots of space. Back deck was great and short walk to the beach! Another fridge in basement would have been nice with so many people and a baby we could have used the space. Overall a great stay!

Cherry Beach Retreat

This house was great. Exceeded our expectations. Had everything we needed. Kitchen and baths very well stocked and beach supplies an added plus. The walk to beautiful Cherry Beach was easy and pleasant. The whole family, ages 1 year to 84 enjoyed the spectacular sunset every night! We would definitely rent here again!

Pleasant retreat

The property was just as was described. We had 6 adults and 2 children which it easily accommodated. It served as a gathering place for our family including my son and wife who live in Three Oaks. We especially appreciated the fully equipped kitchen although we didn't cook while there. The backyard and deck was private and pleasant. TV was important too because we needed to be able to watch the UM football game. The host was responsive and helpful at every turn. Great location for the beach too.

Great place for family gathering

15 of us stayed here for 3 nights. There was plenty of space for all. We did not have en suite bathrooms for all the couples, but we were fine sharing! The cousins loved the bunk room! It was nice to be close to the more private beach, but also just a short drive from dunes and shops in several places.

Perfect Extended Family Vacation House!

We stayed for 7 nights with 8 adults and 10 kids ranging from 3-15. Each adult couple had a bedroom upstairs to themselves with ample room for everything we brought, storage to organize it plus space to just relax. All the kids enjoyed the bunk room, twin beds room and the queen bedroom. We put the ones who need to go to sleep first in the bunk room which was quiet and away from all the noise upstairs. The living space plus pool room gave the kids plenty of space to spread out and play. The living room upstairs was open to the dining room and kitchen and paired with the vaulted ceiling made the space feel even bigger than it was. In the garage there was an extra full refrigerator and freezer and every lake item we could need! It truly exceeded our expectations! We would drop off the kids and some adults at the beach, drove our vans back to the house and walk back to the beach. It was a nice, shaded walk that took us about 10-15 mins at a leisurely pace. The host had the kitchen and bathrooms completely stocked. Seriously, it was such good hospitality and we always had what we needed - pots/pans/serving dishes/appliances/grilling stuff. It was all there. The bathroom and linen closet were both stocked with towels galore- plenty for showers but also beach towels. She also had toiletry needs met with little bottles in case someone ran out or forgot anything. Perfectly clean, everything well cared for! 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful stay near the beach

Our group had a wonderful stay at this property. Mary was a great host - very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The property itself is perfect - plenty of comfortable beds and bedrooms, a large deck and yard, and tons of space for our large group. The little things are taken care of, too: ample towels, toiletries, and all the kitchen accessories you need. Certainly the most homey rental property we have stayed at. The house is about a half mile to a nice sandy beach, and plenty of chairs, toys, and floaties are provided. No complaints whatsoever; everyone in our group was happy with our stay. Highly recommend!

So clean and well stocked

This was the best vacation rental I’ve stayed in in my 30+ years. The home was very clean and SO well stocked - plenty of paper goods, trash bags, every kitchen utensil you could need, sooo many towels, firewood for 2 big fires…. I can’t think of anything more the host could have provided. On top of that the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for our group of 18 adults and kids to spread out. It was an easy .75 mile walk to the beach and very drivable to lots of restaurants and breweries. I think we might make this the permanent spot for our annual friend group vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Jacobs

My name is Mary. I am a mother of 4. I happily bought this ranch home in Michigan with the goal of spending time with my family. It has been a retreat for family and friends for over a decade. It is my goal to see other families enjoy the beauty of Southwest Michigan. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions.

Why they chose this property

I chose Cherry Beach because it was always quiet and great for families. It has gotten busier in recent years as it was name “a best kept secret” on popular websites. The walk to the beach is 5 blocks, but we are on the beach side of red arrow so it’s a lovely tree lined walk. We have a wagon to cart your beach items, but you can drive down and pay to park for the day ($15) or just run a car down and drop off all your chairs, coolers, etc.
Our home is surprisingly large - with LOTS of beds. I work hard to make sure it is well stocked and comfortable. Nice linens and towels matter, so we don't skimp on that! It is also important for it to be clean and uncluttered. I want guests to feel comfortable and relaxed. I hope you find the home appropriately appointed.

What makes this property unique

Lots of high quality beds! Nice bedding. Plenty of paper products, linens, towels, laundry detergent. I don’t skimp on the needs in a home.
LARGE yard to play - volleyball net and plenty of beach toys and floaties.
I also make sure the place is clean. We have high standards and I come check the cleanliness of the house several times per summer while it is being cleaned. I have great reviews because we work hard to make this a clean and beautiful home for your vacation.
