It was an absolute joy to stay here. Hope is an amazing host and they were so kind to even let us stay a bit longer because our daughter was napping. What a wonderful experience.

Beautiful spot!

This was an awesome get away for our group. We planned to do outdoorsy activities, but it rained the whole time we were there, but the house had so many games/ space to get creative. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Week

Great house and yard for a week near Lake Michigan and so much more. Very clean and comfortable for 8 of us with space for littles, a teen and several adults. Hosts were accessible and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

Absolutely perfect

We were staying for the Ironman Michigan race. The location was perfect, as it was far enough away to stay out of the chaos but close enough to get there quickly on race day. The home was clean and comfortable. Every possible kitchen utensil you would need to cook for 10 people was available for use. The communication with the hosts was easy and they were more than flexible on a few things for us. I would recommend this home for larger groups that are looking for a cozy place to hang out and enjoy.
