Not perfect but still great.
This is Kelly Burke. I want to thank you the hospitality this past week. My family had a wonderful time. Two things: Your manual inferred we should not put trash in containers outside because pick up wasn't until Tuesday. But as we departed today, we did put the trash in the containers because we didn't want to leave you with a hoard of fruit flies. They were very bad through the week. Secondly, Thursday evening, while my daughter in law was showering in the upstairs bath, my wife and I saw that water was leaking from that shower to the bedroom we were in downstairs along the ceiling and outside of the closet wall. We made sure no one else showered upstairs afterward. We did nothing unusual to precipitate that. We would recommend installing lighting along the walkway and steps to the beach. Even though you have a railing, it is still dangerous. My wife fell and I tripped. Fortunately, neither one of us was injured significantly, but it was a close call. Finally, we found the place was was dusty when we arrived and we had to do a fair amount of cleaning before we settled in. Otherwise, your place was very enjoyable - especially the beach area. Outstanding waterside location. Good internet service. Appliances all worked well. Good location to get to a number of great places. Despite the issues I raised, I would recommend this getaway. All issues can easily be addressed. Thank you very much.

Lovely spot on the lake
Bishop's Beach is a lovely log home on a wooded lot right on the lake. Three doors along the back of the house open with screen doors so you can keep them open and hear the waves. Omena is conveniently located on Leelanau peninsula between Northport and Sutton's Bay making it easy to get anywhere - Leland, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. Communication with Jessica was easy.

Had a great stay and were quite comfortable.
Lovely, quiet area and great beach front! Gorgeous view! Kitchen was well equipped and lots of outdoor seating. Drawback was the horrible springs on the downstairs bed. Owner said it will be replaced. Also, the tree lined curves in the driveway made it very difficult to back the boat in. We would definitely stay there again but not bring our boat.

Maintenance- dehumidifier- updates
The property location is very good- the front steps need a railing - to open the screen door you must step to the very edge of the stone steps. We spent the first hours replacing light bulbs - smoke detectors batteries - trying to tighten the master bathroom faucet- the furnishings need to be up dated / cleaned - the fabric is worn out - the newer front porch needs a railing - the stone path to the beach is at best a challenge- & when wet slippery- the owner should give strong consideration to fixing the rugged stone path - the beach & view is a 10 out of 10 - with some very needed new furniture - pots & pans & cleaning the entire cottage could also be 10 out of 10 -

Hello, My name is Christopher Bishop, and I am an Epsicopal priest currently living in New York. My home in Michigan has brought me many summers of joy, and I hope your family will enjoy it just as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

This is a custom-built property, built right next to my parent's vacation home (also listed on HomeAway). It features a very open construction with lots of windows and natural light, and has, at least in my opinion, the most beautiful beach-front view in the world! The village of Omena has all the amenities (gas, grocery, etc.) as well as great restaurants Within a 20 minute drive are lighthouses, antique shops, wineries, casinos, cherry picking, and yearly film and music festivals (and much more)!

What makes this property unique

wooded, beach-front location, private beach, fire pit.
