This was my fourth year in a row spending a long weekend at Sanctuary Shores. Absolutely love this place! The house is very clean and comfortable— the owners think of everything for their human & canine guests! — and the setting on the water is nothing short of absolute heaven. We love that it’s at the end of the dead-end road, so there’s no traffic. And being able to sit down by the water in solitude is definitely my favorite part! The perfect place for a quiet, relaxing vacation with no worries.

Perfect family vacation!

My family and I have had an emotional year especially after losing my father unexpectedly. Being able to vacation here with our best friends, Godson, and children was just a blessing! Our son is autistic and has a lot of sensory needs and this home was a home away from home for him. The property owners were amazing at communication and we look forward to future stays there!

Beautiful property

We highly recommend staying at Sanctuary Shores, the property was amazing, extremely quiet and serene. The cabin was very clean, roomy and spacious and had everything one would need for their stay. We heard loons and had deer visit. We enjoyed being able to get down to the Lakeshore. Our family made lots of memories at the cabin and as we ventured to numerous sites within driving distance from the cabin. Great place and hope to visit again !

Beautiful cabin with lots of privacy

My family had a great week enjoying time together at the cabin. We especially liked how quiet and secluded it was. There were plenty of towels, linens, and supplies in the kitchen. Our only complaint was the guest cabin had a musty smell. No one wanted to sleep in there so that made sleeping arrangements a little difficult.

Best Cabin EVER

We were so blown away by this gorgeous property. Everyone in our party of 11, from the youngest to the oldest had a fantastic time. We thought we'd be taking lots of day trips around the area to explore but we actually spent most of our time enjoying the cabin! Every bed/sleeping space was comfortable, the kitchen was better stocked than mine at home, the beach is private, we never saw another soul. We appreciated that it was dog-friendly, stocked with indoor and outdoor games, and close to lots of attractions (not that we needed them!). The hosts were so responsive and awesome to work with. We will definitely be back!

Perfect

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Sanctuary Cabin. It was the perfect getaway from the Missouri heat and humidity. The location was absolutely perfect. You are steps away from Lake Michigan and they built stairs for easy access. We had our dog with us and he absolutely loved it. The house was comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen was outstanding and the appliances were new. Plenty of everything you needed. The communication with Michael and Tori Was excellent. We had a couple simple questions and they were able to reply right away. If you were looking for a relaxing spot on Lake Michigan, I cannot recommend this spot enough!

Sanctuary Shores ++

Our stay at Sanctuary Shores was great, the property was clean and well stocked. I had seen in earlier reviews that there was a need for kindling to start fires in the fireplace so I brought some along as well as an axe. I think it is worth noting that the owners took note of the need and fulfilled it for future guests. There was a supply of kindling and fire starters to make fire starting a breeze. They have also added a really cool new grate to the fireplace, I had not seen one like that before, but if you follow the directions provided it worked - great. If you are considering staying here you will not be disappointed. Enjoy. Bill

Heavenly

After lock downs and shut downs our family decided its time to meet in the middle and gather together.. We stayed at this property with family (4 adults , 5 kids) for our "Holiday." Property was advertised, plenty of room. Kids loved the bunk beds in their room. And played many games there. They had chess and puzzles, movies, you name it.. Open kitchen and dining room, living room to allow for plenty of space to play games and enjoys meals together..The wood fireplace was the biggest hit, so very cozy! The kitchen had everything you could have wanted and more. When we said, I wish I would of brought, they thought of it, very well supplied.. We were looking for a secluded place to enjoy time away and found it. We were located at the end of the road so very secluded.. And a nice road for long walks with the kids.. Also, we were close enough to go explore the town of Escabana., about 25 minutes away. Thank you Michael & Tori for sharing your home to make this all happen for us. You & your home were a blessing to this Grandpa & Grandma.. Bill & Janet

This is a lovely home with beautiful views of Green Bay. There is a great patio to relax on and look at the water. Lots of space to sleep and spread out. That being said, there were a few things that were “off” that kept me from giving it a higher rating. 1) The place was clean and yet there were lots of cobwebs—in corners, in every windowsill, on the taxidermy deer, etc. 2) There is no beach. Yes, there is access to the water but the “beach” is mud you sink into up to your ankles so it wasn’t really an option to sit down by the water or swim. 3) Two bathrooms but only one shower—the downstairs bathroom only has a bathtub. So everyone is showering in one shower. 4) No A/C. Then there were some minor inconveniences that I’m not going to mention because I don’t know that they’ll reoccur but did influence my rating. The property is dog friendly (although you pay an extra fee for that), which is great and one of the main reasons we chose it. If you’re looking for a place to lay low with your family and dogs while enjoying looking at the water, this is a great place!

The perfect getaway

Our group of 10 humans and 2 dogs absolutely loved our time at the cabin! The water made for an incredible view (and the most gorgeous sunrise I've ever seen), and the house was roomy, clean, and so very well stocked. We loved getting to play in the huge yard or in the game room indoors. Tori was so knowledgable about the area and the wildlife and anything we wanted to know. Our trip was beautiful and perfect. Thank you for an amazing week!

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Tori

Host profile image
We were born and raised on the shores of Lake Michigan. We love the stunning sun rises in the morning and the mirror like calm of early morning and the sometimes gentle lapping of water and other times crashing surf in the afternoons and evenings. The beauty of watching a storm sweep across the incredible blue waters is an amazing sight to behold. The cracking fire on the beach while the sun sets and sharing stories with friends and family bring peace and serenity. Sharing favorite memories while sitting around the stone hearth fireplace in the great room warms the soul and the bones.

Why they chose this property
