So relaxing!

Weather was chilly at first, but last couple days were excellent! Had a fire every night and one on beach last night there. Beach area is so nice and my 1-year-old grandson enjoyed playing in the sand. We used the kayaks also. House was well stocked and beds were all comfortable. Would highly recommend! 69 steps to beach.

Always Excellent and Wonderful

We returned to this vacation home after a couple of years and I’m so glad we did. The setting is beautiful, the house well cared for and appointed, and we were blessed with glorious weather. This is one of favorite places to stay, lots of space, lots of privacy if you need it. The kitchen has everything you need and everything works.We come with our family, all adults, and one very good boy. The private beach is easily accessible, although it’s a lot of stairs. The beach has tons of beach chairs and tables. Kayaks if you’re interested. I can’t say enough good things about this vacation home. The hosts are excellent and appropriately attentive and they continue to upgrade the property and amenities. It’s our favorite place to stay in western Michigan and would highly recommend this rental.

Cabin with a view!

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Right above the beach with a gorgeous view of lake Michigan. My wife and I started the week just the two of us and added a couple of kids and grandkids throughout the week. Plenty of room for everyone and everything we needed plus games and puzzles and all the stuff we needed for bonfires. We had a wonderful time! room for all and

Family Getaway

We loved our stay! This property is so well appointed; they’ve thought of everything. Lots of dishes and stocked kitchen so we had fun preparing meals and eating together at the large dining room table overlooking the lake. Kayaks and paddle boards were a nice addition for impromptu voyage into the lake. Great for bonfires. Steps to upstairs are a little tricky to navigate for older family members and pets.

We loved the cabin -very clean-comfortable-well equipped- nice touches- and the beach was wide and gorgeous to the south for miles. Please let us know if you add AC and we will come back in the summer sometime. Thanks for sharing your log cabin !

Charming!

We loved the character of this historic cabin. It is clearly cared for with pride + TLC. The beautiful beach is the main attraction, but we spent lots of time admiring the details of the cabin inside + out…it’s very special! So happy to have found a dog-friendly spot along the shores of Lake Michigan. We definitely hope to be back!

Perfect

Another fantastic vacation at a true vintage gem! We loved the superbly stocked house, enjoyed the sipping-hummingbird porch, lazed on the private beach that had great chairs and fun boats to use! The owners of this place have thought of every detail- beach towels, good kitchen stuff, outdoor dog bowls, etc. We cannot wait to spend another week here next summer- it's just a magic place.

A Special Place

This property is just as described in the listing. It was a perfect house and location for my husband and to spend time with his 3 siblings and spouses. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was well supplied. The Lake Michigan view was spectacular and we all took several walks on the beach. It was a treat to stay there.
