We had a fantastic stay at the cabin. It is super comfortable and equipped with everything a family could possibly need. It would be especially great for younger kids. My teens were a bit disappointed that the wifi didn't work, but we had a wonderful time anyway. The restaurant across the street has really good food. The kitchen is well equipped for making full meals as well. I'd highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway!

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.

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.

Comfy Cabin

Was very nice staying at the log cabin. Views of the water were great from the backyard and a very quick walk down the stairs to the large beachfront with very soft sand. House was clean and well appointed. Fun game room in the basement and lots of places to sit throughout. Would stay here again. Thanks so much Barb and Bruce!

Wonderful winter get away!

This is our second time staying at the log house ! After my 30 yr old son passed away in November of 2021 I needed to get away. This was perfect. A uniquely beautiful, peaceful, spacious and welcoming sanctuary. Gorgeous snow covered trees, the sound of waves, sunsets over lake views. We also appreciated the well stocked kitchen, fireplace supplies and comfortable bed. Thank you for sharing this special sanctuary with others.

Relaxing with a great view

The location was spectacular and the log home was unique and fun to explore. We all loved the backyard and spent a lot of time there playing with our grandson. The one issue we had was the condition of the steps leading to the beach. They need repairs and are missing the last few steps to the sand which makes it tricky to actually get to the beach.

Charming Lakeside Log Cabin

We stayed for a week during March for Spring Break to visit with family. The house is very charming and well laid out. There is plenty of room to spend time together in the kitchen, dining, and living room areas. The fireplace is a lovely place to spend time on colder nights and we had a few! I imagine it would still be great for colder summer nights, too. The lower level bedrooms each have their own bathrooms, there is a main house bathroom near the kitchen, and the two upstairs rooms share a bathroom on the main level. There are plenty of bathrooms even for a group 8 friends to share. There is no bathroom upstairs, and these two rooms are best for children or younger people without mobility issues. The basement is fully functional with games and lounge areas and can be easily used for lounging and games. It is not weird or musty as many basements are. It also has a full sized washer and dryer which was very helpful. It was winter so we couldn’t use the beach and don’t know if there are beach towels or beach chairs but we did see outdoor chairs for the fire pit and kayaks on the beach so I assume it would have all of those things to make the beach use very easy and convenient. Parking is easy for multiple cars. There is an incline to access the front door so I don’t know how suitable this would be for anyone with mobility issues. If you are a light sleeper I would recommend white noise or ear plugs as it’s a log cabin and very open so noise does travel. I highly recommend for price, convenience, layout, and comfort and hope to stay again!

An awesome cottage in a beautiful setting, my daughters are already talking about going back next year.It sits back a driveway thru the woods and sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. There are a lot of steps which would be tough for anyone with mobility issues. However the climb is worth it, we had a fire on the beach and watched a beautiful sunset.The cabin which is around 75 years old, but the age just adds to the aura of the place. A bonus is a short walk to a very nice restaurant/bar.

It was so nice to wake up to the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan from our backyard. We all enjoyed the kayaks and fire pits. We’re all glowing from the great time and can’t wait to do it again!

As we were looking for a Lake Michigan property, we came across this log cabin. Something about it just attracted us to it. We were not disappointed! From driving down the winding, wooded drive to going into the spacious log cabin; we all fell in love with it. We appreciated the many sitting spaces and enjoyed looking at all the unique decor. We spent a lot of time on the covered back porch. It was a relaxing place to hear the waves, talk, have our coffee, and feel the cool breeze. A nice surprise for the teens was the game room in the basement. The house has lots of shelf and counter space to work and display snacks. We were a little concerned about not having air conditioning, but there was always a breeze and the nights cooled down. We had many campfires around the fire pit. The backyard is huge with many sitting areas and is a great place to see the beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed the closeness of the Red Rooster Tavern, and walked there several times for meals. The beach was the best! The owners provide everything needed for an afternoon in the sun. The owner always responded within minutes to any text we sent. We made some wonderful memories here.

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.
