I had lived in this neighborhood 50 years ago. So this was a homecoming for me. My son who was with me enjoyed showing his children where he had visited his grandparents. The home is very inviting. The property is quiet and beautifully landscaped. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful house with multiple seating areas, and stocked with all your needs. Very modern kitchen and lower bath. Has large deck with large adjacent patio with plenty of seating. Used one of the several kayaks and board. Had 2 fires in the pit by the lake. Wonderful all around stay. One thing to note; the yard slopes down to the water so if you have walking issues you might stay on the deck/patio. I’m 78 and had no problems walking the incline multiple times a day. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful property and views

We had a group of women stay for a 50th birthday retreat weekend. This was exactly what we needed. Beach area by lake was a nice touch. Kitchen is fully stocked with most items you’d need to cook/grill. We felt right at home, and communication with homeowners is top notch. Fireworks in Sturgis was fantastic to watch on the deck. Would absolutely stay here again!

A Slice of Heaven

We are so happy we found this home. Normally we book a year out for our summer vacation trip but we dropped the ball and didn’t book one until March of this year. Most of the nice huge homes were booked and then we found this gem. It’s large, (so many spaces to find our own nook to read, or just enjoy the view). We didn’t feel like we were on top of each other and the lake was so warm and clean. We would recommend this property, especially if you’re looking to stay with friends and family. The large dining room table and multiple living rooms and outdoor space was perfect.

Very Relaxing Stay

Very nice home with everything included to have a wonderful stay. We had 8 adults in our group and we were very comfortable. We have stayed in several home on Homeaway and the bed I slept in was fantastic. We used the kayaks and stand up paddle board and the row boat. Highly recommend if looking for a place to relax and still have access to Chicago. Really cannot go wrong with this house.
