Excellent location

This was our second stay here. We had a great time and the house had the necessities. It wasn’t as clean this time as the first, but otherwise met all our needs. It certainly has beautiful views of Lake Michigan.

Why they chose this property

The most interesting thing about this property is that we tried to purchase the lot this property sits on back in 1991. We were a day late, as someone purchased it before we were able to. We were, however able to purchase the lot directly behind this home, and built the Red House you can see in 2006.
In 2013 this home became available for sale and we were very fortunate to be able to purchase it. Ironic isn't is!!!!
