Amazing

Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Beautiful property! Beautiful views! Walk down to the beach area was perfect, cabin was cozy. Right off the interstate, but tucked away in the woods. Dog friendly was a must, so was grateful they were allowed so we had the opportunity to enjoy this piece of paradise!

Perfect holiday weekend

The cabin was beautiful and quaint with everything we needed. Plenty of outdoor space to have a fire, lounge around, and enjoy the view of Lake Michigan. The location was perfect, very close to downtown Saugatuck, downtown Fennville, and Douglas. There are so many great things to do in the area so we had a pleasant mix of fun activities and leisure time. Communication was excellent and Will, who manages the property, is delightful.

Majestic

Woods mixed with beach= beautiful scenery. We had a fantastic time. Although it was a little cloudy to capture a perfect sunset, it was beautiful none the less. It was a short trip, but it was perfect place for it. I am sure we will book this again sometime.

Why they chose this property

Our Story....
begins every spring with the first of the guests that arrive after a seemingly long and gray winter season. We have always eagerly awaited the arrival of the families; some with children that can not wait to kick off shoes and run down the beach. There are the folks with the children being full grown and will enjoy a day or several - with them and the grandchildren, to enjoy the calming sound of Lake Michigan waves or the comfort of the country air to breathe. Certainly the wonderful friends that have returned year after year have become more like our extended family. Come and experience the calming effect of this cabin on the lake; you will experience the Lake Michigan shoreline like never before!
