Cozy house on the water

We enjoyed our weekend on the lake at this cozy house on Lake Michigan. Excellent water views & nearby (walkable) beach/dunes at Silver Lake State Park. House is small but nicely decorated & very clean. Firepit is a nice touch for campfire on next to the lake. Fyi for longer stays it could be challenging since no washer/dryer.

Autumn stay on beach

I took my mom for a birthday celebration stay on the beach, and we loved it. The view is amazing, the decor was beautiful, very comfortable and homey. The communication with the host was easy and friendly. They were very informative and took care of our needs while we stayed there. We will definitely keep this on our list of destinations.

Dunes summer vacation

AMAZING. If you love the beach and want to be near the dunes this house is wonderful. You can’t beat the view! It was very cute, nicely remodeled and clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom was nicely remodeled also with a big shower. It was hot when we were there, I was worried it would be sticky without A/C but with the windows open and the fans it very comfortable. The bed was so comfortable! The beach is just a short walk and is our favorite beach in the area. You do have to accommodate a fairly steep hill to the beach. There are side ropes and a beach mat on the path to assist you but for someone that has health issues it may be difficult. We had no problem and our grandchildren easily maneuvered it as well all while carrying chairs and beach toys. You can hear the vehicles on the dunes but for us that wasn’t a problem at all. The deck was nice with a great view. We especially enjoyed the fire pit. Great campfires with the sound of waves crashing on the rocks - very therapeutic. We will definitely be coming back to this house!
