What a wonderful week! We couldn’t have picked a my beautiful place for our stay — the cabin is even better than we imagined. 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.

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.

The epitome of beautiful lakeside cabins

Great location! Easy to get to, but also semi-private. Gorgeous 1930’s log cabin home that retains plenty of its original charm with many modern amenities and comforts! We just completed our third consecutive rental of this cabin for the third consecutive year. We are college roommates and friends that get together annually in midwinter. Barb is an excellent, easy to reach and accommodating host. So kind and so responsive if you have questions before, during or after your stay. We hope to continue re ting for years to come and we appreciate Barb and family making their beautiful home available to us! 5 stars for sure! Thank you!

Family Getaway

We loved our stay! This property is so well appointed; they’ve thought of everything. Lots of dishes and stocked kitchen so we had fun preparing meals and eating together at the large dining room table overlooking the lake. Kayaks and paddle boards were a nice addition for impromptu voyage into the lake. Great for bonfires. Steps to upstairs are a little tricky to navigate for older family members and pets.

Spectacular!

This property was outstanding! It absolutely met our needs for a family vacation. The house was super clean and was well stocked with pantry items, towels for bath and beach, beach activities, and more. My first view of Lake Michigan as I rounded the side of the house literally took my breath away. Our group was all over 70 years old, so the stairs to the beach were a little daunting, but most of us managed at least one or two trips down them. I truly did not want to leave at week’s end! Barb was so nice to work with and very quick to respond. The Red Rooster Tavern close by was fun for lunch, dinner, or just a cold beer. I would totally rent this place again and hope to go back soon. Grocery was easy access about 15 minutes away and we also went up to the White Lake Light Station…a lovely old lighthouse and museum.

We loved the character of this historic cabin. It is clearly cared for with pride + TLC. The beautiful beach is the main attraction, but we spent lots of time admiring the details of the cabin inside + out…it’s very special! So happy to have found a dog-friendly spot along the shores of Lake Michigan. We definitely hope to be back!
