Quiet weekend

Enjoyed a quiet weekend away with my partner. He liked to close proximity to the bike trail, I like the comfortable couch to work on my crochet project. The views are stunning. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meals. The bedroom was lovely with the seating in the window (again, stunning views). A home!

Dream on the Shore of Lake Michigan

They home was perfect for a relaxing stay with family. Our hosts shared great information on options in area. Left games and all that is critical to relax and stayed in close touch with experience. So close to great golf you must play and perhaps one of the best Italian meals we have had in Michigan. Oh and most importantly the lake at your doorstep. Lovely & Grateful

Exceptional Vacation Spot to Unwind

This is a great house and location. Exceptionally clean with the small amenities that are always helpful when setting up for a week long vacation house. There are excpetional beaches, restaurants, hiking trails, and golf nearby. A quiet special place from our perspective.

Perfect Beachfront Getaway

Listening to waves rolling up on the back porch of this cozy home is just what the doctor ordered. Charming town 10 mins away provided a perfect 3-day weekend break from work. And the golf… oh the golf just miles away is spectacular.

Wonderful getaway- beautiful views- fall asleep listening to lake michigan

Would highly recommend- beautiful views from every room and deck. Love listening to the waves of Lake Michigan. House super cute with very comfortable beds and so well stocked. I love the personal touch of adding a local bottle of wine and also that they have more than the basic stashes of things you want when you stay at a VRBO. Definitely want to come back again and hosts were so communicative and gave great recommendations.

Beautiful!

The home is beautiful and comfortable with amazing views of Lake Michigan. We watched sunsets over the water every night, enjoying the deck and stairs to sandy beach. Had a wonderful fire when it was chilly and opened windows to the breeze when it was warm. The owners responded immediately when we had questions and were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place for a fabulous stay!

Awesome house!!

We had a great time celebrating our Mom’s 80th birthday. House was very well furnished and great space to rest, relax, play games, enjoy the fireplace on cool winter weekend and just watch Lake Michigan and take in the view. Incredible sunsets. Highly recommend this home. Had everything we needed and more.

Weekend Birthday Get Away

This place was amazing! I was looking for a quiet relaxing place to decompress from my hectic life. The waves calmed my soul and lulled me to sleep each night. Walking the beach was so peaceful and quiet. I will definitely be staying here again! How itself was so nice, loved the large living room windows where I could watch the sunset and moon set over the water.

Lake Michigan Beauty

The house was wonderful! It had everything we needed for making meals each day. There was no need to go far as the views and from the house and deck are spectacular! There are no words to describe the sunsets or the many colors of blue we saw in the sky and water. Thank you to Mercedes and Pete for a very relaxing and memorable stay!

The VIEWS as soon as you step in are BREATHTAKING!We stayed for a week and had a wonderful family vacation here. The Lake/Beach is 25ish steps down the deck. We had the beach to ourselves. Bring your binoculars, kites, and paddleboards as we did and enjoy. Make sure to go to the nearby 1.5 miles or so away Baldy Dunes (park one vehicle in the parking area and leave another vehicle at the rental) and walk the Baldy trail to the dune then take the sand dune down to the beach and walk the beach front back to the rental. Then get in your 2nd vehicle and drive back to the baldy dune parking area to get your other vehicle. It's about a 3 mile hike. The beach walk back is one of the prettiest peaceful walks. We also visited the marsh preserve and nearby Frankfort. We prepared most all meals and ate at the rental. It was a clean, comfortable, beautiful stay. Mercedes was quick to respond to me with all communication. We had a minor issue and she sent a technician out immed to check out/remedy our concern. We hope to be back again. It's the perfect relaxing beach stay.

Golf week May 21-26, 2023

We stayed at the property for 5 days while were golfing at Arcadia Bluffs. The property is amazing, from the location, to the view of Lake Michigan. T It is better than the pictures and communication with the owner was great! I would stay here again if I was coming up to Arcadia Bluffs. Five stars all the way! Thank you Mercedes!

A little piece of heaven

This property is everything the other reviews say it is and more. The owners were awesome and very responsive. You can't say enough about the view of the lake when you walk in and what no one says is how cozy this cottage is. It was perfect for the person whose agenda was to just gaze at the lake, enjoy a wonderful fire and just relax.
