Good location and amenities
The house was clean and had a great location overlooking the lake. The furniture could stand to be updated, but was otherwise well stocked.

Innacurate listing and needs renovation
There is only one reason to stay here, the lake. Great location but house needs some serious work. Dishwasher was hard to use because of broken silver ware baskets and it moved all over the place when you try to close door. Beds in two bedrooms are doubles, NOT queens, according to tag on mattress. Showerhead in one bathroom barely worked. Not enough blankets, sand everywhere. Also we found items previous guests left so makes you wonder how well it was cleaned. Living room furniture dirty/stained/damaged. There are a lot of vacation rentals in the area, so avoid this one.

Cute cabin
Came for a wedding in Saugatuk. Enjoyed making a fire inside, having a lake view and the farms/ciders near by. The only complaint is that the beds were too soft.

Lake Michigan Beach Home
Location is beautiful private beach surrounded by woods. Lovely. Home is comfortable, but could use some throw rugs to catch all the sandy surrounding soil. Wished that it came with some boogie boards for the surf. The shower and sink in the larger bathroom did not work. the Sink would not drain, and the shower flipper was missing. We notified VACASA as soon as we noticed this. Daily texts back and forth, but they NEVER came to fix it. We were there for 5 nights. This was an inconvenience. VACASA did give me a $166.50 refund, but in my opinion, the overall EXTRA fees that VACASA adds to the price of this property is NOT worth it.

We would have appreciated a foot pan at the back door to wash off the sand and the night light on the microwave working. We had a very nice time.

Beautiful views
Wonderful location with beautiful views. The oven didn't work so that put a damper on some food items. Alot of steps to the beach! I did not realize this the pictures did or info did not reveal this. It would have been nice to know. Limited mobility friend couldn't get to the beach. I would highly recommend it for physically able persons.

Nice location, beatifull view of sunset, needs more cleaning
We loved the stay in the cottage: very nice view of the lake, nice landing in the middle of staircase, and beach is nice, but kind of short; not good if you like long walks on the beach. Also floors and rug in living room was very dirty. You cannot walk in the cottage bare foot, dirt is everywhere. For the money they charge for this place it should be spotless.

Beautiful Property - Serene
This property is special. Serene and beautiful. The home is light and airy and lots of places to sit that are comfortable. We used it as a writers retreat and for that is was pretty close to perfect. The shore was by turns desolate and perfect for inward reflection and at others, vibrant with magical multicolored sunsets. Just one note, and I realize others have stated this in their reviews: two of the beds in the small bedrooms are not queens. They are fulls. The bed in the master bedroom is a queen. All this was fine for us, but it's not true that they are all queen size beds. I would love to come back here. It was a splendid weekend.

Great view of lake, cute cabin
The beds were described as queens, but two are only full size and they are very soft mattresses, hammock like. House is functional, lake is sublime. Short private beach, no public access.
