The cabin is always immaculate when we arrive with everything we need. This year, having the drive, the parking area and the walkway up to the cabin freshly plowed and shoveled was so nice. The chocolates were a great touch also!
We had an amazing time! The views were spectacular and the cabin was very cozy! The host added so many little extras that just made it feel more like home!! We will definitely come back again.
This is a nice property. The cabin has a lot of character. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved the property, nice front yard, and back yard, and beach! The steps to the Lake are not bad. Beautiful sandy beach. Had a nice stay and would come back.
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!
What a wonderful property! So much thought put in to every detail. A huge shoutout to the owners for making sure our fishing party had a great time. Very, very relaxing in a quaint atmosphere.
We, all 8 of us, loved our stay here. Third year in a row for our siblings winter birthday get-together and we have had a fantastic time each year. Beautiful, comfortable cabin with fantastic sunset views.Love it, Love it, Love it! Feels like home now.
Everything about this place is awesome!!! Great yard with a fire pit and large private beach. The cabin is super clean, with nice comfy beds. The kitchen is well stocked. You won’t be disappointed staying here. It was absolutely perfect for our family!!
This is our second year coming back to this beautiful classic cabin. The whole ambience/environment is welcoming and cozy. The host, Barb, goes out of her way to take care of issues and questions. Love the view.
We loved the cabin -very clean-comfortable-well equipped- nice touches- and the beach was wide and gorgeous to the south for miles.
Please let us know if you add AC and we will come back in the summer sometime.
Thanks for sharing your log cabin !
You will not be disappointed! Read the reviews - the best sunsets on Lake Michigan and such a fantastic house. We love the area and visit twice a year. Barb's house is just perfect for us, clean, well-appointed, and responsive. We look forward to our next stay. Highly recommended.
This is our 4th time staying here. It is a wonderful location. There are only 70 steps to the beach. Very private. All you need is provided. When there was an issue it was dealt with promptly. We will be staying there again
This property is just as described in the listing. It was a perfect house and location for my husband and to spend time with his 3 siblings and spouses. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was well supplied. The Lake Michigan view was spectacular and we all took several walks on the beach. It was a treat to stay there.
Lots of character, thoughtfully appointed, amazing backyard overlooking the lake, with multiple ways to take it in (back porch, hammock, firepit circle, picnic table for meals, and more), and beautiful, unpopulated stretch of beach. Perfect.
Another fantastic vacation at a true vintage gem! We loved the superbly stocked house, enjoyed the sipping-hummingbird porch, lazed on the private beach that had great chairs and fun boats to use! The owners of this place have thought of every detail- beach towels, good kitchen stuff, outdoor dog bowls, etc. We cannot wait to spend another week here next summer- it's just a magic place.
We like this area, so looked for a house last minute this year. The house was better than the pics! Really neat/fun house…we really enjoyed our stay! The beach is huge and the highlight, with kayaks, umbrellas, tables, etc. Also a great view of the water from the house..and shaded backyard to hangout. Barb very responsive to help! Great family week!
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.
The cabin was exactly as advertised. Right above the beach with a gorgeous view of lake Michigan. My wife and I started the week just the two of us and added a couple of kids and grandkids throughout the week. Plenty of room for everyone and everything we needed plus games and puzzles and all the stuff we needed for bonfires. We had a wonderful time!
room for all and
My 3 siblings and their spouses and my wife and I, ages 60-77 came together to celebrate birthdays, our second year in a row. We love this place! Lots of room for big meals, time around the fire and long walks on the beach. It has everything we need for a late winter get-a-way!
Thanks Barb for all the extra touches. We hope to be back again next year.
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!
My husband and I and our 2 sons and spouses stayed at this charming cottage for our annual family vacation. We could not have asked for a better setting for relaxing and reconnecting. The property was as described and exceeded our expectations for extras like towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, life jackets and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beach was spectacular and we had it to ourselves this time of year. Overall a very nice property for a quiet beach vacation. Would recommend.
This house is gorgeous with spectacular views, tons to do for the kids and adults in the house and yard as well as on the beach and in the water. Stunning views of the lake and sunsets, even caught view of a rainbow as the thunderstorm came in to shore. Barb was very kind and quick with responses. The house is clean and well cared for with the normal oddities of an older house/cabin. Everyone in my family had an amazing stay!
Michigan is our go to family vacation spot. Each year we are renting different home in different location and this one did not disappointed.
Fantastic location with beautiful private beach. House is very charming, clean and has plenty of siting areas indoor and outdoor. Several special touches like hummingbird feeders with tons of little visitors, hammock overlooking the Lake Michigan, playhouse for kids, fire pit on the beach and on the backyard, kayaks and more.
We love our stay 😍Everyone was happy didn’t want to go back home. Thank you!
Our family of 6 adults and 2 dogs had a lovely 3 days at this spacious, cozy and comfortable retreat. Beautiful views, stargazing and sharing stories, songs and warm drinks in the ample living space. It was great that we had enough room for everyone to have their privacy for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked, the decor eclectic and thoughtful, the flannel sheets and towels fluffy and new. Barb was an excellent host with good communication. We will certainly be back. Thank you!
