Our family had an incredible time here! Communication leaving up to our reservation was clear and frequent, check in was easy and the stay was very comfortable! The kitchen and pantry are particularly well stocked (plenty of spices and condiments), the boathouse and kayaks were used almost daily and the main beach on lake michigan was very nearby. We felt right at home and hope to stay here again!

Wow! The pictures really capture this beautiful historic house – and the view from the huge porch is amazing as well. We had four adults and four older teens, and it was the perfect size for us, and the pool table and yard (for playing cornhole, which we brought) were a big hit. Having a large table indoors and outdoors was also great for group meals, and kitchen is very well stocked. Really, everything you might need is there, from extra towels to dog dishes – jamie and the homeowners have been incredibly thoughtful, and the house itself is really special, especially the many wood-frame windows, doors, staircase and built-ins. The trip up & down 60+ stairs to the lake also helps you reach your fitness goals… We enjoyed kayaking and paddle-boarding with the equipment provided, and also biked on nearby bike trails. The lake has a lot of vegetation, so not the best for swimming, so we also spent a lot of time at the nearby lake michigan beach, which is walkable (25 min or so) or an easy bike ride or very short drive. There was a great food truck at the beach parking lot several of the days we were there. The house is part of a 120 year old private association; that and the location of the steps down to the lake contribute to it not being very private for visitors, as people regularly walk across the front (lakeside) yard to reach the stairs or a neighbor’s house–it’s also likely that someone will help you remember the parking and speed limit rules if needed. Overall, it was beautiful and there is a lot to do in the area, and jamie is an amazing host!

We celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday along with 2 other couples and the house was perfect for our group. It is exactly as pictured and was stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Jamie was very prompt with communicating and also was able to accommodate our late checkout request, which was so nice! The location is also lovely and we enjoyed kayaking around white lake and also the short drive to the beach at lake michigan. I would highly recommend this house for large groups and will definitely look to stay here again.

This place is absolutely incredible – the interior, exterior and location are all stellar. We had 12 people and had more than enough room for everyone. The kitchen is well-stocked, the pool table provided some great indoor fun, and the porches are the perfect place to hang out. The kayaks and paddle boards were an appreciated perk, and we also spent plenty of time at nearby medbery park on lake michigan. Jamie was incredibly accommodating, and provided prompt communication.

This house is stunning! We had a large group coming to celebrate a wedding after the world shut down from covid. The home had tons of common spaces for gathering as well as so many private rooms to have some time alone as needed There’s no AC but there are quiet ceiling fans in every space as well as stand fans for common spaces (tons of windows too!) The kitchen has basic things stocked or left behind by other guests such as spices/butter and great cooking supplies (they even provide doggie biscuits of you bring a puppy!) The back porch is a stunning place for a cup of coffee and we will we had checked out the boat house earlier in our stay for sure! The host is super communicative and helps address issues pretty immediately! very welcoming and easy to work with.

The house is amazing. Interior is kept up perfectly and looks just like the pictures. All of the furniture is brand new and in great shape. Beds were extremely comfortable, including super soft sheets. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need. Plenty of space, we had 8 people and could have easily fit a couple more. Location is beautiful and super quiet. Stairs are steep down to the water, but we had a child on crutches on a cast who was able to navigate them safely. Host is responsive to all requests. We really enjoyed our time there.

This house was amazing. We loved every part of it. We stayed with our teenage and adult children, and they absolutely loved it also. We spent most of our days exploring michigan’s west coast beach towns, but at night- the house was perfect for our group! The pool table was a great touch for hours of entertainment, and the sonos sound system was amazing! We didn’t get a chance to use the boat house or paddle boards- but we did sit outside in the morning on the porch and enjoy our coffee. What a beautiful and amazing location and historical house.

Owner was great at responding to all questions and requests. The house was beautiful and had everything one would need to feel right at home! Spacious, great wifi and had a beautiful view! ! We didnt have time to take advantage of the kayaks or paddle boards, but a great plus! ! Quiet area, one mile to lake michigan to watch the beautiful sunsets! ! ! Everything about this home is fabulous! !
