Lovely home with tons of space. Screened porch was our favorite evening gathering place. Owner was quick to respond with questions.

18 family members were able to stay comfortably in this large house. It has everything you need. A great spot to gather! The only thing was the listing mentioned the beach was so close, only walking distance. But these were all closed because of high lake levels and erosion. We had to pile 18 people and beach stuff into cars to go to beach and then there wasn’t parking. But it worked out in the end!

This was our third time at this property. It was as great as before. A wonderful place for our growing family to spend some quality time together.

The house was well appointed and comfortable. Large kitchen and well appointed. The sun room made for a great gathering space. Location was great—- we were just a few blocks from the lake. The owners were very quick responding to our inquiries. I really recommend this house for families. We had our family reunion here and look fwd to possible renting here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great house for a large family get together. Walking distance to the beach and a small playground made it great with small kids-large kitchen and dining areas- lots of rooms/ back porch for family conversation and games. Would highly recommend it!

This was our 2nd year at this property. Just like last year, it was great! This is a perfect place for our large family to get together for a few days of fun.

The house was clean and bright. Very well stocked for fun with family and friends!❤️ Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

Claire’s house is a lovely, large, well kept summer home on a beautifully landscaped lot just three blocks from the beach There was plenty of room for our large family of 10 adults and six grandchildren There was everything you would need or want for a beach vacation. Hoping to come back next summer ,a big thumbs up from our crew!

We loved the screened in porch. It was perfect for sitting outside at night and keeping the bugs away. The kayak and Maui Mat made our day at the beach so much fun. We felt like we were staying at a family home and Claire was very helpful with any questions we had. Thank you!

This house is great for large group gatherings. There are plenty of beds and a lot of space to spread out. We enjoyed the large kitchen and the screened in back porch the most. The property owners are very responsive and answered all of my questions. We were able to fit 7 cars on the property with no issue.

House was spacious. Had everything we needed for a large family reunion. The yard and deck were fantastic.

Plenty of room for everybody. Well equipped for fun and adventure. A beautiful beach is only a short walk away.

My family very much enjoyed our stay at this home nestled in a heavily wooded neighborhood near Lake Michigan. The house was bigger than I had anticipated judging from the pictures. The rooms on the first floor were roomy, uncluttered, and had plenty of windows. The Kitchen is large enough for a few people to work at the same time and has surrounding counters enough for seven to be seated on stools. Sliding glass doors on the back of the kitchen lead to the delightful large screened porch which has an uncovered deck extending further back into the yard. In the back of the yard you will find a basketball court which added to our enjoyment. A well equipped ping pong table is in the basement. We spent a lot of time in the evenings eating, talking and playing games on the screened porch and one of my brothers established himself for morning reading and coffee on one of the large wicker chairs. The second and third floors have plenty of beds and windows. The third floor is especially well suited as a dormitory. The bathrooms were clean and roomy but the only shower I used was the one outside not far from the porch. We enjoyed strolling, jogging, or biking through the wooded neighborhood filled with charming and elegant homes new and old. The Lake is a pleasant two or three block walk away and is as much a fresh water ocean as it is a lake. The home is charming and comfortable and very functional with an atmosphere of fun and family. My family agreed this is the place for which we've been looking for our yearly family reunion. Jim Bard St Paul, MN

The house was just the right size for our large family of 12 adults and 6 kids. Plenty of space for us to gather together but still have our own space. The walk to the beach was enjoyably short. (Short enough for even my 1.5 year old to walk it!) We had so much fun with the water lily and especially the kayak and paddleboard. When not at the beach we spent lots of time on the covered porch grilling and enjoying each others company. We really couldn't have asked for a better stay.
