"Such a relaxing stay with a breathtaking view. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the last few days of summer!"
Lauren R.
"The views of Lake Michigan from the cottage and from the various decks were amazing. Watched the sunset every night and had the bonus of watching the moon rise and set as well. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a much needed peaceful and relaxing stay!"
Darci N.
"I had a wonderful stay on Lake Michigan. The house was as described and the photos in the listing are a good representation of the house and surroundings. The views from the deck are outstanding. There are both stairs (at a neighboring property) and a trail down to the beach, both less than 5 minutes from the house to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach felt semi-private. Great get away."
Brittany A.
"Lovely lake cabin with fantastic view and location. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed and was nice and clean. The deck/view/location are amazing! My wife and I both think this is a great lake home and highly recommend it!"

We absolutely loved our stay. It was clean, roomy and the location is great. You are 72 steps from the beach! It is 3 miles from a grocery store and you don’t get the Grand Haven traffic. If you still to go to Grand Haven, it is only 15 minutes away.

We had a great stay! The view was amazing. It will be great when the stairs to the beach are installed, but it wasn’t a problem to walk a couple houses down to the neighborhood stairs. It would have been nice to know that the entry road was not paved. The beach was really nice and the area was peaceful. Thanks!

Very nice house with great location. Close to everything, yet very quiet setting. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely house right on the lake. Was just as expected

Great location and views! The house was very clean and comfortable. Views of the lake are fantastic. Updated appliances, however the refrigerator was uneven.
The stairs to the beach are actually two properties to the north and are not easily accessible. One needs to walk down two steep sandy slopes to reach the top of the stairs. The beach is great. Good sand quality for making sand castles.
The fire pit needs to be replaced as the bottom is rusted out. Did not use it for that reason.
Turkeys, deer and black squirrels visited us during our stay.

We found the house to be clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Check-in and check-out was easy, and the manager was communicative and responsive. The view and deck stole the show! Two things would have made our stay even better. The only way to get down to the private beach right now is to walk to the neighborhood access stairs (which even with typed directions were difficult to locate). However, I know there is a plan to have the home's private stairs rebuilt in the near future. The other thing to be aware of is that the full bathroom is located within the secondary bedroom. The half bath is located right next to it right off the kitchen. If you are traveling with family or close friends, perhaps this would not be an issue. But if not, then you will become close very quickly! All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

Nice house, spectacular views, very clean. Just a bummer you can't get down to the beach due to all the erosion.

If you're looking for excellent Lake Michigan views and sunsets, this place has it. We chose it primarily because it was right on the lake, and the calming sounds of the waves, beach view, and sunsets were just what we were looking for. The private beach was quiet and only a short walk away.
The house was very clean (and it's hard to keep all that sand away), the showers were hot, and the beds were comfortable.
We'd definitely come again. Being right on the water was perfect.

It was the perfect Lake house for my family of four. The view is absolutely gorgeous off the back deck. We enjoyed the sunsets. The drive is about 7 mins to the public beach. We loved the beach and being so close was nice having two toddlers. There aren't many restaurants in the area but that was ok for us as we love to do breakfast and lunch in which is why we like staying in houses. We did go out one night to The Deck which in my opinion is a must.
The house was clean and we didn't have any issues. The only thing that is bummer is that you can't get down the private beach area. They must have had some nasty storms that ruined the walkway to it. But we didn't let that ruin our stay because who can control weather. Overall I'd recommend this Lake home to any one.

We were disappointed in the cleanliness of this place. Glass sliding doors, for instance had some kind of cleaner streaking on it and it made it almost impossible to see out. There was small pieces of miscellaneous trash here and there. Just didn’t feel clean. Also, you should make sure prospective renters know that there is quite a climb down and back up a large dune if you want to get to the beach. Somewhat difficult for older adults. The Unsalted Vacations team were very communicative and we appreciated that!

My partner and 3 kiddos spent the long weekend at this beautiful cottage. It was clean and as described. Kids loved water accessed via the HOA beach and the views were spectacular.

Always easy to do.

This property is clean, quaint, well-kept and the views are spectacular! I hope that the agency updates the photos and wording and I hope the owners can solve the erosion. As many cottages along Lake Michigan - I hope this one doesn’t succumb to Mother Nature.

A great getaway that provide a peaceful place to stay, beautiful scenario of Lake Michigan from the back deck, private beach a short hike away and restaurants and activities a short drive away. My teenage said he enjoyed the quiet, peacefulness and the great food (Dockers restaurant was great), while my pre-teen enjoyed miniature golf and renting jet skis. I enjoyed our long bike ride and stopping at the restaurant by the public beach for a nice lunch outdoors. My husband mentioned about everything we enjoyed.
We felt at home as soon as we arrived in the house. It was clean, and hard surface floors throughput. The washer and dryer enabled us to keep towels and swim suits clean and we could have easily packed a lot less and washed more.
Loved the place. Definitely will keep on our list as a place to go back to visit.
