We enjoyed this house and for the most part it worked for us. The only problem we had was the oven did not work or maybe we didn’t know how to work it as it is an older style oven. We loved that the house has a screened in porch and is a 5 minute walk to the beach. This house is great for a small family who doesn’t mind the old fashioned home feeling.

What was great: the fireplace, the spaciousness, the many windows, the area is beautiful, and being literally steps from the lake. What wasn’t: a bit too many things, unfortunately. Walking in, the place smelled of mold. All the curtains were drawn so it was dark and not welcoming. There were signs everywhere about what not to do. There’s a ring of dirt around the entire perimeter of the kitchen floor. There was a rushing noise behind the basement door so we were too weirded out to open it. There’s a ground wire sticking out of an outlet, wrapped around a faceplate screw. The oak floors, albeit beautiful, were filthy. Doors stick and don’t shut well. There’s an 8 foot long crack in the ceiling at a structural point. The bathroom was unpleasant. While the sink and toilet appeared clean, the floor around the toilet was gross and the vinyl made the whole room feel dirty. The shower grout, the falling-apart caulk, and dirty shower liner were all moldy, the in-wall soap dish rusted, and a shower wall is bowing in which is very bad. My husband refused to shower there. We weren’t comfortable, wondering what else might be icky. The laminated cards with area and check out info fell behind the kitchen cabinets so I couldn’t be sure I got everything done. Considering the painfully high cleaning fees alone were more than the rate of our two nights’ stay, I can’t say I feel bad if I did miss anything as we paid a lot for cleaning and the place was already dirty.

It was a wonderful location and beautiful neighborhood. A cozy cottage with lots of vintage charm. Loved it! Wish I could have stayed longer.

The place is in a wonderful area and the beach right down the street has a phenomenally scenic view. The place is nice enough, not as much so as the photos however - the cleaning was an issue and so was the door. We arrived to the place easy enough, but when opening the door, the lock physically wouldn’t turn; it took an hour of working it for it to finally give in (not fix, actually give in) and turn. Maintenance did come out to the place but only sprayed some WD-40 on it, commenting that the property owners were told to replace the tough lock multiple times. The house was musty upon arrival (fixed with lowering the AC all night) and the silverware wasn’t fully clean + had hair on them. Things got taken care of, and Vacasa was SUPER communicative, along with our stay still being enjoyable… but damn was it a tough sell to start.

The homes were close together, yet felt private because of the wooded area they were in. Friendly people and the beach area nearby was not too crowded. Most restaurants were within 15 to 20 minute drive. The time difference between Michigan and Indiana was a bit confusing because my cell phone kept switching back and forth. Overall great stay.

Bathroom needs to be updated, as well as electrical outlets. Not what I would expect from a Marriott Listing.
