This was the first time at this property for vacation, loved that it had a private beach and able to watch the sunset nightly. We already booked for next year😀.

We love coming to W Michigan every summer, renting a house for a week. Even more so now w 2 babies. This house was a clean, rustic, quiet spot. In a private community that’s isolated from the main tow, right behind the lakeside dunes. The stair access to the lake was washed away, but only about a 1/4-1/3 mile walk (partially thru the woods) to get to private, isolated, quiet beach. The HOA beach was, honestly, nicer than going to the public ones, no crowds, at most only 1 other family down there, and was a doable walk for our 2 year old. The neighbors in the association were pretty welcoming, the next door neighbors were also from Chicago (and apparently had the cabin in their family for ~100 yrs). The house itself was what we’re looking for. A simple cottage for the babies and us. Quiet at night. Short walk to the beach because with a 2 month old infant, we’d need to ensure we could easily shuttle b/w the beach and home for an emergency. Big gas grill which we used most nights. A lovely firepit which we didn’t use because we honestly had no time b/c of the babies, but if they were older we definitely would’ve set up for s’mores a couple of nights. A nice part is the backside of the private community is a big, privately owned lagoon (Norton Sand Co) that separates you from the main town. So it’s quiet. But just a 5 minute drive to get into town and only 7-10 minutes to Pere Marquette beach and the restaurants there. Downtown Muskegon had a bunch of nice shops, vendors, and restos. The town is trying hard to make it a social district where you bring out your family on a weekend day or evening (sand volleyball, cornhole, picnic tables, open containers, lots of food vendors). And Kim was VERY accommodating w our pooch. We made sure to keep up w cleaning/vacuuming during the week for his shedding, the house has all the cleaning supplies you need, and check in/out was very easy. Definitely will come back w the babies.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Beautiful, woodsy setting, atop dunes. Short walk & climb down a short dune to a ( mostly) private sandy beach right on Lake Michigan.

My family had a great stay at this house! It had enough room for us and our two teens. Loved the plenty of seating to enjoy the campfire and playing board games. The house is tucked away in the woods bud still very close to town and beaches. It was great seeing the many deer and turkeys that you can see from any vantage point.

This house is wonderful! It was sparklingly clean when we arrived. It was just as advertised with very cute and comfortable furnishings. The stairs to the lake had been recently repaired and went right down to the lake. The location of the house is fantastic, close to everything, including the big public beach on Lake Michigan. We had all the room we wanted, were very comfortable, and loved the house!! The property managers are extremely gracious and wonderful!! I cannot wait to go back next summer! I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a roomy, comfortable hideaway in the woods. It cannot be beaten!!

This is the second time I've stayed at this property and I enjoyed it each time. The house is clean comfortable and has everything someone would need. The backyard has a fire pit and plenty of chairs for campfires and making s'mores. I would definitely recommend this property!

We had the opportunity to have an extended stay at this property. It is a very well maintained property and we enjoyed every day there. We enjoyed the beach when we could and it seems like you are in the middle of paradise and only minutes away from everything.

My wife, daughter and I and our family stayed here for a week and had a great time. It was really nice to have our dog with us, however the beach is shared and some of the other people at the beach did not care for dogs. Beach is amazing, albeit it quite small so if multiple families are on the beach it does feel crowded. Cottage itself is very comfortable. Owner is very responsive and took care of the few issues we had in a timely manner. Overall, we had a great time!

We recently had the pleasure of spending a week at this wonderful home. It couldn't have been any better. The house is set in secluded woods in a very quiet setting. The house has everything you could need for a family vacation. The owner was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We have vacationed in Michigan several times and never had access to what I would call a private beach. The beach access is only a couple 100 yards away from the home and it is awesome with breathtaking sunsets.The location allowed us to also make a couple college visits to WMU and MSU. We would jump at the chance to stay here again and would recommend this house to anyone that wants to have a relaxing vacation in a very cozy home with a private beach!

Beautiful house surrounded by nature but only minutes from town. We saw deer, wild turkeys, pilated woodpeckers, and much more on a daily basis. The house was well kept and felt like home. The owner was gracious and very accommodating. We had the private beach to ourselves every time we went there! Sitting on the porch surrounded by the sounds of nature was so wonderful we did not want to leave!
