Jon was easy to get a hold of and he answered me right away. My family enjoyed staying there. There was 10 of us and plenty of room in this home for all of us. I cooked a couple of meals a day here & there was plenty of dishes, pan, & utensils to accommodate us. It is very close to everything we wanted to visit, Lake Michigan, sand dunes, light house, and fun stuff and good eats downtown. I would stay there again.

Perfect place for multiple families! Great location and great outdoor area for bonfires and for kids to play. The house has a "lived in" feel and that helped put me at ease with having younger children. I wasn't constantly on edge fearing my kids would break something. We will definitely book this house again!
