Cabin with a view!

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Right above the beach with a gorgeous view of lake Michigan. My wife and I started the week just the two of us and added a couple of kids and grandkids throughout the week. Plenty of room for everyone and everything we needed plus games and puzzles and all the stuff we needed for bonfires. We had a wonderful time! room for all and

This is our 4th time staying here. It is a wonderful location. There are only 70 steps to the beach. Very private. All you need is provided. When there was an issue it was dealt with promptly. We will be staying there again

Family Getaway

We loved our stay! This property is so well appointed; they’ve thought of everything. Lots of dishes and stocked kitchen so we had fun preparing meals and eating together at the large dining room table overlooking the lake. Kayaks and paddle boards were a nice addition for impromptu voyage into the lake. Great for bonfires. Steps to upstairs are a little tricky to navigate for older family members and pets.

Great beach at the log cabin

We loved the cabin -very clean-comfortable-well equipped- nice touches- and the beach was wide and gorgeous to the south for miles. Please let us know if you add AC and we will come back in the summer sometime. Thanks for sharing your log cabin !

Charming!

We loved the character of this historic cabin. It is clearly cared for with pride + TLC. The beautiful beach is the main attraction, but we spent lots of time admiring the details of the cabin inside + out…it’s very special! So happy to have found a dog-friendly spot along the shores of Lake Michigan. We definitely hope to be back!

Another Great Stay!

You will not be disappointed! Read the reviews - the best sunsets on Lake Michigan and such a fantastic house. We love the area and visit twice a year. Barb's house is just perfect for us, clean, well-appointed, and responsive. We look forward to our next stay. Highly recommended.

Perfect

Another fantastic vacation at a true vintage gem! We loved the superbly stocked house, enjoyed the sipping-hummingbird porch, lazed on the private beach that had great chairs and fun boats to use! The owners of this place have thought of every detail- beach towels, good kitchen stuff, outdoor dog bowls, etc. We cannot wait to spend another week here next summer- it's just a magic place.

A Special Place

This property is just as described in the listing. It was a perfect house and location for my husband and to spend time with his 3 siblings and spouses. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was well supplied. The Lake Michigan view was spectacular and we all took several walks on the beach. It was a treat to stay there.

Comfy Cabin

Was very nice staying at the log cabin. Views of the water were great from the backyard and a very quick walk down the stairs to the large beachfront with very soft sand. House was clean and well appointed. Fun game room in the basement and lots of places to sit throughout. Would stay here again. Thanks so much Barb and Bruce!
