Amazing property and property manager, beds not great
Amazing stay overall. Mike was a great host and helped us with sheets and towels since we came from out of state. The deck was amazingly close to the water.The cabin was charmingly rustic, as were the mattresses :)

Amazing view! Beware lots of stairs though
We had an amazing time at this property! The view is breathtaking & there was LOTS of beach this year.  Kids loved swimming & the sunsets.  The house has new siding & a new deck on the other side w/ new stairs, which was not shown in the pictures. The new deck is fantastic! Just be aware that there are about 48 steps from the deck to the beach. It was tiring to carry our infant child, but the kids managed just fine. There are also about 20 steps leading from the car to the house, which, to be honest, was tough while carrying all our things, especially all that small children require. It might be difficult for those with young families that pack more or for people with physical limitations. The listing mentioned A/C, but there wasn't anything upon arrival. We did find a portable A/C in the closet, & when I asked the owner about it, he said it worked and we could install it. The install was easy, but it would have been nice if it was already taken care of. We were mostly concerned for our infant daughter not to overheat while sleeping. There was an ant problem in the kitchen.  There were ant traps, but they didn't do anything.  We cleaned up everything immediately & kept our food in an airtight container that we brought.  It was a little hard with little kids, but we will definitely return in a couple years!

Slice of Paradise
Sitting in the cabin or on the deck you experience the stunning view of Lake Michigan with all of it's continually changing glory! Peaceful, serene, quiet, and remote on this lovely association property with lots and lots of nature surrounding you - yet you are 15-20 minutes from the store. And oh my, the sunsets... If you like to cook, it's all here. If you like walking the beach, it's lovely! If you like to relax, you've come to the right place! If you like solitude (my trip was on the shoulder season) this cabin won't dissapoint! If you are looking for fancy and brand new, you won't find it. This is a lovely comfy place. If stairs are an issue, there are stairs to get to the cabin and to the beach. If dirt roads are an issue, you are going to drive on one. Like a previous review, wise to arrive before sundown as a first timer! The owner, Mike is responsive, communicative and friendly.

Great Cottage Getaway
This cottage was great for our mid-winter weekend getaway. It is remotely located on Lake Michigan. We were glad it was not snowy as the road would have been a challenge, but we loved the location. The cottage was clean and cozy and Mike was great with communication. We would stay again!

The cabin is clean, warm, and pleasant, and the views of Lake Michigan out of just about every window are medicine for the spirit. My trip was in the winter and it offered just the solitude and quiet I was needing. I will be coming back!

Peaceful & Beautiful
If one seeks physical beauty, sweeping views, and a very friendly, cooperative host, it will be difficult not to really enjoy this spot. Now, are there more upscale properties? Of course. But this has all one actually needs for essential comfort: decks, endless beach, small but fully functional kitchen, cable/sat. tv, tons of greenery. And then there’s the expansive view of what for all intents and purposes is an inland ocean. This isn’t luxurious. But it does boast ample qualities that add up to wonderful, satisfying vacations. Ours was precisely that.

Cool but comfortable, water was chilly because of two days of rain but enough sunshine for beach activities. We also rented ski boat on Silver Lake and canoed on white River. Gorgeous beach and view despite cramped quarters. We all had a great time!

Best beach and view, challenging inconvenient location and access. Average accommodations. Weather conditions the last week of June less than favorable and quite a bit of smoke in the air from forest fires in Canada. Despite the environmental conditions we had a good time.

Weekend stay
Very nice place, right on the beach. The house sits on a dune. Best to check in while it's light out, otherwise it's easy to miss the several turns from US-31. Beds comfy, kitchen fully stocked, everything was clean. (Keep in mind that you must bring your own bedding, towels, etc.). There were clear instructions for check in and good communication with the host. The neighborhood was very quiet and safe, the view was spectacular. Thanks!

Lakefront Cottage
First of all- the location, view and beach are stunning. Absolutely beautiful and so quiet and peaceful. The new deck and stairs are very nice and the water level has gone down so there was lots of sandy beach. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it wasn’t very clean. I totally understand it’s a cottage in a remote area and my expectations and standard were not high. I’ve stayed in cottages my whole life and understand they get sandy and aren’t going to be spotless. However- a basic cleaning should still be able to get main areas decently clean. There were muddy footprints in the shower which I wiped off easily with just paper towel. When I was setting up my daughters pack n play there were chunks of food on the carpet in the bedroom and the bathroom sink wasn’t clean either. The house itself has so much potential to be exceptional it just could use some love and general repair. Overall nothing that would keep me from coming again- but I didn’t think it fair to give 5 stars. I would recommend staying here.
