All the details and efforts taken to make this place cozy and welcoming were impeccable. The sunsets were amazing, the restaurants close by were really good.

Beautiful home, however the spiral stair case to access the bedroom is quite small. We arrived to check in after dark and there are two large buildings on the property, google maps puts you at the parking area (large brick building NEXT to the actual house) which was a bit confusing. The walk way is dim lit, and a bit of a trip hazard if you’re not using a light after dark.

Great house right on the lake. Extremely well stocked with extra towels, blankets, and pillows. Comfortable queen bed downstairs. The staircase was small but we were able to get used to it quickly. Large closets with hangers. The location was just a short drive from Manistee, Frankfort and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We would definitely stay here again!

Great space, shallow waters with plenty of paddle boats and a kayak to enjoy it. Lovely kitchen/living area and the large 1 bedroom was actually fine for our family of four
