The place was well-appointed, quiet and clean. We very much enjoyed our stay there and were sad to leave. Host was very responsive to my questions. Neighborhood was quiet, friendly and well maintained. Walking distance to the lake was convenient and scenic. And the beach was pristine and beautiful.

It was very clean inside but it is definitely an older cottage that had additions added. You need to have some muscles to open back screen door and siding glass doors as they are older and stick. Kitchen is great and everything is there to bbq or cook in. Lake MICHIGAN is only a 15 minute walk.

An awesome location during our workshop.

Location is great as far as lake access and proximity to local sites. It was great to walk to the park and trails and the neighborhood is quiet. Upkeep of property, specifically outside, is seriously lacking. Being under a tree canopy keeps the house cool, but also keeps it from being dried out by the sun which means moisture. Grass wasn’t cut, bushes, plants, and weeds were all overgrown. Algae and tree debris on house, doors, and all walkways. Inside was kept up more than outside, but still some issues. Air purifiers in every room were a good indication. No “front” door access to the house, sliding doors were difficult to operate. There was no internet until the last night of our stay, which was disappointing for the teens as the weather was cold and rainy. When I contacted the number provided for house issues, I was told I could contact the internet provider myself and try to resolve the problem which I didn’t think was an appropriate response to a paying guest. The towels and sheets were nice quality and all clean, but only one bed was comfortable enough for a restful sleep. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils but we did find evidence of previous rodent activity, though it didn’t seem to be current. Overall, I feel a bit catfished by the listing and would not rent again.
