Great property

We had the absolute best time with our group of 16 adults and 9 kids in this house. It was the perfect place for us. Every room has its own bathroom and the space was wonderful. Ted was a breeze to work with and we’ve already planned to come back in a few years and make it a tradition for our group. We loved walking to the nearby beach and going to the breweries close by. Can’t recommend this presorts enough!

Very good. Short on a couple of essentials like garbage bags and dishwasher detergent. We made do. Hosts are great

The house was perfectly appointed for our long weekend reunion. Tons of stuff to keep the kids entertained. We had plenty of space for our 25 person group and we will be back!

We visited for a Team Retreat, bringing a group together for team building, training, fun and relaxation. This property is absolutely gorgeous. Everyone had their own space and also the common areas are perfect for gathering. We utilized the amazing kitchen to it's fullest! I only wish we would have had more time to enjoy the firepit and hot tub. Great location, walking distance from the lake and close to small grocery for anything you need! The owners are very accommodating and took great care of us. They were even there to greet us at arrival and brought us dry wood and an extension cord when we were in need! A fantastic experience all the way around.

Great stay!

I rented this place for my sister’s bachelorette party and it was amazing! Outdoor space was incredible and so many bedrooms and bathrooms! Owners were very nice and communicative!

We have been here several times and will return time and time again! 5 stars!

We loved staying at this house. Having so many bedrooms and private bathrooms made it a comfortable stay for our large group. The dinning room and bar room made for great spaces to relax and hang out together. The location is great, close to many vineyards and restaurants in the surrounding area. We’d definitely stay here again.

Ten of us (6 adults, 4 teens) stayed for a weekend of post-Holiday celebration. We could not have been more pleased. The place was immaculate, and the décor and furnishings were top notch. All of the beds were very comfy and came with plenty of pillows and blankets. The kitchen, equipped for much larger groups than ours, had every gadget and gizmo we would ever need and then some, many in duplicate, and all in excellent shape. We had wonderful family chats around the fireplace in the smaller family room, and the larger family room, with two televisions, kept the sports heads very content. We even made significant use of the outdoor hot tub, in the middle of January. On check in, we were met by Ted, who walked us through a short tour of the premises and demonstrated the operating systems. I would like to tell you how responsive the owners were with addressing problems that arose during our stay, but we didn't have any problems. That said, they promptly answered our multiple pre-stay questions, so I have to believe that would be true during a stay as well. Always great to work directly with local owners that have such deserved pride in their house. As for the locale, we found plenty to do, even in the off season. Union Pier has a number of great restaurants, and long walks north or south of the house reveal all sorts of interesting and varied homes and old inns. Some of us even ventured down to the beach, despite the chill, and enjoyed the views. If you are wary of the proximity of the house to Red Arrow Highway and the railroad (I was, before our stay), don't be. The house is very well insulated from outside disturbances. Road noise was virtually non-existent, and while you could hear train horns generated by 4 to 5 passing trains per day, they were muted, and interrupted no one's sleep. We all agreed that we would keep Lake Michigan R & R on our list of places to hold our annual family gathering in the future.

I really cannot say enough positive things about this rental. You always see things online and wonder if it can be as good as pictured and this is! We had a group of 15 women for a girls' weekend and this house was perfect because of all the bedroom and bathroom space. The kitchen and fridges came in so handy and the added amenities and little touches of decor made it so homey. The hosts were amazing to work with and made the weekend stress-free. The girls keep talking about how they already want to come back! Thank you for everything!

I brought 24 family and friends to celebrate the life of my heavenly sister. This place was perfect. All the bedrooms, bathrooms the gigantic kitchen with every appliance imaginable. The fireplaces(4), the jacuzzi tubs (in several rooms), and outdoor hot tub made everything perfect We had a small hiccup, Robin the caretaker responded immediately. We will definitely be back.

My family - ranging in age from 4-71 - stayed at this beautiful house for a reunion week. There are 19 of us in all so finding a place with enough bedrooms is tricky. There were 3 bedrooms we didn’t even need! The kitchen was the best appointed we have ever rented. We’ve been gathering for over 30 years and this is by far the best place ever. Thanks to Tim for a wonderful property!

Our large group (18+ guests) has been spending a weekend together every Fall for the last 25 years. We have rented many large houses all up and down the Lake Michigan coast. The kitchen in this house was the best kitchen ever. Two refrigerators with ice makers and one with a wine cooler (big hit with the wine people). Two dishwashers. Large professional stove with two ovens and a large hood with lights and venting. Cabinets were filled with plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery, pots and pans, knives and a large drawer full of cooking utensils. There were two large sinks, one with a garbage disposal. The house was very clean when we moved in and everyone was very happy with the condition of the house. The back deck has a hot tub, swimming pool, excellent fire pit. The outside tables and chairs were deluxe. We can't recommend this place enough for a large group.

Lake Michigan R&R was a perfect location for our 49th Annual Pig Roast. We had a super time. The space was adequate for our various attendees. We would happily rent this place again.

We had a group of 10 employees who got together to enjoy a fall get away team trip and we had a blast! We had more than enough space and privacy with everyone able to have their own room and bathroom. The kitchen was amazing; 2 fridges, 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers, 2 outdoors grills, a double oven, crock pots, blenders, spices- really the total package to cook large meals and host a large group. We came during the off season and found the area to be cute and quiet and really enjoyed unwinding and escaping the hustle and bustle of the city life. Tim was an awesome host. He was very friendly and attentive, just a text away. We are already planning a visit next year and can't wait!

This was our second timing staying at this property. Tim and Ted have done a great job with the recently completed renovations. House looks great and they make the process easy.

What amazing hosts. Very responsive. Welcoming and brief meet and greet to ensure we understood all the amenities. Beautifully remodeled. Basically a bathroom for every room. Kitchen is amazing. Well maintained.

This was a beautiful property and our group really enjoyed all of the amenities! The owner was quick to address our questions and needs.

The space was awesome and super clean. Can't do better for large groups. I would stay again

We had a family reunion. It was a really great location and property and I highly recommend!

We have been renting large houses with my in-laws for over 15 years now. Most of the rentals have been in southern states but the drive is now becoming a strain on us (and my mother-in-law) as we age! Lake Michigan R&R was under 7 hours and was a nice change. On the plus side the host was easily accessible and very responsive and he even awaited our arrival at the house to meet us. Many nice extra touches including a welcome basket of s’mores ingredients, chips, popcorn etc with a personal Welcome card. The bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper and hand soap, the kitchen with paper towels, dish and dishwasher soap, spice rack with all kinds of spices. The kitchen was fully stocked with just about everything you would need. All dishes, cups, silverware, pots and pans, utensils were of the utmost quality. Provided towels/washcloths were nice and thick. We experienced a few issues with the hot tub and swimming pool and someone was on site in less than 30 minutes to resolve it. Tim was very responsive to my calls. The floor plan posted on VRBO is slightly different than what is on the Lake Michigan website and I didn’t find either to be totally accurate as far as types of beds in the rooms. The Master Suite has a king bed and bunk beds and is not open to the lower level. The 1st floor bathroom for that suite ends up being the common bathroom for everyone since it is closest to the back patio/pool and since there is no half bath. A minor thing given all of the positives. We did find some spiders/bugs mostly in the basement rooms but I do believe that is to be expected given the woods/trees all around. Plenty of outdoor seating to accommodate all of us. We loved the fact that there were areas of shade as well for those that didn’t want to be in the sun all day. The major grocery stores (Walmart, Krogers) were over 20 mins away but worth the trip to save on food costs. The lake/beach is a short walk from the house. There were other places we visited that were close by - golf, brewery, New Buffalo, Warren Dunes,etc. We even played some pickle ball on a court next to locals who were so friendly and helpful. Thank you Tim for a great week. The whole family enjoyed their stay.

None of us have ever stayed at a better property, Every detail was so great : welcoming MI snacks, Keurig cups for the entire stay, pool temperature set slightly higher for our senior members, kitchen absolutely awesome! The entire house was very clean and comfortable. I rate it 10 out of 10!

Ted and Tim were extraordinary to work with and accessibility was outstanding. Both the property and house are meticulously maintained. The house come equipped with everything you need and kitchen is top of the line. So many beautiful beaches and towns in the area, but the house and pool were so great we didn’t even want to leave! Truly a wonderful spot for a quick getaway! I could have stayed an entire month! THANK YOU for a memorable and relaxing long weekend.

We rent a different space every year for a couple of days of meetings and team bonding. This rental was my team's favorite, and they loved the convenience of having a bathroom for almost every bedroom. The property owner even opened the pool a couple of weeks early for us since the weather was warmer than expected for that week!

We enjoyed a weekend at this property and it fit our family so well. It was not only large and accommodating but also so beautiful!!! We were impressed by all of the amenities and loved sitting out on the patio. The beach was just a short walk away. We will definitely be back in future years! Well done Ted + Tim!

I stayed here with 12 friends and the house and property were excellently maintained. The host was incredibly responsive and the check-in process was effortless. Would stay again.
