Our family had the most wonderful stay at this awesome Lake Michigan home. It was the perfect setting for a vacation with our three generations together.The spacious, open kitchen and family room quickly became the heart of our time there. We shared meals, played games, laughed, and made memories that we'll cherish forever. The sun porch was another favorite spot—a peaceful place to relax with a cup of coffee, enjoy conversations, and listen to the soothing sounds of the lake.Every bedroom was comfortable and worked perfectly for our family's needs, making it easy for everyone to feel at home. The location truly couldn't have been better. Being right on Lake Michigan was incredible, and having the town just an easy walk away made it so convenient. One of the unexpected highlights of our stay was meeting Marty on the beach. She generously shared the fascinating history of the house, how it has evolved over the years, and the stories woven into its walls. Learning about the area's history—and especially the remarkable women of the family who forged new paths with their strength, intelligence, and determination—made our stay even more meaningful. Knowing of all of the steps involved in both getting to the house and getting to the beach was helpful to know before arriving. We couldn't have asked for a better place to gather as a family!

Ten of us fit perfectly. The inside of the house is very nice and has been updated. Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen. Very roomy, great location on the beach. The outside of the house and grounds could use some maintenance. Plenty of beach towels and beach chairs are provided. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location and wonderful porch and deck spaces on the lakefront.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Fantastic home and the beach was perfection. Only gripe I have is one of the neighbors obviously had an issue with the house being rented out. Despite us staying off of their property (aside from my 6yo boys playing near the water in front of their property one morning) the neighbors made a point to put signs and ropes for people to stay off of the beach in front of the home while we were outside watching them. This made the last couple of days uncomfortable and stressful as we were constantly worried about the kids walking onto their beach. Perhaps the home should be advertised for groups without kids. If you have kids, especially younger ones, you know asking them to stay on a sliver of sandy beach is next to impossible. The home was just as expected and we had an excellent time despite this. Thank you to the hosts for allowing us to use their home. We love Douglas and cannot wait to return. Will likely be renting a different home next time however.
