A lot of good ammenities, but the property is odd. If there are other people renting the other house they're essentially hanging out in your front yard.

I love this house, love this lake, love this area. Out of all the vacations, these are the most peaceful and relaxing. This was my second time here and it was even better. Swimming, kayaking, fishing, hikes at the dunes or lake Michigan, old towns to visit, fires and ice cream at night. It's the best! Dan the property owner is responsive and cares about making this a great trip for guests. My boys really enjoy it here.

House was not fully clean at time of checkin despite high cleaning fee.
All the rest was ok.
