The view is definitely beautiful to enjoy during a relaxing vacation. I appreciated the 80s-contemporary style and sort of wished it had been cool enough to use the gorgeous wood stove. It was secluded and quiet at the condo while being a few minutes drive from Glen Arbor and various trails and beaches. However, for the price of the rental, some improvements could be made. The patio has an extraordinary view, but the only patio furniture is basic - and fairly uncomfortable - plastic chairs and there was no lamp to lengthen evening time on the porch. Multiple window mechanisms did not work to open and close the windows (key since there is no ac) and the dishwasher barely cleaned the dishes. One lamp had no switch so to turn it on and off you had to plug/unplug it from the wall. Overall, this is a restful retreat from which to enjoy the spectacular sunsets on Lake Michigan that is a little quirky but still enjoyable!

This unit did have a very nice view of Lake Michigan from atop a steep and high hill. It was surrounded by trees, located nearly at their tops. The location of the unit was not easily accessible to any entry to the lake. We had to drive several miles to the public access near the closest town.Checking in, we could not locate the parking passes that were required for parking. A host/worker brought us 2 passes the next day.Two of the windows were cranked open when we arrived, and we could not crank them closed. The cranking handles were stuck.Also, the water pressure for the showers was quite low.Sadly, we abandoned our unit a day early because the area was experiencing a heat wave, and the unit did NOT have air conditioning. This was, to be honest, clearly stated in the property description. We disregarded it because we thought we were tough! It was too hot to sleep, and when smoke from the wildfires in Canada started drifting in and everyone was advised to stay in air conditioned spaces for health reasons, well...In all, the unit was very small which was perfect for 2 people. The kitchen things all worked. It was nice and clean and tidy. Again, the view was gorgeous.
