A TOTALLY EXCELLENT GET AWAY!

LAKE MICHIGAN LISA BROOKFIELD,WI
Review Submitted: August 25, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Former N.Muskegon residents, moved (reluctantly) to WI..:) , rented property with my sister/family from Lansing and brought son in from San Diego.
Property is all it looks like in pictures, and then better even in person! :) Location=magnificent; Property/Amenities/Maintained=excellent; Owners/Communications=excellent & most enjoyable!
We would most certainly recommend this property to anyone and everyone! (Except for a 'selfish' side to it that wants to keep this a 'hidden gem') :) There are no words to sufficiently explain the beauty of Lake Michigan if you have not experienced such in person! Raw, powerful, exhilirating, humbling and soothing all at the same time.
Pretty much perfect! :)

panoramic views of Lake Michigan

theahanh Washington DC
Review Submitted: July 30, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This spacious, immaculately clean Lake Michigan beach house was the ideal venue for our large family's vacation. The numerous windows and decks overlooking the lake allow for constant encounters with the natural beauty of the property's dunes and sweeping grandeur of Lake Michigan. The house's four levels mean that those who sleep late will not be awoken by those who arise early. Large family meals are easily accommodated by the kitchen island, dining area table, and outside deck.

"The Castle" (or "The Magic Kingdom" as one of the neighbors referred to it) can accomodate both those who prefer to spend the day sitting quietly reading and those who want to charge down to the beach for a volleyball game or swim. Everyone seems to gravitate to a favorite spot to enjoy the sunset a day's end.

The local area is sleepy but charming. We enjoyed delicious sub sandwiches at the Cottage Cafe at Stoney Lake and the small Stoney Lake store was great for staples (not to mention ice cream.) The fishermen in our group gave high marks to Stoney Lake. The golfers were satisifed with the nearby links. Animal lovers took to the horseback riding at Rainbow Ranch and the Lewis Petting Farm and Market.

The only change we would make to the venue would be the addition of a railing on the stairs leading from the beach back up to the house. It feels potentially dangerous without one. Otherwise no complaints whatsoever!

We hope to return for another stay.

Highly Recommended

Review Submitted: July 1, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The views are stunning and the home is very comfortable and well-furnished. You can gather a large group together in one area, or there is enough space to spread out and give everyone privacy. It has every amenity you can think of. The only downside was there was no access to the Internet, which they had advertised on the website.
