Excellent host and a great property. Home was exactly as described. I decided to do a spur of the moment dunes trip with my SXS and couldn’t have worked out better with the location of this property. The backyard is quite literally the dunes and you have an amazing view of Lake Michigan out front. ORV park entrance is 5 mins away. The entry road to the neighborhood is a bit narrow and steep at times but no issues with my F350 and 16 foot trailer. The driveway is easy to back into but I wouldn’t go more than a 18-20 foot trailer. Overall, for the price and location, I would recommend staying here.

We had a great stay at Rhele's Roost!The host was very friendly and response. The property is a short walk from an amazing beach. The cabin itself was well provisioned and clean - we lacked for nothing. The outdoor space was a dream. Large fire pit and plenty of space to hang out and let our toddler run around. Our family and I had an amazing stay there and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Erick, for being such a great host!

We had a Great vacation staying at the Rheles Roost cabin! It was a short walk to the beaches of Lake Michigan where we could point our chairs one way and be looking at the Gorgeous lake or turn them the opposite and watch all the fun on Silver Lake Sand dunes. We had a beautiful week! The cabin sleeps 5-6 comfortably and has everything you would need. We had about a 10 minute drive into Mears to check out the town. We took a tour with Mac Dune rides one day, a 20 min. drive into Pentwater to the Farmers market, shops and ice cream. We brought our boat and took another 20 min drive to Crystal Lake and did some fishing! Lots to do with in 20-30 minutes. is it part. Our host was friendly and easy to work with.

This property had a lot to offer. The tent was the best part. The family was disappointed that the peddle vehicle was out of commission and there was no air conditioning on the hot days. But all in all, it was a good stay.

Good Place

It a nice small house for a 3 day weekend. The backyard is basically the sand dunes as there a dirt/sand dune in the back yard to climb. You will hear the dune ORV cars when the ORV park is open. Not super loud but you will notice that if you use the fire pit or open the windows. Land owner was quick to respond and professional.
