My wife and I stayed for 3-nights to celebrate our anniversary. We hadn't been near this portion of the Lake Michigan coast before. We had the best time, this is a charming area with so many fun, relaxing and adventurous things to do. The property was clean and communication with the owner was seamless. We will be back!
