Plenty of room , nice and quite

This house was worth the 2025 price but not the 2026 increase. It was not clean, had mice, and we had to mow the back yard ourselves when we got there.

My family and I stayed here for 4 days and overall we all had a great time! There are a few things I do want to point out in hopes the owner will make some updates going forward. The property was nice overall, including the inside. However, the exterior needs some serious TLC. The exterior decks are really worn out, tree debris was everywhere we had to sweep a lot up. The outdoor table and seats were all dirty and the grass area looked like it hasn’t been cut in years. The screened in deck area off the Master King Bedroom was all dirty and was more of a storage area that you couldn’t use. Would have been nice to use this space. One of the bedrooms upstairs did have acorn shells left in the sheets but the bed was made professionally. Weird. It says that the exterior cameras aren’t pointing in any of the social areas but we noticed one camera on the deck pointing at the outdoor table and hot tub area. The hot tub lid when open might cover some of the camera view but still was not expecting one to be pointing in that direction. Hot tub is pretty old and we didn’t use it much because of this. The outdoor fire pit area could be nicer as well. There were two bikes in the garage that we were hoping to use but both tires were flat and useless. One another thing to mentioned on the inside, the basement does have a separate bedroom which we weren’t expecting and was a nice feature. It is a beautiful house and area just wish the owner took better care of the exterior.

We have stayed at this property consistently since 2019. First the good things: the location is wonderful. Its just a short walk to Lake Michigan or you can kayak down the stream to a public beach. The home is spacious and has room for plenty of guests. Sadly, it has been falling into disrepair. Every year we arrive to find the same things broken and new things falling apart. This year, the grass was knee-high and looked like it hadn't been mowed all season. There was poison ivy in many places, but especially thick on the edges of the property. Last year, our adults gave up using the hot tub because it is consistently green and slimy. This year was no exception, except now the hot tub cover is completely broken and falling apart. There are two refrigerators at this property, which is crucial for larger groups like ours. However, only one of them worked this year. When we called to ask about getting it repaired, the person who answered the property manager number told us she was “just the housekeeper.” It seems like she may have requested the repair, but the property owner doesn't care to keep the place up. During a particularly heavy rain, water came pouring in through the ceiling onto one of the beds. The list could go on, but you get the point. It's sad because it could be such a great property. We have many wonderful memories here, but we will be looking elsewhere next year.

It’s great for are large group , but could use some up keep , the deck is need of some refreshing along with the hot tub
