Summary: We had a great stay at this unique property. We loved the proximity to the beach and the quiet of the woods. Rick was a wonderful host and gave us great tips on local playgrounds, fish fry restaurants, and beaches. The house was well-stocked for a group.

Summary: This home had it all!! A wonderul host who communicated quite well and wonderful accommodations for the 8 of us. The kitchen was stocked with everything you can imagine, even a margarita machine! There were plenty of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and a giant floating mat for the lake. The canoe came in handy for hauling our beach stuff to the water. Rick, our All-Star Host, was so helpful in recommending places to eat, play or where to get our family photo on the beach. He even called back to make sure everything was going well at the house. We'll definitely be using this VRBO again!

Summary: We had a nice stay here with family and the house accommodated our group of 5 adults and 4 kids well enough. The access to Lake Michigan through the narrow waterway was fun and the shallows there were great for the young kids to splash around and play. The house itself is a bit treacherous for exploring toddlers, but we were able to block some areas off and make it work alright. The house is fully stocked with everything you might need. The host was very friendly and communicative. The location provided reasonably easy access to the Luddington area.

Summary: The house & location were top-notch, and Rick was an amazing, premier host. We were nine people and were very nicely accommodated. The host supplied pretty much every water equipment and toys anyone could want (non-motorized), and so many games & puzzles & movies for any housebound times. Excellent stay enjoyed by all!

Summary: Great location. Very well equipped with *everything* a family would need for a secluded vacation in Lake Michigan. Just bring your clothes and a toothbrush! Bass Lake access is a big bonus.

Summary: Everything is wonderful about this place. It's a large and beautiful and super-well appointed house in a great location. The host is friendly, very helpful and responds quickly. Plenty of things to do both at home and in the area. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Highly recommended!

Summary: Our family rented this property at the end of summer as a last minute getaway. The house was exactly as advertised. Enough activities inside and out to keep everyone busy the entire stay. The owner is a quick phone call or text away.

Summary: Exceptionally well equipped Lakehouse, with a quick easy traipse through the shallows to a beautiful white sand lake Michigan beach. All of the waves and none of the salt of the sea. It was possible to take a kayak in the other direction to Bass Lake (lots of fishing successes!) It was a short drive or longer walk down the beach to Pentwater where there was a selection of three ice cream parlors. (Love HOF!) There is everything at the house that you could possibly need for the beach from beach, chairs, umbrellas, floating islands, towels. Enough space to hide away from the people you were with. The elders enjoyed having balconies off of every room to hang out. The widow’s watch afforded a view of the beach, if you didn’t feel like walking down to see the sunset. The workout equipment helped justify the dietary indiscretions of vacation. Super easy set up for a campfire and s’mores. The kitchen has every appliance you can imagine from popcorn, poppers, crockpots, margarita- maker, toaster oven, perfect size for pizzas and two fridges so you don’t have to lug beverages upstairs. The gas grill got a work-out with our group, as did the washer-dryer. There were plenty of eat-out options but we cooked in for the most-part. We had a front row seat for a thunderstorm and Wi-Fi that allowed us to watch the women’s World Cup soccer and kept the preteen/teenagers happy. Mike was super-helpful with links to all the local attractions. Super!

Summary: This lovely lake house provided our family with a perfect lake vacation. The location (at the junction of Lake Michigan and Bass Lake) provided lots of water and beach access, and there were amenities galore--every type of chair, umbrella, float, toy, etc. you could want for playing in the water. Although we did not use them (because we had a baby with us), there were bikes, kayaks, canoes, exercise equipment, and a foosball table as well. The house was big enough that our party of 8 could spread out, but also had lovely spaces where we could come together and play cards and games, grill burgers and corn, make s'mores, watch sunsets, and relax. Rick was an excellent host and had anticipated all our needs. He gave us a great overview upon arrival and was readily available by phone or text both before and during our stay. The home was well stocked with basic pantry items as well as lots of kitchen amenities, bath and beach towels, a highchair and portacrib, etc. We had a lot of fun relaxing and playing in the waves of Lake Michigan and along the warm, shallow water that connects Lake Michigan to Bass Lake. Many wonderful memories were made in this beautiful home!
