Family Reunion Great spot for our whole family. Plenty of space for our entire family which included 4 children under age 2.Was great to be able to wade in the outlet up to Lake Michigan… only about 50 yards.Sunsets and beach were picture perfect.

The house was great. Lots of room. Lots of beach stuff in the garage. There were canoes and kayaks that we used to get our beach stuff to Lake Michigan. We just pushed the loaded canoe down the inlet, about thigh high water. There is a small dam just before the lake that we had to portage around and it was difficult if there were other boats from Bass Lake anchored there. There were lots of games and puzzles. We stayed with our entire family which included 3 kiddos under 5. The stairs to the upper level do not have a railing so they are open to floor below which was a little nerve racking at times. There is not an actual view of the beach as there are two large houses between this house and the beach. Overall nice place to stay.

Great location and the host is very responsive. Maps don’t do justice to how close you are to Lake Michigan. Great for kids and families. Host has anything you need for the beach.

Lake Michigan It was a lovely house with great amenities. The owner, Rick, was very accommodating and couldn’t be nicer. He told me “you don’t need to bring anything” and he was right! The house had everything necessary for a week at Lake Michigan. The only drawback for me was that it was a bit of a trek through the inlet to get to the beach. The listing was clear about this, but I’m 76 and it was a bit much for me. This is a great place for younger adults and kids - they have bikes, kayaks, a canoe, tons of games, etc. We had a great week and would recommend this house.

Amazing Beach Home with Everything!! 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!

Family beach weekend 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.
