"The house was in a nice location on the island to unwind and relax. At the end of the street was a market, cafe, and brewery, along with great views of Lake Michigan. The house was also a convenient walk to a couple of hiking trails. Our one night stay was excellent, we enjoyed the slow laid-back pace of the island. This was a good find and great price."

10/10 Excellent
"This property was exceptional. The views from the deck were amazing. The bedrooms were on various levels, and were private. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Everything was modern. The owners were good with communication. Note: This property might be challenging for someone who has difficulty climbing stairs. We did not have an issue. The property is around 20 min from town and is very secluded. It is a little slice of heaven. Highly recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean, well crafted condo/apartment with everything you need including a second story deck view of the harbor. Very personal service and a ‘we know ya already’ management style. Next door is a popular coffee and breakfast spot and the town grocer is two doors away. I would go back again and happily recommend to others."
"Great cabin! Waking up every morning with the lake view out from the window is the most perfect thing in the world! Tim and I loved sitting out on the porch and just taking in the scenery. The whole island has lots to see and lots to explore. We loved the hiking trails, protars cabin, the cute town, and the restaurants with it's delicious meals! And I genuinely loved using the VHS/VCR player in the cabin. I haven't used one of those in years! One night we were relaxing on the couch with the warmth of the fireplace, enjoying a hot cup of tea and watching 'grumpy old men. It was perfect! Thank you for letting us stay in your cabin for a few nights! "
