The backyard with the river view is beautiful and peaceful! The house had plenty of room and beds for our group of 3 families. Loved that there were 10 kayaks to use. Kitchen was fully stocked. Perfect location to enjoy esch beach, the dunes, and empire bluffs hike. We loved our stay!

We loved it so much this was our second year in a row. This house is perfect for our combined 4 family vacation and are already looking into next year. The location is perfect for keeping busy in town or venturing out to dunes, bluffs and beaches. The house is perfect for cozy campfire relaxing or canoeing up the river located directly in the backyard.

Our group of 8 (including 2 sets of grand parents and 2 young kids) had a wonderful stay in Libby’s home. We used the kayaks, built fires in the fire pit and enjoyed meals on the deck. We had plenty of space to relax. The location is great - close to beaches and other towns to explore. We hope to stay again!

We spent three nights here for your annual extended family vacation. The house is very spacious, and fit 8 adults and 5 kids with room to spare. We had fun swimming and Kayaking in the Platte River. The Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes are a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

My family needed a place to stay while we were skiing at Crystal Mountain. Great space and beautiful setting. We were able to find quite a few things to do in the area. The house needs some repairs but met our needs while there.
