This was our second year staying here. The location is perfect for us. We love the beach for the dog and night time bonfires. In general the neighbors are quiet depending on what visitors they may have. Any issues were quickly resolved.

Amazing view and private beach

The house is very spacious and it's located right on the lake with it's own private beach. The property is located in a quiet area off the main road but still close enought to Traverse City. Carole was very quick to respond whenever we needed to reach out.

A Beautiful Spot

This is a cozy house with beautiful beach access on a lovely stretch of sand. House is well-appointed and somewhat remodeled, somewhat rustic, and dog friendly which was very important to us. It was perfect for our friends' weekend. Our host was always available for questions and checked in to make sure we were happy.

Beach house with amazing views

This property exceeded all our expectations. From the well appointed house with everything we could need, to the amazing views of east bay, and the beautiful beach. We capped off each night with s'mores by the campfire on the beach while we watched the sunset and then viewed the stars. To top it all off the owners were excellent to work with and accommodated all our requests. We'll definitely be back!

Relaxing beach home

What a great relaxing home to stay at on the bay. We had seven of us including three teenagers and we had plenty of space. The views from inside the home are amazing and even better on the deck and beach. It was nice having AC on the hot days we were there. The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. We will certainly try to make it back to this home next summer.

Amazing

If you are looking for a secluded quiet getaway with an amazing private beach and gorgeous views, this is the place to stay. The house is clean with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. Full baths upstairs and downstairs and a half bath also upstairs. It also has a charcoal grill and fire pit on the beach. My husband's favorite part was the grill and fire pit. Thank you Carole for an amazing stay!!

Holiday family reunion

My sisters and their spouses joined me and my spouse for 4 nights at the beach house. The weather was cold, windy rain and snow but it didn’t matter as we were in the perfect place - beautiful views of the lake from all rooms, a nice fireplace kept us warm and cozy, a well stocked kitchen allowed us to enjoy several home cooked meals. Carol, our hostess was welcoming and easy to access, always got back quickly when any concerns were raised. Our only gripe was dishwasher really wasn’t working and should be replaced. All in all though we would highly recommend this property to anyone and we look forward to checking it out in a different season.
