Things to know

Please be aware that this home lies in a flood area and occasionally has standing water in the yard after heavy rainfall. The owners raised the waterfront portion of the yard and installed a dirt driveway in 2019 to make your stay more enjoyable, but rising water levels and storms that drop several inches of water at a time still leave large puddles in the roadside yard.
Onekama Township recently created a Short Term Rental Ordinance; please respect this Ordinance so this home can continue to help your family make vacation memories.
This property is managed by Vacasa Michigan LLC.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Summary: The property and area was great. We were able to dock our boat and also fish off the docks. The house however was not at all clean. The window screens were full of bugs. The ceiling fans were so covered in dust we would not have used them even if they worked. Which they did not. The water smells so horrible we did not shower all weekend and had to buy water for cooking and drinking. The fridge was full of crumbs and dirt as well as the cupboards. The bathroom was not clean either. There was dirt on top of the sink and toilet. Some of the furniture is also broken and needs replaced. Probably will not stay there again. We also sent pictures to Vacasa at there request, but received no solution. If you do stay here plan on cleaning when you get there and take your own water.

Summary: Loved the location. Beautiful lakefront, some walking paths close by, close to lake michigan and friendly neighbors. It was a warm week and we needed every fan we brought. The bathroom could have been cleaner and toilet needed fixed regularly by us as it was not working properly. Deck needs to be checked for wasps. Property management company was not responsive to our issues and questions. Overall, house was as advertised and we had a fun week with family.

Summary: Quiet hours posted within the house say 11pm You sent me two different emails, one saying 9pm another saying 10pm. Need to have a consistent time listed for this property. Thanks

Summary: Really enjoyed the lake front property views and fire pit. This house comfortably slept 4 guys in a golf trip. Great amenities and super helpful neighbors. We had some issues with the plumbing but other then that I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.

michelle L. Aug 21, 2022 11:00:51 AM

Summary: Excellent location. House was very clean when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay there. Everything we needed was provided. Having the private dock was wonderful. I would come back and highly recommend. The only thing I would change would be a new toilet in the bathroom.

Adam C. Jun 28, 2022 11:01:02 AM

Summary: We loved the location on the lake, but that was about it. There were notes on the shower and toilet about high water so limit the use of water. You felt like you were rushing to shower and once every made it through the shower you realized there was a leak in the corner of the shower. There were not sheets for the Murphy bed. Ran out of propane gas before the burgers were even done cooking. Trying to figure out what control went for what fan and getting windows open to get a breeze through the house was a struggle with it being an old house. The lighting within the place is not great so trying to play games at night or just sitting to eat dinner felt like you were in the dark most of the time. Overall the house was underwhelming.

Mary G. Jun 4, 2022 09:07:46 PM

Summary: Very well equipped vacation rental. Everything you could need is there. However the Wi-Fi name on the app is incorrect. Thankfully the Wi-Fi was written on the back of the modem.
