We spend lots of time on the large screened porch playing games, reading, talking, bird-watching. We play tennis, go to the beach, and grill out or go to dinner at nearby restaurants like Capozios, Redamaks (famous for the hamburgers in nearby New Buffalo). You can even surf in lake MI when the wind is right (usually from late Aug.- Dec.)

Notes: We are happy to answer additional questions via email. The square footage is an estimate and includes the main house and cottage. We can also provide additional pictures via email of other interior rooms, etc. We would prefer no pets since some family members have allergies; however, we would consider allowing a mature family dog that is kept primarily on the screened back porch.

What to Expect: Our family, friends, and others have been enjoying this vacation property for more than 20 years. If you need luxury, on the beach, and touristy this place is not for you. If you and your family are looking for a beautiful and relaxing place with great beaches and lots of activities nearby then you should consider this place. Ideal for 1-2 families, or 3-4 couples. Responsible, mature, and respectful only. We have been reluctant to rent our place until recently, but after having good experiences donating weekly rentals to our church auction and seeing how well people took care of it and how much they enjoyed the experience we decided to rent out when we aren't there 2 weeks each month. Please only consider renting this if you will treat our place as if it is your own.

Guest Book: From: 'pack193' Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 17:57:32 -0400 The Lake House in Michigan is amazing. Generally after vacations I get home and need to rest for several days. It is like recharging batteries. However it was the opposite after returning home in late June. The vacation was actually relaxing and my internal batteries were fully charged. I read my book while my son was enchanted by the fire in the pit. Great conversation could always be found on the screened back porch, however privacy was a few steps away if desired. Watching the hummingbirds zoom around was actually the most energy I needed to expel. We all had a wonderful time and can't wait to return.
