Autumn stay on beach
I took my mom for a birthday celebration stay on the beach, and we loved it. The view is amazing, the decor was beautiful, very comfortable and homey. The communication with the host was easy and friendly. They were very informative and took care of our needs while we stayed there. We will definitely keep this on our list of destinations.

Dunes summer vacation
AMAZING. If you love the beach and want to be near the dunes this house is wonderful. You can’t beat the view! It was very cute, nicely remodeled and clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom was nicely remodeled also with a big shower. It was hot when we were there, I was worried it would be sticky without A/C but with the windows open and the fans it very comfortable. The bed was so comfortable! The beach is just a short walk and is our favorite beach in the area. You do have to accommodate a fairly steep hill to the beach. There are side ropes and a beach mat on the path to assist you but for someone that has health issues it may be difficult. We had no problem and our grandchildren easily maneuvered it as well all while carrying chairs and beach toys. You can hear the vehicles on the dunes but for us that wasn’t a problem at all. The deck was nice with a great view. We especially enjoyed the fire pit. Great campfires with the sound of waves crashing on the rocks - very therapeutic. We will definitely be coming back to this house!

Beautiful views of the property. The house wasn't as clean as I would have expected and there were small gnats flying all over the kitchen.

Great Cabin directly on Lake Michigan
We loved this wonderful cabin directly on the shore of Lake Michigan. You cannot beat the sunset views! Used the fireplace for S’mores every night, kids loved the place. Close to neighborhood beach. A real gem.

Spectacular view and charming cottage
My mom and I rented Juniper House for a short getaway, 4 days and three nights. Juniper House did not disappoint! The view was spectacular and the sunsets were gorgeous!!! The cottage was charming and updated as shown in the pictures. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing Getaway
This lake house has the most beautiful view of Lake Michigan! It is close to the dunes and Craig’s Cruisers. The girls ages 11-12 enjoyed the beach walking distance from the house. The house was very clean. There was a few more spiders than we are used too lol but other than that it was a perfect stay! We enjoyed s’mores over a campfire looking out onto to the lake. The kitchen had all the cooking utensils as well! The girls asked if we can come back every year!
