Summary: Great house for four adults and one dog. Super clean, easy access, kitchen updated with great appliances, including dishwasher. Kitchen well stocked, minimal spices, etc. Comfortable queen beds- Jack n’ Jill bathroom with only tub/shower being shared space. Comfortable living spaces with porch looking into nice wooded area where deer where seen. Two window air conditioners maintained the house comfortably in 90 degree weather. Lake Michigan only 5-10 minute walk - typical Michigan trail with tree roots occasionally over the dune to set of 70ish steps with rest landing built in. Beach equipment provided was in great condition- 4 backpack chairs, umbrella, and beach towels. Close neighbors were all friendly. This is a gem for small groups.
