A lovely little rental home right across the street from Lake Michigan. We loved the location of this little home. The road is quiet and nice for dog walking. At the end is a small craft boat launch where you can access the water if you like. The beds were incredibly comfortable!

Some friends and I stayed here for a girl’s weekend with our two dogs. This is one of the best stocked Airbnb’s in terms of extra linens, kitchen utensils, etc I have ever stayed at. It was very centrally located; 10 minutes to Sister’s Bay, 10 minutes to Peninsula State Park, 15 minutes to Egg Harbor, down the road from Bailey’s Harbor and the Cana Island Lighthouse. We absolutely loved the Airbnb, it rained one of the nights and we had a great time staying in and playing board games. Would definitely stay here again!

Yay, Christine! This made our day. We are so thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay. It was our pleasure to host you and your friends!
