Seven sisters gathered once again to celebrate each other. This place was absolutely spectacular. We loved the indoor space and were wowed by the beauty of the beach. We are grateful to have the ability to enjoy each other's company surrounded by such natural beauty.

Great Place to Unplug
Host was very prompt with responding. The morning sunrises by the lake shore were beautiful and the peacefulness was greatly appreciated. This is a fantastic place to get away from busy schedules and unwind. We would definitely return in the future.

Peaceful Retreat
What a wonderful property! The property is right on the beach and very secluded. We watched the beautiful sunrises every morning. Everything you need is here. We love the area and enjoyed the near by day trips to Pictured Rocks, Mackinac Island and Kitch-iti-kipi. We would definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful Beach
Before I arrived, Joni answered all of my questions within minutes. All of the appliances and outdoor grill are new and high quality. The beach is beautiful and easy to play in or just walk. The house is very secluded. The internet is fast! Television has lots of options. It is everything we expected!

Truly a Gem on Lake Michigan
This beautiful home has so much to offer. Incredible expansive sandy beach, quiet wooded property with lovely landscaping, beautiful sunrises, kayaking, and is loaded with amenities, We enjoyed bonfires every night while watching the sunset over Lake Michigan, witnessed a bald eagle soar over the beach, saw a spectacular full double rainbow over the lake after a rainstorm, and countless deer in the area. The property is so beautiful, I was able to capture so many wonderful senior pictures for my HS senior. The home was clean, kitchen fully stocked, and all bathroom / laundry / kitchen essentials were provided. The host was very courteous and responded quickly to messages. I can't wait to return to this gem!
