This home is designed for rest and relaxation. Outfitted with classics, from the kitchen equipment to the games, puzzles, books and toys, your family will find plenty of restful and fun activities after your days spent exploring the best the lakeshore has to offer.

Guests are greeted with fresh flowers (summer & fall) and blueberry muffins, fresh Michigan fruit in season and fully stocked coffee/tea bar. Relax on the reclining ottoman, comfy couch, sectional or love seat or rock a little one on the farmhouse rocker.
