We had 11 guests for a Bachelorette Party. The Boathouse was perfect for our group of people. The living room (upstairs) was great for relaxing, watching sports, and chit-chatting. The sunroom was a great space to enjoy our coffee, play games, and connect. We really enjoyed the outdoor space as well. If you have a large group of people, I highly recommend you consider the Boathouse as your getaway. Thank you Jessica & Wade!

Cool old building, not maintained as it once surely deserved to be. Great for large groups but apparently in the middle of a dispute with neighbors around access to the beach …a bit of a cloud over an otherwise fun time with the family.

Great place to relax with family. Close to everything, especially to the beaches of Lake Michigan.

My friends and I stayed here for a wedding and really enjoyed the property! The fire pit and views of the water were definitely the highlights. Plenty of space to sleep, and get ready with a group of nine people.
