About this house rental
Magnificent old family home, with a second smaller home attached in a four acre compound we call Feirin De which is Gaelic for “God’s Gift”. The homes are located on a partly secluded bluff overlooking Lake Michigan with views of spectacular sunsets and white caps on windy days. The main home has an expansive deck perfect for watching the children and grandchildren (and parents and grandparents) in the 20x40 pool a few steps below that is completely fenced in for safety. The main home has five bedrooms, three full and two half baths, and sleeps 12 comfortably. The little or “Granny” house has one bedroom with a queen sized bed, two full baths, a sleeping porch with five twin beds and a downstairs bedroom that also has a queen bed. There is also a small kitchen and an extra dishwasher.
In the main home there is a large living room with a fireplace and dining room that can seat 20. The main home has two screened in porches, one small one off the kitchen and a large one off the living room and deck which, incidentally has a large table and a pergola at one end for delightful meals in the sun or late afternoon shade.
Both homes have washers and dryers and there is an outdoor shower to clean up after an afternoon at the beach. The beach is located 1.5 miles to the north. There is no beach below the bluff at Feirin De but we have a fire pit setup on the bluff for evening s'mores and to watch the sunsets.
This is an idyllic place for an extended family or two small ones to have a peaceful and relaxing vacation.

This was the 2nd time we've stayed at Feirin De & we were even more delighted with the property then we were the 1st time we stayed 2 years ago. Updates to the 2nd house were a more than pleasant surprise & allowed our group of 19 to spread out. The pool was used daily & we watched sunsets from the bluff every night. We can't wait to come back. The only thing we would add would be a clothesline for our wet suits & towels instead of hanging them over the fence around the pool. Added bonus, there were 3 mornings when deer were in the yard.

This is our fourth year to stay in this house. We love the location, the pool, and, of course, our view of Lake Michigan. The house itself is roomy and comfortable. The Granny House is a "bonus" for our large family. Feirin de is a special place and we look forward to spending a week next year in this very "Irish" home!

This home was perfect for the girls from the class of 1974. Plenty of room for all and the pool wascso much fun. We would consider stayingbhere again.

Ideal, beautiful location, but the main house needs a really thorough cleaning and doors that lock. Lake Michigan views and beautiful sunsets from the patio. Short drive to great beachesThe main house is old with quirks. We appreciate that, but with some work, it could be so much better. It needs a good thorough cleaning. Many dirty areas including windows and screens, under beds, behind furniture, a gross pillow, floors, and more. Main house smelled musty with unpleasant odors. The same was true of some of the furniture. Several pieces (especially padded dining room chairs and living room chairs) need updating for cleanliness and comfort. Hard to find enough comfortable seats for everyone. Multiple spiders were found in many rooms. This could be reflective of an old house, but cleaning would likely help. The first night, we were surprised to find that most exterior doors do not lock securely. Although it's a quiet area and seems safe, no house should be rented without this being addressed ahead of time. Also a safety concern was a kitchen cabinet with several bottles of alcohol at children's level.We had a good time, but we never felt truly relaxed primarily due to the cleanliness factor. Granny house much more updated and clean. It was a welcome contrast.Excellent supply of bathroom and kitchen soap, trash bags, etc. Many sand toys and pool tubes. These were super helpful. Owner was responsive and communicated well.With more effort, this rental could be amazing!
