My family stayed here for my grandson‘s Navy Boot Camp graduation. The house was absolutely perfect for our family of 12. Lots of space, very clean and well stocked with everything you need for cooking meals to bedding. It’s in a great location, and I had excellent commutation with the host on any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

The house is gorgeous, tons of old charm. We had a group of 12 (mostly adults) and we all fit comfortably with the amount of beds, bathrooms and table space. The view of lake Michigan was beautiful with the sunrise also. The house had pretty much everything we needed. There is minimal counter space in the kitchen, but prep cart and tables were helpful to mitigate that. We really enjoyed the fooseball table.We stayed for our son's Navy Graduation and the house is located close to base for easy travel to and from the Recruit Station.

House is creaky. Rooms are all spread out with more sitting rooms than sleeping rooms. House was well stocked. Biggest complaint all bedrooms were up 2 or 3 flights of steps. No AC and the entire house was hot. The bedrooms had tiny fans, but even at night the bedrooms were 86 degrees.
