Beautiful house and location

As advertised. Had a wonderful time. House was locked when we arrived, but the agent responded quickly to our phone call and got us in. House is listed as having room for 10, but after we changed our reservation from 6/7 to 9, we were told that they try to to rent to less than that number, so perhaps capacity is slightly overstated, although there are beds for 10 and plenty of room. When we changed our reservation from 6/7 to 9, we had to pay an extra $500. But they would not have known about the change if we had not informed them ahead of time. Other minor complaints - house had only one extra garbage bag and only one dishwasher detergent pod, so we had to buy more of those. All in all a very good experience with minor glitches.

Great family vacation

This property was perfect for our beach week in northern Michigan with our adult children. The home was lovely, clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located to Sleeping Bear National Park, several wineries, shopping, golf, and hiking. We definitely hope to return next summer.

Lake MI Dream Location

Plenty of room throughout the home. Great feature with a sandy back yard leading down to the beach and Lake MI with hoses to rinse off before entering the home. Great beach walk in both directions. Great view on all three levels. Wonderful for sunsets, sunrises, and storm watching. Loved that there were vacuum cleaners on all 3 levels for quick clean ups. The hostess is totally awesome and was quick to respond to all my queries. Home was clean with supplies to tidy up before leaving. Plenty of chairs for around the firepit. Thanks for the package of fire starters to begin our week. We have already booked this for next year and plan on making this a yearly trip. Would love a 2 week back to back stay instead of 1 week! Thank you for sharing your home. Only suggestion is maybe have someone remove the bug carcasses from the windows.

Family Vacation

Family had a great time, property is 100% as described. Would absolutely stay again. House is very close to the beach, so no huge hill with 100 steps like most family sized homes on Lake Michigan.

Wonderful house right on the lake

We loved our stay! Perfect location on the water. Terrific house with plenty of room for our family vacation. Did not need the air conditioner as we left the windows open for the sound of the water and the nice breeze.

Amazing location and house

We have been staying at this house for years and we never want to stay anywhere else. Perfect location, with the lake right at your feet. There is so much space in the house and the basement has foosball, air hockey, and ping pont tables. Everything is clean and the host is easily accessible. Definitely our favorite family vacation home and we hope to continue to come here years and beyond.

Summer Memories made Up North

Another year at the “M22” House, as our Family calls it…and it was WONDERFUL! Our Family made lots of new Memories in this Beautiful Home on the Lake. Lots of time spent walking the Beach and looking at rocks, floating out in the Lake, and chatting/laughing by the Camp Fire every night. This property is a great “Host” when it comes to waterfront views/access and beautiful sunsets! We look forward to making more memories here in the future!!

Perfect location

We are a group of 9-10 women who spend a week up north every summer to kayak, paddle board and fellowship. This house was perfect! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything functioned well and was clean when we arrived. There were a few lights burned out and Tonie drove an hour to bring us light bulbs. Great service! We used the fire pit a couple of times and the beach was great. The view is spectacular! The location is about 4miles south of Leland and a great location for exploring the whole peninsula. If I had one negative I’d say the living room furniture is a little tired and worn and there’s no smart TV so don’t plan on using your Netflix or Prime account for a movie night. But there is a beautiful sunset every night to enjoy. We will be returning next summer for sure!

Beautiful Amazing and peaceful

Top to bottom great location! It's right between Sleeping bear dunes, Glen Arbor, Fishtown and Leland. Close to so many other wonderful locations and destinations for say trips It is always nice to stay on site as well, or enjoy the return home as much as the day trip. Watching the sun go down over pyramid point in the fall is truly a site to see. This was our third time staying in this home and we hope to return again in 2022. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Vacation!

We had a wonderful trip! Beautiful location, wonderful sunset view from the rocking chairs on the deck and the sounds of waves right out the window. The water was still and calm the first day and then lots of waves after a storm blew through. So fun to enjoy the lake in her different moods. You need to navigate a few stone steps down to the rocky shore, but no problem for our nimble school aged kids. We adults even joined in and loved the sandy, warmer water about 10yds off shore. Lots of petoskey stones! House was wonderful, everything we needed including dishwasher/w/d. Kids loved the air hockey and foosball tables and room to play. Beds were comfortable. Fantastic location close to TC, sleeping bear, Glen Arbor, Sutton’s Bay, Leland and all the wineries. A fantastic end to summer and all the kids are asking to go back!

Good Harbor Bay brings back many memories from years past.

Perfect layout for the kids; we never saw them. They spent the evenings in the lower level playing ping pong & table hockey which is where they slept; PERFECT! We were surprised there was no dishwasher.
