Great Lakes Escape Surreal Lakeview Getaway Private Beach Access Hot Tub The online photos give the impression of a much newer and up-to-date home then what it actually is. The location is fantastic and so was the view. We enjoyed the deck and the bonfire very much. However, it took us about 3 1/2 hours of heavy cleaning to get it ready for the rest of our family. There were cobwebs and spiders throughout and a very musty smell throughout as well, especially in the basement. Major dust under the beds. Also, the home is listed as no pets yet we found dog hair on some of the blankets and there are doggy cover pads on the sofa. It's a beautiful property that just needs and deserves a lot more TLC.

Beautiful view, well equipped, spacious...

Plenty of room for everyone.

Overall, we had a very good experience. The house has many pluses, but the best part of the house is the fantastic view of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed many nights sitting on the deck with the beautiful views of the lake and sunset, and the children really enjoyed the hottub. The private beach is also very beautiful and very secluded, however, it is a more difficult walk to the beach than we expected. There are two paths, and one of them is a very steep staircase with 122 steps, and the other a very steep walkway. My parents are in their seventies and did have difficulty navigating both ways. Just be aware that this may make this house not a great choice if you aren't able to do a lot of exercise.The house was very clean, but one downside was the smell of mildew, which was especially bad in one of the front bedrooms. We also went during one of the hottest weeks for Michigan and the air was not working well. When we reported this, they responded very quickly and sent someone to put in a portable air conditioner, which definitely helped. The house was very spacious with plenty of places to sleep, but the bathrooms with exception of one have no counter space, and adding some hooks for hanging items would be helpful. There are many things for kids to do in the house, including multiple video games and toys. The house is also only about ten minutes from South Haven, and only 20-30 minutes to get to Saugatuck and Holland. There were a few downsides, but overall, we really enjoyed!
