The best place for a big family!

The accommodations were even more spacious and beautiful than the pictures! The huge multi-purpose/game room was the perfect place for our kids to hang-out and play; the pool was lovely; the beach was uncrowded with soft sand and beautiful, clean Lake MI water; I could go on and on! Just wonderful!!!

Perfect extended family vacation spot

This is the first rental property that I have not been disappointed in when walking through the door. It is just as the pictures portrayed. The pool, hot tub and fire pit were fabulous. The setting was beautiful and the private beach was gorgeous. Our family loved every aspect of this property.

Perfect for a family

The beach barn is a perfect place for a big group. The house is immaculate and the location is in the middle of what seems to be a forest while only a short walk to Lake Michigan and nearly perfect beaches. Pam was very responsive to our questions and our family enjoyed our time so much.

Beautiful home in idyllic setting. Access to semi-private beach is an easy walk, some steps but our three year old had no trouble with it. Spotlessly clean and well supplied kitchen.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Spent a week with my children and grandchildren (2 and 3 years old). Loved every minute of our vacation in this well-supplied, immaculate and beautiful home. Walk to the beach was up and over the sand dune and we went every morning and rarely saw anyone else. Heated pool was great for afternoon swims. Rec room was great for kids to run and tumble. Hope to visit again next year!

50th Wedding Anniversary Reunion

Perfect place for our 9 day family reunion of 11. The Beach Barn was clean and great kitchen with everything you need. The game room was a big hit with the teens as was the pool and lake. The home exceeded our expectations and Pam was quick to respond to our inquiries. We highly recommend Lake House Foods and chef Molly who prepared an amazing meal for us including serving and clean up. A Bit of Swiss in Stevensville made an outstanding mini wedding carrot cake. Best Vrbo experience ever.

Great Family Week

Our family (7 adults and 6 children age 1-13) likes to get together every summer. The house was perfect for everyone--space for fun in groups large or small. The upstairs family/game room was very popular with the children. We had great weather but this room is especially good for a rainy day. Everything worked and the kitchen has lots of room for people to participate.

Memorable Stay

We just returned home and reality after a wonderful week at the Beach Barn. We are a family of 6 adults and 4 grandchildren. The home is very comfortable and the owner very responsive from beginning to end of the process. The home is well appointed. The pool, bunk room, and rec room being just a few of the highlights of the Beach Barn. The beach is fantastic. We can recommend with out hesitation and hope to return in the future.
