Great Family Trip

This was our 3rd time staying at the Dempsey’s beautiful home for a short family vacation. The house and its setting right on Lake MI are beautiful; gorgeous sunsets, great beach walks, fun playing cards and listening to the waves just outside. You won’t be disappointed if you’re lucky enough to book a stay.

Bliss in Harbor Springs

A truly wonderful getaway! There’s never a bad season in Michigan, but this spot especially is magic. We came and stayed four years ago and our kids kept talking about it so we came back. Worth the drive and fun to bring my parents this time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Amazing Beach House

We are a group of retired professional women who have been friends for over 40 years and gather yearly. This year was the best place we have ever rented. The Sturgeon Bay Beach is the gorgeous, water was wonderful. The house was stunning and accommodating for all. One of the best places to be in northern Michigan.

Autumn colors and wine

We love staying at this place on Lake Michigan. It’s beautiful with a wonderful view. Tom Dempsey is an outstanding host and makes his home on the lake feel like it is your own retreat from the day-to-day chaos. This was made even better by being in northern Michigan at peak fall colors and enjoying a nice glass of wine on a sunny deck by the beach. Can’t wait to do it again.

Fall at the Beach House

Overall, the property is well-located and maintained. There were some minor issues using some amenities but nothing that dampened the overall experience of our stay. The check-in documents and other information were well-prepared and helpful for anyone staying at the house, covering a wide range of activities. The beach access, something we wanted, was ideal for our purposes.
