Family Visit To Explore W. Michigan!

The Shack was a wonderful place for me and my children to stay as a homebase for a visit to explore Western Michigan. Each day we would journey out to nearby cities, beaches, excursions & we’re thrilled to return to the wooded, shaded, well appointed “cabin”. It is immaculately clean has everything you may need, extra blankets and pillows, laundry, a well appointed kitchen, and a yard and fire pit to die for. Absolutely gorgeous! We would return without hesitation! Thank you for sharing your property.

GREAT VALUE

Small clean house in great location. Perfect for Tippy Dam, Casino, and Traks Bar/Restaurant. Fully updated and reasonable price. Grill could be better is about only thing I would recommend. Thanks Kristie!

Met our needs perfectly

The Shack perfectly met our needs. We were looking for a quiet getaway that was reasonably close to Lake Michigan beaches. The spacious kitchen and outdoor gas grill worked well since we made most of our dinners at the house. The backyard was a peaceful place to have a bonfire. We made day trips to Manistee, Empire, and Glen Arbor all were nice locations with nice beaches, coffee shops and a bit of shopping.

One of the best

This is our second stay at the shack. It was still very clean and had everything we needed. It is remarkable how cool it stays for having no air conditioning! We had a small plumbing problem (could happen anywhere) and they had it fixed and all cleaned up before we got back from dinner! (does NOT happen anywhere!) Highly recommend. :)

Great Ski weekend

The Shack more than met our needs for a ski weekend. It was nicely stocked with pans, utensils, toiletries, linens and even had a crock pot. The only trouble we had was with the electronic door lock at check-in, but the host quickly resolved the issue and we didn't have any other problems for the rest of our stay.
