Perfect place for family vacation even if only to chill at the beautiful house all day, stay in jammies, enjoy the monarch butterflies, deer and bald eagles....and esp watch the unbeatable sunsets. Only gripe, which no one can really help: it's early 'gnat' season, end of summer/early fall in michigan, and they permeated all over the kitchen in huge swaths. Used the vacuum to get rid of them when we were making food/dinner, and left out fruity drinks to get them gathered and toss them out. But, what you gonna do? They ooze in through the tiny window screen grids. As long as you're not a freak about gnats flying around, and your mother in law who hates any and all bugs doesn't panic, you're golden. Everything else was beautiful and comfortable. Thank you Heidi and Wayne, it was perfect especially to introduce my Kansas BFF to her first time visiting michigan.

Amazing view! Loved the long porch with many chairs for everyone. The fire pit was furnished with many chairs also. The sunsets were amazing. Access to the beach was very close by. Because the house is situated on a high dune I wouldn’t have small children there. Perfect for adult gathering. House was comfortable and clean.

Beautiful view

Overall the property was nice and fit my family and friends for my wedding weekend perfectly. The best part of the property and a main reason I booked it was the amazing views of the water. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to and the owner was available to answer any questions. One thing to note and this could have just been my phone but I didn’t have service and had to be on wifi in order to have any type of service. No fault to the owner but just a thing worth noting for future guests so they aren’t surprised at the lack of service.

Amazing Stay

The view was spectacular. The house was updated and well maintained. The neighborhood was quiet. Deer liked to stroll in the backyard. Walking distance to White Pine Village. A quick drive to Buttersville Park beach which was not crowded at all. We enjoyed our week immensely.

A Slice of Heaven

Before I talk about the house and property, I commend the ease and promptness of communication with Heidi, the home owner. She was pleasant and helpful with all questions and communications. The home was clean and nicely decorated. The back wall of the home was all windows, giving you a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, no matter where you were on the first floor. The beds in all of the bedrooms were comfortable and lent to very restful sleep, especially if you opened a window and listened to the waves hitting the beach.the kitchen was well stocked with flatware and cookware. There was a nice sized fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs and there were Duraflame starters supplied to make starting a fire very easy. We enjoyed two evenings of fires with a beautiful view of the moon reflecting on the lake. We had visitors daily from a brood of deer that seemed to live nearby. The drive to Ludington was a short 10 minute drive. So, grocery stores, drugstores and restaurants as well as shops and galleries were nearby. All of those things lead to a fantastic vacation on the shore of Lake Michigan. We highly recommend this wonderful property and are grateful to Heidi for sharing her home with us. All of those things lead to a wonderful

beautiful getaway

we stayed for my mom's 70th birthday. It was a beautiful home with a beautiful view. The house was great. It was clean and well stocked with what is needed in the kitchen. There were goodies like local treats in the kitchen and soaps for the bathroom. The firepit was great. We spent a lot of time outside. We used the grill. The beds were comfy. The beach close by was lovely, and when we went we almost had it all to ourselves. It was off-season so it was challenging at times to find shops and restaurants. Hosts were very helpful in that regard. It was a great stay; sure we'll return.

Perfect family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay - our first visit to Lake Michigan and the sunsets around the fire pit were by far the highlight of the trip. The house is very well outfitted with everything we needed to be able to cook during our stay. The beds were very comfortable and my kids enjoyed the ping-pong table downstairs.
