We were very happy with our stay at Shore Thing. The home was spotless, very comfortable, kid friendly and nicely decorated. The fenced backyard was wonderful for our 3 year old grandson. It's a short walk to a beautiful beach and weekend farmer's market. We especially appreciated the wagon, beach toys and games that were available. A very small criticism would be that the kitchen could use some updated pots and pans if you plan on cooking a lot. Tonya is great to deal with and I would definitely recommended this property. It is exactly as described on it's website.

Wow! Talk about a fabulous vacation home. I can’t wait to continue a family tradition at this pristine lake house. The house is gorgeous, decorated to the nines, spotless, perfect for children. The location is serene and sublime. And the host is friendly, accommodating, easy to work with and funny. What a phenomal find and what a phenomenal way to unplug and recharge.

Comfy and cozy trip

Our stay at Shore Thing was everything we could’ve wanted in a Lake Michigan getaway. The house itself was beautifully designed and had so many thoughtful touches that made our two-family group feel right at home. I was especially impressed by how comfortably the space accommodated everyone—the third bedroom sleeping five people was a lifesaver! The property was spacious, spotless, and stocked with everything we needed for a relaxed family vacation. We loved the open-concept living area for group hangouts, and the huge windows kept the gorgeous outdoor views front and center. But the real highlight was our nightly ritual of walking down to the beach for sunset—those views over the water were pure magic. The location struck the perfect balance—peaceful and private, but still close enough to town for dinners out and exploring. The private beach access was a major perk, and we spent hours lounging by the shore. The hosts were fantastic—responsive, accommodating, and clearly attentive to details. Little things like the well-equipped kitchen, cozy bedding, and provided beach gear (chairs, umbrella, and a super handy wagon!) made our stay effortless. A few extras that really stood out: the EV charger saved us a charging stop on our way home, the hot tub was perfect for unwinding after beach days, and the kids adored making s’mores at the fire pit. The covered, screened porch became our favorite evening retreat once the kids were asleep—we’d sit out there for hours. Just a small note for future guests: you’ll want to bring your own cooler to pack drinks and food to the beach. We’re already talking about when we can return—this place had the ideal mix of comfort, convenience, and that unforgettable lakeside charm.
