Family friendly privacy with loads of space
Loved the campfire at night, the privacy, but ease of location. It was so close to the lake and close to the small town. Kitchen allowed us to cook all of our meals there. We felt like the owners had us in mind when they prepared things. The garage space was a great bonus for staging tubes for the river or for the kids to hang out. Pictures don't entirely capture how much space is in the house. Would definitely stay again!

Can't beat the location. Cottage was great overall. Nicely decorated. Plenty of room. Had everything we needed. Nice bonfire pit. Cottage did smell like they might have a dog but they had plug in air fresheners. Only thing that could be improved upon were the beds/mattresses/pillows. Not the most comfortable. But we'd stay here again, especially if those were updated. Owner was very nice and responsive. We all had a great time!

Sleeping Bear Dunes vacation
The property was very clean. Excellent space, larger and nicer than the pictures indicate. The kitchen was spacious but could have used a few more pans, baking sheets and utensils. Overall a great stay and would definitely recommend this property.

Unfortunate lack of disclosure
Hello Cam, On Monday July 8, 2024 I received medical clearance to travel . Ellen and I reached out to the Berkes to let them know that we would join them at your vacation home on Wednesday July 10, 2024 ,which we had rented from you and paid for well in advance. Michael informed me that you had a conversation with them and told them that the additional bedroom, which is located upstairs, would not be safe for our use because the access stairs to the bedroom were steep and dangerous and the bathroom which would be used at night was located downstairs. Michael then inspected and confirmed that. Your statement surprised me since in my email to you of June 16, 2024 I informed you that the Berkes and we had been friends for 60 years, indicating that we are all elderly. You did not warn me then of the condition of the house and that your practice was to rent to families and groups having younger people. The purpose in renting your vacation rental was for the four of us , Berkes and Kaplans, to be together. Your home is advertised on VERBO as sleeping 10 people. NO comments or warnings by you or VRBO limiting the use of the home are made in your advertisement on VERBO. Had you told me by replying to my June 16th email either by response email, telephone call or text, I had plenty of time to cancel our rental ( by June 23, 2024) and receive a full refund. Instead , you remained silent and kept our money. We were ready on July 8, 2024 to use your premises but it was not suita

Spacious and clean
We were able to get in a little early. Cam was so accommodating. The nature is wonderful and it’s not too far away from grocery stores. It was super close to the water and trails also. It was a wonderful weekend getaway. Would highly recommend.

Great location and property
Was a phenomenal stay with my friends. A couple mins from the beach and a short drive to the dunes. Wonderful home and open property for plenty of activities which comfortably fit the ten of us. Would happily come back again

Great location and clean property with great service
This property is located within minutes drive to all that sleeping bear dunes has to offer including beautiful beaches, Glen lake, plate lake, Crystal lake etc… great hikes and dune climb nearby, Kayaking , biking… house was clean and comfortable with good wifi. Very private. Cam the owner, went out of his way to help us more than once , and was always available to assist with any issue. He even personally escorted us by car to the house when we couldn’t find it on Waze! Highly recommend this property if you are staying in this area.

Great Space for large family or group
Got the chance to run into the owners Cam & Emily before check in. Super cool and chill couple. They give me a tour and made themselves available should we need anything during our stay. Will definitely book with them again. Every one in the group loved the house. (even my picky sister-in-law lol) Super spacious and clean.

Weekend Getaway
Convenient peaceful location for seeing all the great sites up north. Plenty of space for our family to spread out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Nice fire pit area with plenty of wood. Porch overlooking yard to watch hummingbirds while sipping the morning coffee was cozy. The house was very clean and has nicely updated bedrooms and bathrooms. Overall a great place to stay for our weekend getaway.
