Great property, very thoughtfully furnished. Kitchen wonderfully stocked with a lot of breakfast items including farm fresh eggs and sausages, which we enjoyed. Lots of helpful information about the house and nearby attractions. Only downside is the lack of a second shower stall, which could be inconvenient for a large family.

Awesome space and best host communication!

We loved this space and all of the unique and quirky touches. It was super clean, spacious and the breakfast part was above and beyond. Tony was the best and proactive communicator and answered any questions we had. He really thought of everything. Thanks so much, Tony!

Absolutely wonderful!!

Everything was great!! Host (Tony) was on top of everything as it was prepared with care! The area was very well thought out and put together. Tony goes above and beyond informing our groups of a tug boat traveling the bay making sure we knew and we're safe! Will recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area and will be returning to the high banks in the future!

We stayed for one night in July as we did a family roadtrip (including a dog) around Lake Michigan. This property was PERFECT! Spotless! Front porch with a view of Lake Michigan. Safe, quiet and welcoming just outside town location. The home decor was unique in the most special way! Details in every space. Absolutely everything you might need. The fridge/freezer and pantry were well stoked with items (waffles, eggs, juices- and so much more). The fenced backyard was PERFECT for our dog after a long day in the car. To play off leash securely was so needed. The owner left a book of house details and town notes which was super interesting and helpful. The only hiccup was with securing the keys at checkout and the owner responded immediately to our questions. Highly recommend!!!

Great place in MI

Had a great stay, dogs loved having a fenced in back yard to run around in and sunning on the deck. Great view of Lake Michigan. It was in a convenient location and within driving distance to many places.

Top notch

We stayed here one night only but wished we could move in!!! A lot of love and care was put into this beautifully updated lakeside place. We had anything and everything we could possibly need including handy bicycles to get around and a well stocked Kitchen for breakfast! The four of us friends have stayed in many VRBO’s and this one is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. Thank you Tony for a great experience on the last evening of our trip.

Great place!!

We greatly enjoyed our overnight stay. This place has a quiet location that has easy access to nearby activities/businesses. The stocked kitchen is definitely a bonus for travelers, as it really helped that we didn’t need to stop and pick up anything for breakfast or to drink. The place is tastefully decorated and comfortable. Highly recommend!! Would definitely stay again if we need lodging in the area.

So many unique and personal touches

We had a great stay! We came up for the MISH Experience triathlon. This house was a perfect location, had a nice view of the lake across the street and a large backyard for an evening bonfire after a tough race. Tony was really thoughtful about so many things with this house. We look forward to staying here for the race next year.

It's everything that's promised and more

My family came stayed for 5 nights on our U.P. vacation. The house has so much character and is decorated so thoughtfully with meaningful pieces explained in a book that is in the house. When Tony says there is a fully stocked kitchen, he's not kidding. It was beyond our expectations. The house was clean and comfortable. It also has a great location. We rode the vintage bikes north to the park one night and walked to the ice cream parlor another time. The view from the deck never got old. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It helped make for a very enjoyable vacation. Tony is a terrific host.
