The drive to Heron Creek winds through a thick forest, guiding you to the edge of the coast where stunning views and a refreshing lake breeze await. Walk out onto the deck to take in a bluff-top view of vast Lake Michigan, then descend the stairs to get your toes in the sand of the plush private beach. The views permeate the home's interior through its many windows. Catch glimpses of lush greenery in every room, and walk into the living area for a stunning panoramic view of the lake.

What’s nearby:
You could easily enjoy a fun-filled day right at home, swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing on the expansive deck. But if you're feeling adventurous, Saugatuck Dunes State Park (three miles south) and downtown Saugatuck (six miles south) are both short drives away. In town, you'll find an assortment of unique shops, a variety of restaurants, and wonderful art galleries.

Great!
It was a perfect place for a quiet New Year's get together with friends and their children. The large table in the living room was great for lots of board games, we were super grateful the TV got all the stations we needed for football games, and the kitchen was more well stocked than we expected. With no leaves on the trees, the view of the lake was great.

Slightly disappointed
Overall the house was fine. However the overgrown trees block the view of Lake Michigan from the house. Very disappointing. Yes you can walk down the stairs to a deck with chairs to view the beach/sunset but the pictures online misrepresent which deck to use to view the water. This was false advertising to me and I would book elsewhere in the future. If I book on the water, I want to view the water from the house. Also the ceiling needs to be cleaned where the ceiling fans is…lots and lots of hanging dust which is visible.

Nice place
We loved it but be aware there are a lot of stairs getting into the home. One of the people staying had a broken ankle so that made it difficult for her. Also, there really isn't a view of the lake, because of the trees, without going down to the landing. The rooms were big and nicely decorated. Overall a beautiful place right on LAKE MICHIGAN!!

Loved our holiday. We were short one bedroom with privacy so used the laundry room as a private room.

Great Weekend Trip
Had an amazing time with our large group of 32 year old friends. There are a LOT of stairs down to the beach so that may not work for some people but we loved the beach, the size, the number of beds/bathrooms and the location! Great stay!

Weekend Stay
House was spacious and clean. The beach access was a great perk and it was cool to be in such a remote location. The only downside to the house is that the water has a strong sulfur smell. It wasn't very pleasant to drink or shower, so we mainly used bottled water.

Beautiful getaway
We had beautiful April weather and needed a getaway. This house has the potential to be 100 percent 5 star. The views are priceless. The previous reviews are constant with what we found. Although I was shocked at the dirtiness of the couches. I have not seen that since collage days. So yes stained carpets, and scuffed wall in main living area. Yet so many things were very nice. The water did not bother us. We have a well at home. There are 70 steps to the water but, it is very well made with rest stops. My 75 year old parents who came for dinner could do it fine. I think this is a good place for a large group with children. You just keep thinking that this place could be so nice with a little refreshing. Good supplies of dish detergent, laundry detergent, minimal spices and pantry items. The staff (and yes that feels different than an owner) was responsive and pleasant. I get the feeling the company does not do early check ins period. Getting to the house from the main road is tricky the first time. You want printed out instructions as you most likely will not have service. Overall we enjoyed our time and would go again.

Impressive property, unimpressed with management
Overall a great place, beautiful view, clean. First time in a place not owned by a family but a company which was quite evident. Had read on another review that carpets need cleaning and they indeed have several spots, not disturbing though. There is a grill pictured but it is not maintained and not on the deck. Unfortunately we lost power during our stay and the generator, though on, was not maintained and did not function. We called the number given but were hung up on several times, evening and morning. When we finally did reach someone they were friendly and told us that the property manager was not available and that we would be refunded for the time we didn’t have power, which we were, promptly. All in all it’s a fantastic house and location and believe it or not I think we would still go back, just with lower expectations of management.
