The home was very spacious and had lovely views from every room. The beds were comfortable. The dining area warm and inviting too. Lots of space to spread out or be together whatever your family needs. We did a lot of reading and card playing. The surrounding area is so quiet! It was just the reset we needed. The beach was so close so you could come and go easily from the house to the water. We enjoyed the climb over the dune to the view of the water. Perfect ! The Lake Michigan water was shallow pretty far out so you could easily cool off without too much worry. The state park next door was fantastic. We walked trails every day and hardly ran into anyone except the deer! The decks were relaxing to be on and have morning coffee. You can hear the waves rolling in from the front deck which was so calming. My kids enjoyed the use of kayaks and I am so thankful we could bring our dog along for vacation too. One of the better pet friendly stays we have had. My kids enjoyed the game room space and playing ping pong. The crows nest was a special spot and one night we had terrific clear skies for star gazing. If you enjoy nature and the quiet side of things, this can be a relaxing place to stay with your family and friends. ![View of the Crows nest, one of the most unique features of the home.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b3a12699-b873-4c44-91f1-5202848a5b42-1753017490899.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The walk over the dune to the beach.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/55eee672-5afd-4747-a8df-bd26650210a4-1753017490813.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![This is such a pretty beach of pine trees and lake breeze .](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/35cba44a-d04c-46a4-bd2d-1018159e374b-1753017491474.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Spacious dining area and afternoon sun felt great.

Good space for hanging out, playing games, cooking, etc. Large comfy couch and large kitchen table, so good for groups. We enjoyed the back deck and short walk down to the beach. We did pay extra for linens and towel service, which I think could be improved if we were to stay here again. Some linens had stains on them and the master bedroom set that was provided did not fit the size of the mattress. ##### Colleen H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann K.

The house is a brief walk to the beach ( not for people with mobility issues) and it is a wonderful large quiet beach on Lake Michigan. The kiddos were in heaven. The house had plenty of room for us to spread out and was well equipped with plenty of items to enjoy including a pool table and several televisions. The kitchen was also well equipped with everything you might need To prepare a meal We enjoyed the house and the large kitchen table where we could enjoy a meal together or the outside deck which also has a patio table to enjoy the weather. We also enjoyed being able to access the state park right at the end of the street ##### Ann K. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul W. May 7, 2019 #### beach heaven Our stay at Whitefish Dunes Park was amazing. It was like having a cabin in the state park itself. We walked out of the back door and up the dunes into miles and miles of trails, or walked down the drive to miles of beach. The quiet was remarkable! The house was perfect for us - especially because we were able to bring our 3 dogs. The house is family friendly with a wonderful fireplace and game room. The dinning room has lake views as does the deck. The widow's peak gave us terrific views of the dunes and the lake. An awesome place! Paul Wilson of Ohio ##### Paul W.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our quiet mornings (before the kids woke up), sipping coffee and taking in the breathtaking view from the beach. The kitchen, adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the picturesque woods, made breakfast a delightful experience. The natural beauty of the surroundings, including woodpeckers, deer, turkeys, cardinals, and bluejays, captivated us for hours as we relaxed on the wrap-around deck. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. Being able to see the sunrise through the trees from the master bedroom was breathtaking! When we were not off exploring hiking trails, eating ice cream, or relaxing on the beach, we entertained ourselves with ping pong in the game room or reading in their charming sitting room. All five of us shared the sentiment of how much we adored Fred's house, making it the most memorable family vacation we have ever had. We can't wait to get back there next summer! ##### Maureen C.

Oct 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Host & Great Location; Would Recommend We stayed at the Sand Dunes with our family of 4 and our friends' family of 4. It was spacious and enjoyable. Fred was a great host and quickly answered my multitude of questions. Overall, I would recommend this home. PROS: Fantastic location, lovely home, wonderful indoor fireplace - which was great for fall. The home was spacious, close to the beach and had great walking trails into the state park. CONS: We brought our own sheets to avoid the linen charge, this was fine, but a lot of work. I was well aware of this ahead of time but it is a hassle and I would prefer a home with linen's included. I would have loved to see this home in it's heyday (90's). The architecture is phenomenal and you can tell care went into building it. Today, the insides could use an uplift. Nothing is functionally wrong, but the carpet is tired, the woodwork is stained, the furniture is older, and the floors have seen better days. None of these, however, interfered with our great trip and, again, Fred was a responsive host! Thanks! ##### Jenny S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### james m.

Beach is gorgeous. Access to the beach may be a challenge if you have mobility problems or small children. Steep drive to walk up and down as well. Overall very pleasant and enjoyable stay and would return and also recommend. ##### james m. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamara S.

Hiking and biking trails available outside the house. Very quiet area with beautiful lake view sunrises ##### Carole V. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marilyn K.

It easily accommodated the 7 adults and 6 children in our group. It is a lovely home in a more than lovely environment. Just a short walk to a private beach, but close enough to hear the waves crash on the shore from the deck. We will be back! ##### Marilyn K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott B.

Then each was gorgeous and the home had plenty of room for our group. The private path to the beach was a bit longer rougher than we had expected which was difficult for the smaller kids, but the clean soft sand made it all worthwhile. ##### Scott B.

A beautiful woodsy setting, comfy and large enough for our family group of 12. The beach was really fantastic with kayaking and paddle board rentals adding to the fun. Fred and his wife were superb hosts, very responsive and a great source of local information. Hope to come again! Pat Thomson ##### Pat T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff W.

We absolutely loved the private beach, took lots of long walks both directions in the water the sand is amazing, loved being next to the whitefish dunes Park. Wonderful balconies all around the house for coffee or wine sipping. Very large house with lots of room lots of great space and we really appreciated that our dog was welcome. Also really enjoyed the bike riding in the area. Fred was a very nice host! We would love to come again!! ##### Jeff W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacey L.

The house had more than enough room for our entire family to spread out. It was also very clean. The beach was just a short walk from the driveway. It was a cool and windy weekend but walking the beach was a perfect way to relax and enjoy nature. When it rained one of the nights, we held a family ping pong tournament. It was an amazing house and a relaxing retreat from our normal daily life! ##### Stacey L.
