Cute Lakeside Getaway
We had some friends getting married in Onekama (and having never been to this part of the state) we’re looking for a good place to bunk up between the festivities. We’re so delighted to have found this property, it was charming, clean and gf an absolutely breathtaking view over the lake. Our host was great at communicating to us and even offered to let us stay for longer than we had booked. Highly recommend this property and a great intro to this cute town!

A little piece of Lake Heaven
If you love lake life... it doesn't get much better than this! The views from you windows, balcony & backyard are Amazing! Our hosts, Jim & Lilian, are out of this world! It really feels like home away from home! They have thought of all the "little" things that make an impactful difference! They are also very responsive to any questions and are very hospitable! The condo is very clean and well kept. The lake is clear and although there is activity (boats, etc.) It is still pretty quiet! It's all soothing wave noise! There are numerous hiking trails nearby or you can make a day trip to Traverse City or Sleepy Bear Dunes! Quiet little community, not much around for groceries, etc. We just drove to Manistee 10-12 minutes away for a Meijer or other stores for our last minute or forgotten items. We look forward to staying here again!

Great get away
We had so much fun in Onekama (and surrounding cities/towns). The property was perfect: comfortable inside space to sleep and relax, and a great outside space; firepit, chairs, and a swing. Also you get the best of both worlds with some shade and some sun. We brought our own kayaks, and there was a place on site to put them when we were done so we didn't have to trailer them each day. - check out the M22 Grill for diner type cooking with friendly staff. We already have tentative reservations for next year. Jim and Lillian were great to work with, they were very nice and the snacks they left us were a nice touch.

Lovely spot
Lovely sunset views with a very professional host. A great spot for a vacation getaway. We loved it. A couple of notes for perspective renters: -the owner lives immediately downstairs from the unit. They’re not intrusive at all, but this NOT a party place. Which was perfect for my family. —the house’s waterfront isn’t ideal for swimming, but there is a small public beach literally 2 doors down from the property.

Wonderful getaway condo on a lake
Wonderful stay at this adorable condo. On a beautiful lake, Jim (superhost) is very responsive and communicates really well. Jim & wife got us out of a very tight spot. They helped us start a dead car battery. The condo was very well stocked for our stay. The condo was immaculate and charming. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place. Highly recommend this place!
