Up North Friends Week
Perfect location for accessing bike trails, Lake Michigan and Platte Lake. We had 8 adults staying and it was great except for 2 couples having to share the upstairs (which we knew in advance). Property was nice but could have been cleaned a little better. There were crumbs under the microwave and sand on the floor throughout. We arrived promptly at 4 and the cleaning lady was still there. Couldn't get in until 4:45 but she did let us start unloading our things. With VRBO later check-ins and early check-outs I figure you should be able to get in on time. You get charged extra for staying late. Would definitely stay again!

Property was exactly as described, close to beach and Empire--all VERY SHORT walks which was delightful. Had great time and house was perfect for the 7 of us. Only minor issue was could not get shower to work in the main floor bathroom.
