Vacation Two Rivers
We have stayed at this property every summer for a week for about ten years now. We love that it's big enough for all 14 of us. The backyard grill area and deck are used constantly. The women and kids love Neshotah beach and the guys are fishing on lake Michigan. Also Property manager Rosalie is great to work with. Always gets everything taken care of swiftly. Going back next summer.

Ladies Book Club Getaway
We were a group of seven women who are in a book club together and for this month's meeting we decided to have a girls weekend on Lake Michigan! The cabin was easy to find, access and we all had our own space. Towels were fluffy and there were plenty of supplies for what we needed. Kitchen was clean and we utilized the oven and coffee maker for breakfast and the table was perfect for our group to play games and eat. We did use Outburst from the shelf and had a blast. We also played the headline game and had fun as well; thank you for having extra games! Water was hot for all of our showers and the water pressure was great. We were right off of Lake Michigan and the views were wonderful. We went into both Two Rivers and Manitowoc and enjoyed the restaurants, beaches, bookshops and other local businesses. Would recommend and would visit again!
