“We could not have loved our time at
this beautiful property more! ”
“We had 8 ladies for an easy getaway--everyone had their own space, with a bathroom on each floor, and the shared living spaces were a dream. We had a wonderful private chef prepare dinner for us one night, so can confidently say the kitchen was set up to support real cooking. Each of us vowed to bring our families back for another stay. The property owners were extremely responsive to questions before our stay and responded within *minutes* when we had a little trouble figuring out the door key pad upon arrival. The panoramic views of Lake Michigan are a dream come true -- we witnessed every season during our mid-March stay, including crazy winds. The home kept us nice and toasty while we watched the snow whip around outside. Even in the harsher elements, the hot tub was an incredible treat. Truly, cannot recommend this space more!”

This is a magnificent property. It comfortably fit our whole party and had lots of activities on site. The lake was beautiful in the fall. Would stay here again 100%

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lighthouse Bluff. We are 3 families spanning several generations, gathering together. The house was big enough that we could enjoy our space, yet get together and enjoy each other, whether it be around the dinner table, the fireplace or the game room. The views of Lake Michigan were amazing. This was our first trip to Lake Michigan and we felt that we were at the ocean. The weather was unusually cool but we were still able to enjoy the views while inside. We enjoyed all amenities- the kayaks, the hottub, kitchen amenities ( we grilled several times during the week), the balconies, and the game room. The management team was very responsive to our needs, thank you Briana and Michael. We hope to return next summer!”

“This home is the most beautiful home ever!!! We LOVED staying here. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures. It’s modern but unique and still feels cozy. The hot tub is huge and beautiful to be right on Lake Michigan. We came in the winter so we weren’t able to fully enjoy the lake but in the summer this house would be a MUST to visit!! Would 100% recommend and would love to come back.”

“Our stay at the Lighthouse Bluff was exactly the getaway we needed. What an incredibly BEAUTIFUL location! It was peaceful & spacious. Falling asleep at night listening to Lake Michigan’s water hit the shore was magical. Thank you again for giving our family a next level holiday trip.”
This place was everything we hoped for our weekend getaway. The location was excellent and the views of the lake were beautiful. It had everything we needed, from a hot tub to a fire pit, and brand new ping pong table. The owner even went out of his way to make sure we had a grill. Only a short drive to downtown traverse city and many other destinations. Would definitely recommend!

“We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the northern lights
from the hot tub – talk about magical ”
Wow, what a gem of a spot! This lake retreat was like stepping into a cozy haven with spacious rooms and breathtaking views. It was the perfect getaway for us and our friends – we lounged, laughed, and simply soaked in the tranquility. The nearby trails and easy access to downtown TC added an extra layer of delight to our stay. And let me tell you, the place is even more stunning in person than in the photos! The minimalist design blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings, creating a serene atmosphere. We loved the cozy curved sofa and fire place, perfect late night movie spot!! And can we talk about those beds? Pure luxury! We all slept like rocks. The game room was a blast, bringing everyone together for some good old-fashioned fun. We’re already planning our return trip for the summer – can't wait to experience it all over again in a different season!
