Cozy home in a wonderful location for peace, quiet and nature

The house was clean, cozy and very comfortable for our family of 4 (and would easily and comfortably accommodate up to 6 people). The exposed wood beams and the decor gives the place a wonderful rustic lodge feeling. Even better is the location: steps away from pristine, quiet beach on Lake Michigan, which in turn is steps from the border of the Wilderness State Park, with miles of practically-empty beach and woods to wander and enjoy. The hosts are also incredibly responsive, generous and helpful. A perfect location for a quiet, peaceful and beautiful stay!

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay. Went down to the beach, enjoyed the view and walked along to the bend. It was so relaxing. Went in the hot tub. Read my book on the patio chairs. Beds and furnitures are very comfortable. Very clean house. My only advise: Make sure to buy your groceries ahead of time, including oil for cooking and jug of drinking water, if you don't like the taste of well water. Theirs wasn't bad at all but if you have kids or even adults that aren't used to it. Major grocery stores, Walmart/Meijer were about 45 mins away.

Great stay at Somerset

This is a very nice property, well appointed. A perfect "up north" get away. Clean, well maintained and equipped. Nice deck. Right on a spectacular wide, sandy, miles long beach. Adjacent to Wilderness State Park. Very close to Legs Inn and other attractions at Cross Village and Good Hart. Convenient to Harbor Springs, The Straits, and even Petosky. Plenty of hiking nearby, especially in Nature Concervancy sites.

Clean house!!

The property was very clean . Beds were comfortable.(Needed a step stool to get in).However, the washer dryer situation is not good. Washer drains in a sink which over flows. Water and electricity are not a good mix. A dishwasher would be nice.

Great beachfront property

Great location right on Lake Michigan. So unusual to find something this private right on the lake, the beach was beautiful. Sommerset Lake House was super clean and well equipped and Mark was great to work with--a really great host.

Why they chose this property

All levels of golf are within a 15 minute drive.
The famous 'Tunnel of Trees' which is great for cyclists or a nice afternoon drive is only 3 miles south. Explore Wilderness State Park just up the road or enjoy all sorts of water sports; kayaking, swimming, wind sailing, etc.
Sommerset is a perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan and the grandeur of Northern Michigan.

What makes this property unique

Wonderful / wide sandy beach with gentle slope going far out into the lake. Sunsets are absolutely stunning & see the beacons from 5 light houses on a clear night. Protected by tall cedar trees and very quiet...peacefull
