Neighborhood was a wooden enclave with deer grazing the front lawn. A nice paved walk leads to a lovely coffee shop and the iconic Douglas Root beer barrel. We highly recommend Skipping Stones for a Michigan getaway." Natalie L. "This is the second year we have stayed at this wonderful location and we booked again already for next year! Close to the beach and a short drive to town..Thank you for another wonderful week!" Jana J.
