The Shirley Temple is one of the best places we have rented in Michigan, and we have rented a lot of places. We loved the location, watching the boats come by, and the lake views. The house is adorable, clean, and comfortable. This was our first time on the east side of Michigan, and it didn't disappoint. We loved it all!!

Shirley’s temple is a beautiful perfect location. I loved laying on the couch while looking at the river. The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed. Check in was so smooth and easy. I loved that the key lock code was so simple to remember. The host was kind and was easy to work with

The house was clean and comfortable. We spent lots of time on the deck--reading, watching the boat traffic, and enjoying the ducks. The short walk to the beach opened up to a great view of the bay.
