The Water's Edge

"Such a wonderful place to spend a week in the summer! Mr. Hollister runs a clean and friendly place. We always get a room with the kitchen attached and we have a great time! I believe we have stayed there ten out of the last eleven years. There is always something to do on the property. A lake out front with various boats to choose from, a channel to view the boats coming and going, and just a quick walk to beautiful Lake Michigan. There is a dock for people who bring their own boats as well. Fishing is always popular. My favorite pastime is sitting around the fire at night stargazing in the crystal clear sky. Be sure to visit Duck Lake State Park just a mile or so down the road which has a huge beach on Lake Michigan which is never crowded. It is a must to eat at Pekadill's in Whitehall! Delicious sandwiches, dare I say, "gourmet"! I recommend the French Dip! Big John's Pizza is also delicious! There is the White River Lighthouse within walking distance and others to drive to. Visit the Happy Mohawk Canoe Livery to take a casual float (canoes, kayaks, or tubes) down the peaceful White River! Or visit Cherry Point Farm & Market for some fabulous fudge, fresh baked goods, or souvenirs! Country Dairy Farm is a wonderful place to visit as well; be sure to try the cheese curds! If horseback riding is your thing, Double JJ Resort is a lovely place to go; friendly staff, nice horses. Cherry Point, Country Dairy, and Double JJ Resort are a bit of a drive, but the countryside is beautiful as well. Silver Lake Sand Dunes are a bit farther, but a must see (and climb?) at least once. Highway 31 can make it quicker, but the view is not as good. I very highly recommend a stay at Hollister's Water's Edge! It is truly a peaceful and relaxing get-a-way!"

"We rented a cottage. Clean and stocked, including soap. Not much of a view due to the vegetation but we loved the area and easy access to the water and beaches. The owner, Frank, is the easiest person in the world to get along with."

"We have stayed at Water's Edge for many years. Frank the owner treats. Every guest with such respect and friendship that it is a joy to return. The physilities are alwayse clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend Water's Edge."

"I came here as a child and decided to bring my family back. It was the perfect place for a family vacation! There were plenty of boats to use (sailboat, paddleboat, canoe, kayak, rowboat). The accommodations are plain, but not what I came for. I came for the special location and was not disappointed."

"Many things were promised online such as a sailboat and other various watercraft. The owner tried to charge us more than he said originally and didn't accept credit cards. In general everything was very expensive and of very low quality and cleanliness."
