REVIEWS
"We loved our stay at Skipping Stone. Roomy house, everything you could possibly need.. Grill was great also! 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."
