Best airbnb host I have had to date. On top of the gorgeous house, that somehow was even better than the pictures, Frederico was so helpful with making our trip as smooth as possible. Will forsure be returning, and highly recommend to any groups or families.

What an amazing find. The house was everything the description promised it would be. It was roomy and fun, and everything we wanted for our annual board game weekend.

Federico was super friendly and quick to respond to our questions and requests. We couldn’t have asked for a better host.

Wonderful, relaxing, peaceful lakefront getaway!  perfect outdoor lounging and games and recreation.  beautiful surroundings.  7 of us for family visiting college students.  perfect bedroom setups, super large family - living area adjoining kitchen.  We will hope to visit again every fall and more.  super supportive team if you need anything.  one of best lake cabin getaways just 10 mins from Hillsdale.  loved it and great family memories!  5 stars.  thank you!

Great getaway tucked away in a quiet corner near Hillsdale, Michigan. Very family friendly property. Fantastic game room and backyard fire pit, lake view and yard games for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommend to family and friends!!!

Sapphire Shores was the perfect spot for my group’s trip. Daniel was a great host. He was responsive, proactive, and great with his communication. We had a long weekend filled with lake swims, hot tubbing, grilling, throwing bags, shooting some pool, playing basketball in the driveway, and playing the Street Fighter arcade game in the game room.
The house was spotless from top to bottom when we arrived, the coffee bar was top notch and the kitchen was fully stocked with any supplies we needed. 
The house is made for hanging out and relaxing. The lower floor has a full kitchen, tv area, and a long dining table perfect for card games. The backyard is really impressive: plenty of seating, a fire pit, hot tub, Blackstone grill, outdoor games in the shed, and the lake with kayaks all steps away. It was peaceful and relaxing to just sit and look at the view of the lake and nature. Multiple bedrooms upstairs allowed us all our own rooms with comfy beds and plenty of space. Thanks Again Daniel
