Girls Trip
Great cottage for a weekend girls trip! The view was beautiful and the beach was literally 3 steps off the deck. The cottage could use a little updating but it was the perfect size for 3 of us.

A dream stay
This is truly a place of dreams. The location is beyond perfect. We walked downtown for coffee every morning. Walked right off the deck everyday to the private beach. The nights could not be better to watch the sunset and sit around the fire pit with the other guests. We hope to spend many more years to come here. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay.

Vacation
This is a lovely cottage. Perfect location and steps away from the sand. Check-in was a bit late. Not bad. About 20 mins. I would suggest a more thorough cleaning. Under the queen bed was dust, dirt, paper/wrappers and sand. Same under the couch. Sand under the couch cushions. The pan cupboard was a mess. Everything just thrown in there. The shower needs a good scrub. Grout was dirty and you could see the soap scum. The ceiling fans make noise and could be replaced as well. Toilet runs and moves. Needs to be reset before plumbing issues start to occur. I normally would not post these things, but how will the owners know if we don’t. Other than that, I had a perfect vacation! Thank you.

Perfect off season getaway
Gorgeous beachfront to enjoy. Pics of the interior are accurate. It’s easy and relaxed. Not like a super “fancy” inside, but perfect for lying on the couch and watching the lake or sunset. And walking right out the door straight to the beach every morning. Booked off season for better rates and less crowded beach and luckily the weather cooperated. Also took a day trip to the Holland tulip festival which was delightful. I can see why families return here year after year! (*note there was some digging happening with big diggers in the area leading down to the beach on Monday morning. Quiet otherwise. I had a sense it was to move more sand into that walk down to the beach before the summer season started, so probably not an issue for on season guests).

A great escape
The cottage was everything we needed. It was clean and adorable. Gary was quick to answer any questions and went above the call when the first one to arrive had difficulty opening the door. The key code is on the main door, so open up the storm door and input your code there. We had a lovely, relaxing stay! Thank you, Gary and Debbie!

Didn’t mention
There was no mention of the 8 steep steps you had to go up and down coming and going to the car. Part of the reason I chose this particular place was not only the location, but that only 3 steps to the beach were mentioned. For those with a bad knee this is important. Those steps also had to be navigated unloading and loading.

Perfect Place to Relax and Have Fun
We are from Oklahoma and love going to the lake. Our daughter lives in Illinois and asked us to join her on this vacation. We couldn’t even imagine how perfect this place would be. Beautiful view of the beach, lake and amazing evening sunsets. We were on the beach a great deal of the time with our 3 year old grandson and enjoyed every minute of it. The deck was so nice and we built a fire one evening and sat by it as we ate our dinner we grilled on the grill that was provided. We’ll definitely be back!

You cannot beat the location of this cottage for its convenience to town (15min walk) and the lake! Cottage has everything you need including the lake views and sunset. Took my mom for a surprise Mother’s Day weekend trip - she more then enjoyed!

Amazing views
The perfect beach cottage for a family weekend away. Charming interior with breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. We watched the lake all day long so if we weren’t out walking the beach we were inside watching. The deck was wonderful. Cottage location is close to town and shops. We definitely will return and thank Gary and Debbie for easy communications!
