Absolutely adorable both inside and out, this classic cottage is perched on a hilltop within 1000 feet of Lake Michigan!

Plus, the grassy sideyard, private hot tub, and screened porch are charry on top when it comes to the exterior.

The chef of the group can easily whip up tasty meals after a full day of adventure while the rest of the gang cozies up by the fireplace or streams a favorite movie in the media room complete with a mounted flatscreen TV and plush sofa. Plus, when it is time to hit the hay, one bedroom awaits on the main floor, and a lofted bedroom awaits upstairs to give everyone their own sense of privacy!

Quiet getaway
Very nice home in a secluded area with lots of outdoor animal friends! We had squirrels, chipmunks, birds and deer visit us! The hot tub felt amazing and we were a short drive to several beaches!

Delightful Retreat
Loved our stay in Michiana. Fantastic location, great neighborhood with private beach access just a short walk away. Had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Rental was clean and instructions were clear. One note would be that the bed on the main level was a bit uncomfortable, would love for it to be upgraded to a new mattress and king size. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful Location
This cottage was wonderful for our 4 night stay. The hot tub was so relaxing and the backyard area was very private. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were very nice and the 2 sitting areas made it easy for us to each watch what we wanted. The cottage does need a little TLC as there are a few cracked windows and some rotting wood outside. This listing is a short 5-10 minute walk to the beach and you can hear the calming sound of the waves from the backyard. We will be back again soon.

Really Good
Pretty much everything I will share is consistent with the listing and past reviews. Very close to Lake Michigan. We could see it through the trees and hear the waves when the wind died down. Could be a 5* review with a couple improvements. A few things were broken. * The window above the kitchen sink is cracked. * There's a broken knob in the master bathroom. * The water level in the hot tub was down 6-10 inches. * There was no hot water in the master shower. Master sink yes, plenty... master shower no. Also the hot tub is "private" if by that you mean that you have exclusive use. But if by that you mean secluded and that you can't see five houses within 90 yards of the tub then it is not so "private." Otherwise the property was great and the management was very good and prompt to reply via text.

Peaceful
Checkin was seamless, this cottage is beautiful. I loved the fireplace and hot tube. Did feel a bit exposed with the wall to wall windows and bare trees. I imagine the sense of privacy would be increased in the summer with leaves on the trees

Perfect stay
The home was exactly as advertised; instructions for access, parking, and the home were mailed the morning of check in and they were very simple and easy to follow. The home was very clean and stocked with all the necessary household items, as well as firewood for the firepit and fireplace. The hot tub was already already set up for use which was an added plus. The area was quiet and residential, and very close to Lake Michigan. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Great location
The location and neighborhood are beautiful and quiet. The bed was not a king, and that was very important to us, so that was a problem. It was also extremely soft and uncomfortable. One of the two showers did not have hot water for some reason. One of the bathroom sinks was not draining. The seating inside is only for 4, so though it sleeps many, I would not bring more than 4 people for a cold weather stay. All that said, we had a lovely, cozy time there.
