Poorly managed
The property has potential but was severely neglected during the time of our stay. When we arrived, we immediately saw several signs of disrepair: there is a note written on a piece of cardboard saying that the dishwasher was broken. The blinds in one of the bedrooms were broken so that it was impossible to have privacy, a large chunk of tile had fallen off of the shower and black mold and mildew lined the tiles and grout,a piece of metal on the stovetop was broken and bent skyward, the air conditioning never function properly and was unable to cool the house below 77Ā°. There was laundry left in both the washer and the dryer when we arrived so we had linens to fold upon arrival. Although the dishwasher was broken, the house was completely devoid of supplies: absolutely no toilet paper, no paper towels, no dish soap for the handwashing we hadnāt expected, no laundry detergent, and no bar soap. We found ourselves searching at grocery stores several times so that we could purchase the items that were missing for our stay. The bunk beds were rickety and clearly not safe. There was a strong odor of mildew from the ceiling of the mudroom. We communicated these problems to Monica, the property manager, and she assured us that our cleaning fee would be refunded. After several messages to Monica, we have yet to see a refund. This refund was promised nearly 3 weeks ago.

The exterior of the house and the porch were poorly maintained. Looked ramshackle. Screen porch door was off its hinge and the screen had tears in it- one that a squirrel was using to access the porch. Lots of spider webs. Interior was clean, comfortable and old. Again, in need of maintenance. A dresser in one bedroom, fell over when my husband moved it to look for a socket. The dresser feet were old and soft and cracked, falling forward. Would not stay here again.

A sweet spot
We loved the house and neighborhood. The long table adjacent to the kitchen was a great gathering spot. Super close to beaches and all the attractions along Red Arrow highway.
Plusses: Washer /dryer, air conditioning, sweet decorations, pet friendly layout and furnishings, comfy cute linens, decent mattresses on all beds, private back room with queen bed, huge modern spotless refrigerator/freezer.
A few things that didn't work well for us, but could be fine for others: the bedroom with two bunk beds left insufficient head room and floor space for my adult children, so nearly unusable for any of them; limited comfy sofa space for hanging out together.
Negatives: there is poison ivy in the yard; porch screens need repair; electric stove is old and thus a bit hard to cook on.

Disappointing experience
My family of 4 stayed at Ellieās cottage for two weeks.
Cons - Kitchen light consistently malfunctioned and acted as a strobe light making all of us dizzy. I contacted the property manager multiple times. She promised several times that a handyman would come to fix it and no one ever showed up. I sent her a video and she again said someone would come out. Never heard from her again. The toilet was also leaking 24/7 making a drip drip noise. Again, no handyman for two weeks. The screened in porch had a huge tear in one of the screens making it impossible to spend time in there which would have been wonderful for our family (lots of big bugs).
Pros - solid internet which was critical because the kids were in school and we were both working. Also, there were fun board games to play. Kitchen was well stocked. Dishwasher, washer and dryer all functioned well.

Summer vacation
We have been to this area before and the kids love the beach and blueberry picking. Easy drive from Chicago area. Monica's home was clean and very close to the beach. Plan on going to Warren dunes if your kids like to play in the sand as the beachfront at Cherry beach is limited. Great area to get away to.

It was clean and had all the modern conveniences. I did notice that repairs needed to be made to the exterior of the home. The back steps were in disrepair and dangerous. The landscaping also needed to be trimmed back to make access to the backyard easier. A front exterior doorway light should also be installed. It would also have been nice to have received an update as to the condition of the beaches. The beach that was outlined in the information provided on the website was inaccurate. That beach area had been closed down since last season according to homeowners in that area which meant we had to find another beach access and travel a little further to get there. Other than that, we all enjoyed our stay and the accommodations.

Adorable Gem
The cottage was the perfect size for a large group on a budget. Then there were all the little notions throughout the house that added a personal touch: loads of board games, hundres of legos for the kids, books for children, birding books, the chalk board with a basket of colorful chalk, new dishwasher, french door refridgerator, spacious enclosed outdoor dining area. Large back yard where the kids could roam, explore and run free. What a nice surprise all the extras were!

A very sweet little cottage, close to everything.
We had a great stay over the Labor Day weekend. The house was nicely outfitted, screened porch was a great place to hang out and there is super fast WiFi, which was nice. Best for a couple or a family with younger kids, I think. And a nice nature trail a few steps away. Monica was very responsive to our needs.

Lovely getaway cottage for families!
My husband and our two kids and I loved staying in this sweet cottage with its huge backyard, wonderful porch, and homey charm. So convenient to New Buffalo, the Warren Dunes, Sawyer, and all our favorite stops along Red Arrow Highway. Lots of beach supplies to use, board games to play, and bunk beds too! We loved using the backyard fire pit for S'mores and loved sitting out under the stars at night. When we accidentally left a precious stuffed animal behind, Monica was so helpful and understanding and got it back to us in the mail very quickly. Would definitely stay here again! Would be great for a girls' weekend or a couple's getaway as well!
