    Carol's Cottage



    The Space:

    With charm to spare and a great location within walking distance of Empire Beach, hiking and biking trails, quaint local restaurants and shops, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, you’ve chosen wisely with this adorable cottage. The kids and family dog will love the fenced back yard, and you’ll love the cozy firepit, perfect for roasting marshmallows at the end of the day. Inside, you’ll find a colorful, open space, ideal for reconnecting with family and friends. Use the full kitchen to prepare snacks for the beach, or sit down for a meal together at the sunny dining room table. After a day of exploration, grab a board game for some more together time, stream the latest release on either TV, or use the free WiFi to post pics of the day’s dune climb to your social media. End the day with a family cookout, and drift off to sleep dreaming of the next day’s adventures. Please note that this property does not have A/C. THINGS TO KNOW There is no dishwasher in the kitchen. This property is managed by VueStay Vacations. Michigan Real Estate license #6505433797.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The cottage has a fenced yard that is nice with a dog, big fridge in the kitchen and is walkable to beach and Main Street, all of which was nice. It was a hit musty when we arrived but not a big deal. The water filter in the fridge didn't work but we had our own filter with us. I think it was overall a nice place to stay but I feel like it was overpriced for what we got.
