    *Dogs are allowed on the beach but we do have restrictions. Dogs must be kept on a leash and are technically only allowed in the mornings and late afternoon/ evenings. The beach can get busier during the day in the summer so they don’t like dogs out during the daytime. <<<>>>Please note that our cottage is located on a beautiful rural, wooded property where nature is part of the experience. Depending on the season, you may encounter mosquitoes, flies, spiders, ants, bees, and other insects, as well as wildlife such as deer, birds, squirrels, raccoons, and other native animals. While we have the home professionally cleaned and regularly treated for pests, it is impossible to eliminate all insects or wildlife in a natural setting. To help keep bugs outside, please keep doors and windows closed when not in use. Please keep food sealed and clean up any mess especially in kitchen.

Wonderful stay in Lakeside

We loved staying at this home in Lakeside. The living area was very spacious - two living spaces, screened in porch, and outdoor patio. It was also clean and comfortable. Our kids loved running around in the backyard and walking to the beach!

Amazing private beach access

Our family stayed here in August. The location was amazing, just a short 10 min walk to the private beach which was much larger than expected with not a lot of people. It’s also close to cute restaurants and coffee shops (Whistle Stop) and a short ride to downtown New Buffalo. The house was spacious and cottage like and perfect for our stay!

Great Neighborhood and Home

This is our favorite neighborhood in the Sawyer/St. Joe/New Buffalo area, hands down! The beach is never too busy, the walk to the beach is quick and easy, and on a whole, the neighborhood is quiet. This house was perfectly suited for our needs, with ample bedroom space for my family of five as well as my parents and our dog, a swingset in the backyard, and good living spaces. The only thing I'd change would be the sheets, as the ones on our bed were quite pilly and rough, but that's an easy fix! We would absolutely stay here again!

Enjoyed our time. The walk to the beach and down the walkway is mostly shaded and goes quicker than expected. Went everyday with our dog. Beach shoreline is beyond what the eye can see. Made for a beautiful ocean-like view and the option to walk the long shoreline of semi-private beaches. Not quite busy season so had the beach mostly to ourselves, especially at 9am or past 6pm.Comfortable furniture to rest and lounge. Short drive to local restaurants and neighboring towns. House and yard is more spacious than expected. Excellent communication.Recommend Roadhouse, Roundbarn tasting room, and New Buffalo.

This is a wonderful and cozy beach house with plenty of living space! Large kitchen and living room plus TV room. The outside decks are awesome, plus a cute sunroom. Very comfortable mattresses. With just a 5 minute walk to the beach entrance, we spent most days there enjoying Lake Michigan. Lakeside is a great area with a lot to offer and this house is a great place to stay.

Birthday weekend in Lakeside

This was our second year in a row coming up for the Columbus Day weekend and it was another memorable trip. Between the fall festival, the pumpkin patch, the beach, and the surrounding wineries and breweries, the whole family had a blast. The house was the perfect set up once again and the kids loved playing on the playground in the backyard. Can’t wait to do it again next year..
