Great stay for our family!

We stayed at this cottage for 5 nights. The cottage was so cute and homey and perfect for our family of 5. We loved the decor and it was so nice to have a fully stocked kitchen. This place is in a great location to easily visit anywhere from New Buffalo to St Joe. We loved the privacy at this home. The backyard is huge and filled with beautiful trees/forest. Thanks for a great stay!

Charming getaway

This darling house was perfect for our 3 day fall break trip. The yard was great for our kids while we sat by the fire pit with drinks. I enjoyed daily porch naps. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed!

A serene spot for a weekend away.

We love all things Lakeside, MI, and this charmer is no different. Alison has made this cottage absolutely dreamy. Build a fire, read a book, listen to some music with wine, and you have yourself the perfect fall or winter weekend.

Lovely, nicely decorated

This was a perfect little rental for myself and my brother for my mothers celebration of life in New Buffalo.It has a beautiful backyard and the interior is adorable.. the kitchen is very Nice but only used it for breakfast.. its in a quiet woodsy area, close to new buffalo. It only has one bedroom with a proper bed the other bedroom is bunkbeds, so my tall brother had to sleep in a kid’s bunk.. probably perfect for a couple with kids. The host was very responsive and helpful. If i ever visit again I would stay here, other family members rented places that were just atrocious, badly decorated and moldy. This place is a gem

Family trip to Michigan

The stay was great. Close driving distance to beaches and beach towns. Small space but the layout is well designed. Beds were very comfortable! A small thing I would recommend is adding a full length mirror over one of the doors. Perhaps the laundry room door. Only one bathroom so another mirror would be helpful. Close proximity to several beaches and we really enjoyed our rainy day in the town of Three Oaks. Journeyman distillery was great!

Peaceful June Stay

The cottage was charming with a modern vibe and thoughtfully designed. I loved the sleeping porch with the two daybeds and heaps of pillows, and it was air-conditioned. The kitchen and bathroom looked new and fresh. The backyard was huge and the neighborhood of Three Oaks is green, quiet and restful. Attractions were just a short drive away, like the national and state parks, New Buffalo and St. Joseph (and the cool lighthouse). I would stay in this home again and recommend to others.

Peaceful stay

This property is down a gravel road into a small neighborhood. There are many trees on the property and bird song The house is so nicely decorated and very comfortable. I had everything I needed. You may be lucky like me and see a deer I did have reception difficulties on the beaches and in the woods so be prepared for that. I wanted to stay longer than I did! Thank you Alison for preparing a lovely home

Family reunion

For us the perfect location. It was a comfortable place for two couples. I personally would not like to stay there with more since there is very little place to hang towels (hooks) or put things away (closets). But for us it was great. Enjoyed the deck (a bit of painting is needed).

Family Beach Vaycay

Very beautiful interior and lovely home overall. Well equipped. Good location. Great host. Only issue was the housekeeping. The beds were not made and seemed to have not been washed. Also there was what looked like cat pee on one of the carpets. Once we washed them in the provided washer and dryer, all was well. Host graciously refunded our cleaning fee explaining she had new housekeeper. Hopefully it was a one-time issue! This really was a lovely place to stay!

Perfect Quiet Getaway!

This was the perfect spot for a low-key girls trip! The kitchen was well equipped with what we needed for cooking, and plenty of coffee supplies. The welcome baskets were so practical and adorable! Alison let me check in an hour early which was so nice!! A few things to note - the bathroom fans and the shower crank window were both broken so there wasn’t any ventilation available. The kitchen garbage wasn’t functional, when we arrived the bag wasn’t installed onto the can and clearly was way too small for the can, so that was a struggle. The screened in porch with beds hadn’t been vacuumed upon arrival as there was dirt, dead bugs/flies all over the ground which was a little icky for somewhere we were going to be sleeping. The dishwasher, vacuum and dryer were also full upon arrival. Overall, this was a wonderful spot for our group, just felt the cleaners missed a few things before we got there - it happens! Thanks Alison!
