We went primarily to enjoy the beach front property and it did not disappoint, the beach was only steps from the home and the sand on the beach was soft and clean with plenty of amenities if you wanted to take advantage of the water. Plenty of seating to enjoy view or fire pit. The home was clean with all the necessary essentials and then some. Wi-Fi was excellent. We would definitely stay there again,

Anniversary Trip to Relax

The house and property were wonderfully relaxing and beautiful. We rode provided bikes to the State Park near by, walked the mere feet to the lake shore, cooked out on the provided grills, and made s’mores on the fire pit. Five Stars!

Great time at the Lake Cottage! The cottage is clean, fully stocked with amenities and so close to Lake Michigan and the beach. There were a few miles of beach to walk on this summer, and it made for a very relaxing stay. Games, bikes and kayaks at the cottage are very nice! Alan and Linda are the best hosts! Thank you!

Loved it all!

This was the perfect getaway spot for our small family of four's first vacation on our own. The cottage was cozy, clean, and very well-stocked. The sandy beach right in the backyard made each day relaxing and adventurous for the adults and our two young kids. We really loved our visit and hope to stay again!

Perfect Getaway

Alan and Linda are great hosts. The cottage is amazingly well kept. A great location for someone looking for a quiet getaway. Far enough away from real life but close enough to some fun activities. The view of the lake and a small fire in the fireplace was the relaxing experience I was looking for.

This is the perfect getaway! The hosts could not have been more accommodating or thoughtful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and more! The cottage was very clean and well cared for. The location is perfect for a quiet getaway. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, lakeside fires at night, beautiful sunrises in the morning and lots of time to kick back and relax. We enjoyed our stay so much, we hardly ever left the cottage except to go to dinner once and pick up a few items at the local Piggly Wiggly. We would highly recommend this cottage. Alan and Linda are perfect at hosting and so thoughtful in every little and big thing they did to make our stay perfect! We hope to be back again next year!
