Texas Twosome

We really enjoyed our visit to Michigan. The property is beautiful! The cabin is very clean, fully stocked and comfortable. It's secluded with lots of privacy, but also a short drive to restaurants, shopping, etc. Plus, the beach is right across the street.

Beautiful Location, Great Experience

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The location across from a public beach was ideal and yet the cottage felt secluded & private up on a hill & surrounded by trees. The decks provided great outdoor gathering spaces & the inside was comfortable with plenty of space. The decor showcasing local artists was a nice touch. The kitchen was well equipped & had everything we needed to cook meals all weekend. Beds were comfortable & there were plenty of linens. Would love to stay here again!

Great get away for a few days

My 11 year old daughter, our two dogs, and myself were quite happy here with proximity of two beaches and spectacular view of Lake Michigan from the top of the bluff. I wish we could have had it for a week, but someone snagged it before we could. Coloma has a quaint downtown and 11 miles north off St. Joseph. I think we will be going back. Thank you Wanda and Brett.

Beautiful views of Lake Michigan

We had a great time at this property. The cottage is very modernized, and the wifi worked wonderfully. It was a great size for our family of 3 and our labradoodle. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous! It is a bit further in the woods than we realized. Remember to bring insect repellent if you stay here!

Good location between South Haven and Benton Harbor

Lots of privacy. Loved grilling out and watching the beautiful sunsets. House was clean and supplied with all the comforts of home. Didn’t use the fire pit or fireplace, but both were nice options for cold nights. Thanks Wanda for sharing your home!

Amazing! Will book again!

This property was beautiful and safely secluded. It was a convenient distance right in between St. Joseph and South Haven. The view of the lake from the front porch was perfect to start and end each day. We also enjoyed a bonfire with s'mores one night as well! The house has such a neat set up with everything you could possibly need! I have nothing but good things to say about this property, and I am hoping to take my family back to this same property in the future.

Perfect Winter Lake Getaway

Lovely, comfortable cottage, just as pictured and described. Beautiful view of Lake Michigan. Lots of parks and beach walking as well as lighthouse viewing opportunities. House was well prepared for visitors, including outdoor seating and fire pit. Beds very comfortable and spa tub very relaxing. Great location for our first visit to southwest Michigan. Took day trips to see St Joseph, South Haven, Saugatuck and Holland. Wonderful restaurants. Overall fabulous trip. We will be back!

Family Vacation

Very clean, well appointed home. Perfect for our family of four and little dog. Lovely beach across the road. Spent time in Saugatuck, South Haven, St. Joseph. House is a nice location to get to all. Plus vineyards around. Watched the sunset from the deck and down at the beach. Wanda was excellent in communication and help. We all enjoyed ourselves and felt right at home.

Nice getaway across from the beach

This is a lovely property and it's right across from the beach. We brought our little dog and it was very comfortably set up. Wooded property felt like a retreat, you can hear the highway when outside, but it became background noise pretty quickly, the birds and squirrels were lovely to listen to. View of the lake is very nice. Close enough to St. Joes/Benton Harbor and Coloma with grocery stores, wineries and restaurants nearby. Loved the multiple decks. The place was very clean. We enjoyed our stay. Wifi was stable and we both worked while there.

Secluded fun

We loved being across a quiet highway RIGHT next to beach access. Sunsets and hanging by lake during evening was lovely. Hard to pull us away from the porch where we read and listened to music during the day. Pet friendly amenities including doggy dishes if you needed them. Clearly had made investments into home and property. We loved it! You will travel a bit for groceries but we wanted to get away which was the point and perfect for us! Easy peasy happy campers!

Summer Vacation

This spot perfectly suited our needs. It's close to the beach (small public beach across the street from the end of the driveway) as well as close proximity to St. Joseph and South Haven. Also house is perfect for our dog that we brought to the beach several times daily. The house is so clean and everything is new. Beds are very comfortable and the sunsets from the deck are incredible. We had a great time around the fire pit nightly as well. Wanda is great and really on top of everything. We will be back.

A cute getaway

We rented in Oct 2022 and had a great time. The cabin is clean and modern, with all the right decorative accents to make it feel homey. It is adjacent to a local highway, but raised above it on a bluff so that there is little road noise. Also, despite the worries of other reviewers, the highway was not busy: we had no problems crossing it with our two small dogs to get to the beach directly across from the cabin. The property is very centrally located which allowed us to spend time exploring both the New Buffalo / Three Oaks and the Saugatuck / Fennville areas. And don’t miss Benton Harbor / St. Joseph, we highly recommend Houndstooth. We very much enjoyed the property, and would return.

About the host

Hosted by wanda

Host profile image
We are Michigan vacationers for over 10 years. We rented homes and brought our pets with us each year to the lake. The home we regularly booked was suddenly unavailable and we were crushed. We turned the event in to a positive and searched for a home to share with families who desire to bring their pets them with on vacation. We are hoping that you enjoy being our guests and have a wonderful trip with little thought to your accommodations.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, walk to the beach, close to attractions and reasonably priced.
