Great Week!

Lovely location-Lake Michigan was roughly 100 yds away from the cottage. We could see the lake from the deck. The beach was quite private. We enjoyed watching the sunsets at the beach! The cottage was clean and comfortable! We really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful Week at Lake Michigan

This was our second year in a row renting this house for a week. The location and private beach is amazing! Beautiful sunsets and beach is so wonderful! The house comfortably slept our group of 4 adults and 5 kids, everything we needed to cook meals at the house. The wifi at the house worked well. We also loved getting ice cream and pizza from StonyLake Market and rented a boat at Silver Lake for a day. Great location to make lots of family memories!

Nice week at the beach!

The location of this property is amazing. It is a beachfront property with a 20 yard walk down a path to the top of the dune. Cottage is in a quiet neighborhood of vacation houses. It is very comfortable with good air conditioning which usually is not needed because the wind usually blows off Lake Michigan. There are a number of excellent golf courses within driving distance along with small summer-centric towns for restaurants, ice cream and walking.

Wonderful stay!

This was our second year at this property. We love it there. Communication with Kelly was easy and she responded quickly to all our messages. For the second year in a row the stairs to the lake were buried and that made it difficult for some of us to get up and down the dune. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Fabulous as always!

I can’t even remember how many times we’ve stayed at this property, we love coming here so much. The owner is a dream to work with, and all the stress of daily life disappears once you hear the waves and run down to the lovely beach. All the kitchen amenities are ready and waiting, and there is plenty of space for kids (in our case, all the teens) to hangout in the lower level and feel independent. Extra bonus for pet friendly accommodations, the beach is fantastic for including our pup in our family fun. Want to come back again and again and again.

A perfect Lake Michigan cottage

What a wonderful week we had. So wonderful that we’ve booked for next year! The cottage is perfect, kept in very good shape with many amenities (ie AC). Comfortable beds and well supplied kitchen. Plenty of room for our family of five. Our host, Kelly, was very accessible and easy to communicate with. You can tell she loves the cottage and is gracious with guests. The Shelby, Whitehall, Montague area is typical up north: mellow and beautiful with lots of produce and convenient casual restaurants. We can’t wait till next year.

Gorgeous Slice of Heaven

We had a wonderful time. The house was well stocked, clean, comfortable and fit 7 of us perfectly. The kids (teens) enjoyed having the lower level all to themselves. The lake is truly magical, sunsets breathtaking, and what a treat to just walk to the lake right from the back patio. We rented paddleboards and spent so much time on the lake playing every day. You wont be sorry booking this beautiful place!

Wonderful!

Our group of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids ages 8-15) had a blast! We loved the beach access and spent most days enjoying the quiet, sandy, beach with wonderful waves. The house is well equipped with beach chairs, towels, sand toys. The beach is truly AMAZING and was just outside the house and was clean and relatively private. The house was clean and well equipped, we cooked several meals there. The house was comfortable and perfect for 2 families. The adults enjoyed playing games and the view of the lake, while all the tweens enjoyed the basement and foosball/air hockey. None of the tweens complained about the wifi so it must have been great. No cell signal outside of the house, but worked great at the house. We also enjoyed the dune rides, and rented a boat on white lake, and enjoyed little sable lighthouse, and local mini-golf. The Farmhouse Kitchen and Market was delish for dinner! Our only recommendation would be to consider bringing your own pillows or a mattress topper. Lovely week! Would definitely rent again!

Spectacular!

Kelly was so easy to communicate with and answered every question I had right away! The cottage was extremely well appointed and we lacked for nothing. Even though we didn't have "beach weather" much of the week, that hardly mattered. When we could, we spent hours on the beach. We all agreed that this was the best cottage we have ever stayed at.

Beauty on the Beach!

Almost any accommodation right on Lake Michigan has strong points, but this cottage hits all the high points. Roomy, very good looking and comfortable, even AC! Easy to get to a premier, deserted beach. Our host, Kelly, was amazingly responsive and kind. I enjoyed feeling like I knew her. Thank you, Kelly!

Amazing family vacation!

We had an amazing week at beauty and the beach! The house was cleaned so well when we arrived and the kitchen had everything that we needed. The beach was incredible and the weather was wonderful all week. We were able to have family dinners every night with ample seating. My family has visited Michigan many times and this year we were able to introduce new people and having this house enhanced their first experience on Lake Michigan. Overall, it’s a trip we will remember forever!

Perfect Lake Michigan Stay

This was the perfect location for our two families (4 adults, 5 kids). Adults used the two bedrooms upstairs and the kids had free range over the downstairs. Plenty of room inside and out for everyone to sit with about five beach chairs provided. We prepared nearly all our meals at the house and found the kitchen to be very well stocked. The real star of the property is the super short walk to a big, beautiful beach with very few other people where we enjoyed daily swims, evening beach bonfires (two community fire pits are only a few houses down) and amazing sunsets. Although you are in a somewhat secluded location, we enjoyed all the Silver Lake attractions (Mac Dunes, Little Sable Lighthouse, etc) only 15 minutes away and were also able to rent a pontoon on nearby White Lake (30 minutes away) for the day to take the kids tubing. Check in and out were a breeze and Kelly was an excellent communicator. We would absolutely stay here again!

Fabulous Lake Michigan Vacation

Loved the laid back vibe of this cute cottage. A bit quirky, tons charming, we loved it. The house was very well appointed for a vacation stay. Stocked with absolutely everything we needed. Then the beach - oh my!!! Walk out your back door and in 30 seconds you are on the most beautiful beach!! Lots of sand, weed-free wading and swimming, not many people sharing your space. It was just the best vacation!!! We will be back.

Great time, our child's first visit to the beach!

We had a wonderful time, plenty of space for the 5 to 6 of us. The rooms were very clean, kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. Great view of Lake Michigan from the main floor. Basement is a kids play place! Foosball, air hockey, and TV. The beach was sandy and just a short walk. Many memories were made.

Wonderful Stay

The home is very clean and looked just like the pictures. The kitchen is well stocked. The owners are prompt in replying to questions. The views of Lake Michigan are spectacular! The home is close to farm tours, pontoon boat rentals and dune buggy rides on the sand dunes. Only negative is that the bed mattress in the basement is saggy for two people. The bed is fine of only one person uses the bed. Would definitely rent again!

Most amazing stay!!!

We stayed at the house for my daughter's wedding at Heritage Wedding Barn, excellant location, 12 minutes away, only 10 minutes from the dunes, excellant view of Lake Michigan. Nicely stocked with sheets, blankets, towels, pot, pans, dishes and any utensil you may need, we brought our own things just in case and never opened our boxes, My grandkids came for Sunday after the wedding, lots of toys and games to enterain all ages.
