Holiday Getaway

Camp Wanderlust was perfect for our stay. Loved that it was right off the highway. Made it easy to get to various places. Really liked that the bedrooms and family room are on opposite sides of the house. Plenty of room for five adults and our dogs. The house has everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed our stay.

Great getaway!

We enjoyed the home and walkability to the cute town of Union Pier. We ate donuts from Black Currant Bakery, enjoyed BBQ at Red Arrow, and visited Round Barn and Tabor Hill in Baroda, finishing with a tour and dinner at the Journeyman Distillery. It was a wonderful weekend.

Fantastic friends getaway

This was our 6th stay at Camp Wanderlust and it continues to be one of my favorite getaways of all time. It's the perfect property for a group of friends or family. It's spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need for cooking and for fun. We especially loved the wood burning stove on a cold winter night. The location is perfect with easy access to New Buffalo, Union Pier, and other SW Michigan towns. We especially love that it's an easy walk to wine tasting! Communication with the hosts was easy and they made check-in a breeze. We're already looking at the calendar to return this fall!

Everything we were looking for!

Our family had a great stay at Wanderlust cottage. The house had everything we needed and the hosts provided a welcoming and warm environment. There was plenty of room for playing board games and we loved the fire pit and outdoor seating. The kitchen had everything we needed, although we did not cook much because of all the great restaurants in the area. Thanks for making our end of the summer get away so enjoyable!

Excellent Fall Weekend with Friends

This is our fifth visit to Camp Wanderlust - we come from Grand Rapids and meet friends from Chicago so it is the perfect meeting place! We loved using the kitchen and amenities to make our meals and always feel welcome to use the space like our own. It feels like to us and our dogs who join us. Keith and Debbie are great hosts and provide information on the area as well as entertainment such as books and DVDs. This weekend was too warm for the wood stove so we enjoyed the nearby beaches and sat on their comfortable patio. We look forward to coming again this winter for a cozy weekend!

Cute Property with lovely additions

We had a great time. Thank you to the property owner for letting us use their games and water toys. The house is a cute updated house with lots of extras for both kids and adults. We didn’t get to use the yard because of rain, but it’s a really nice yard. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. We only had trouble with the door because of user error, it’s simple when you get the hang of it.
