About this property

100% Ceramic tile, super sanitized, pet friendly, golf cart ride to beach.


We are super sanitized and using UV sanitation between visitors.

Just 30 minutes from Notre Dame

Located central to everything 1/4 mile from Lake Michigan, 5 minutes from Four Winds Casino, Blue Chip Casino and two golf courses and the Lighthouse place outlet mall.

The best beaches are the Michigan City beach and the New Buffalo beach both are about a 5 minute drive with lots of sand and sun,

Rental supplied with 2 passenger golf cart, but you can upgrade to 4 passenger or even 6-8 passenger limo golf cart for an additional fee, just contact us for details. The driver of the golf cart must be 21 or over and a licensed driver. Home is turn key, with everything we could think of that you might need: 100+ DVDs, condiments, pots, pans, BBQ supplies, doggie treats, smores supplies, firewood, games, laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, bongo drums (kidding on that one), card games, good books, cooking oil and spices, beach towels and more.

Just bring the food and the beverage of choice and enjoy the Cozy Cottage.

House has a large living room with big screen TV and a full DVD library to choose from. Excellent kitchen, whirlpool bathtub, full laundry, and a bar area.

Large rear deck with grill for outdoor enjoyment. Fire pit and fully fenced back yard (60ft x 45ft)

Location is in the middle of everything. 5 miles from Four Winds Casino, Blue Chip Casino, New Buffalo an Michigan City. We are on a highway and you can hear cars in the front of the house but the sleeping area in the back is very quiet. Amtrak operates a 100 mph train a few times a day and you will know when it is coming, thankfully they do not run late at night with the last train about 10 PM Michigan time.

The lake level is high this year so the beaches have been reduced but we are 10 minutes from both New Buffalo and Michigan City beaches.

I would stress with one word what you will find in our cottage 'Sanitized'.

We clean this unit ourselves and do not use a service, everything is laundered and bleached, floors are 100% ceramic with throw rugs and you will find the entire home immaculate, I'm sure. You will never find any sign of a pet and we use ozone generators between guests and UV sanitation.

Charming backyard

Overall just what we were looking. Great back yard, yes everything you could need and friendly owners. Ask owners where to park. We hoped to use the golf cart but the summer hours on the beach for dogs wasn’t convenient.

Totally enjoyed the stay!!

This is a little surprise jewel of a property! It is definitely, as advertised, a cozy cottage and they are NOT kidding that you only have to bring yourselves - everything you could think of and more is supplied and waiting for for you. The location is convenient to so many adventures and their beach is perfect and super close. Being pet friendly was a plus for us and the fenced yard was also perfect. Definitely recommend to anyone! They have a few surprises for you, too - book to find out!

Great location!

My husband, our 1.5 yr old and our two small dogs enjoyed a long weekend at this property. The backyard was wonderful and the ability to go between Michigan city and New Buffalo was great! The golf cart was truly a perfect touch that makes this place a must stay! One note for those traveling with children, the second bedroom is also the doorway to the backyard. The internet/tv did not work for the duration of the trip, but tons of DVDs were provided. Overall a great place to stay!

Super Cute Cottage

Our family and puppy spent a cozy weekend at the cottage. We had a great time and were very comfortable. It was perfectly appointed and a short golf cart ride to the beach. We especially loved cooking s’mores around the campfire and having a fully fenced in yard for our pup!

Very homey

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very comfortable & had everything we needed, except the internet would disconnect frequently. The golf cart was a great perk for getting around & appreciated the recommendation of the Hesston Steam Museum, which was a lot of fun for the kids & adults.

Grand Beach

This house was perfect for us. The location was great, easy access to everything you want and need for a beach vacation. Everything EXTRA that you usually have to bring on vacation was already there, grilling supplies, spices, towels, extra pillows, everything. We recommend this place to everyone. You will not have any regrets.

Really great place to stay!

We loved this house! Cute on the outside and everything you need inside. The house was spotless. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed to cook with...Washer/dryer with detergent and softener. Plenty of bath towels in the bathroom. The shower had amazing water pressure 👍 The deck on the back of the house is lovely and there is a fire pit. The owner, Ed was full of information on what to see and where to eat. Extras, you get a free golf cart for the duration of your stay! Highly recommended!

July summer getaway

The beds were very comfortable. Nice to have a golf cart to go to the beach. Very clean. Probably the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in. Sad the dishwasher was "on strike." However, paper plates and cutlery were provided. Bedroom TV did not work in unfortunately. Host were very prompt at responding to any questions we had. Thanks!

This place is just as described with literally everything you need

We enjoyed being part way between New Buffalo and Michigan City and having access to Grand Beach was really a nice feature with the use of a golf cart that was provided. Erica and Ed responded quickly to all of our requests. As I mentioned, everything was in the house as noted in the online info. We weren't always clever enough to find it right away, but a quick text or call always pointed us in the right direction. I would definitely stay here again.

Fall get away weekend

We stayed at the Cozy Cottage for a long weekend to see the fall colors. The place was spotless and the owners thought of everything for amenities. It’s on a busy road but don’t hear car traffic in the back of the cabin. Great backyard that our dogs enjoyed

Great property, great location

Our first time using VRBO and we found this great place. Loved the fact that they have the video posted to really give you the best idea of the accommodations. Things were just as presented. Great property in a great location -- close to do things in Michigan City, New Buffalo, Union Pier, the Dunes, etc. Very much enjoyed our stay as well as that the property is pet friendly!

Well stocked and clean

House was spotless and stocked with anything you’d need. Our two small dogs loved running around the backyard. One of our dogs tends to be a little skittish and we commented that we had not seen her that relaxed in a while! We had our parents stay for a night and having the golf cart was perfect for visiting the beach. The owners were very easy to work with and you could tell a lot of thought went into making it as comfortable as possible. It was perfect for our group and would definitely recommend!
