Dishwasher did not work, hot water heater old and in need of repair as evidenced by hot water running out during shower and the tv was too old to stream anything. Internet was very slow as well. The house itself was fine and the location was good. Our biggest complaint centers around a repair man entering the premises while we were away without our knowledge or consent. When owner realized we had complained he was apologetic that I ‘felt’ this was an unsafe incident. Do yourself a favor and just book somewhere else.

Exceeded Our Expectations

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on Lake Michigan which is only a very short ditance from the cottage. We had quiet bonfires in the backyard fire pit. It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is beauriful. Very clean and well decorated. Our host, Erik, was great.

Fun Fall Getaway

My husband and I along with his brother and wife had a fun weekend at Erik’s place. His cabin is very clean and perfect location if you’re visiting the Silver Lake Dunes. We watched the sun set over Lake Michigan several evenings and it’s was absolutely beautiful! The cabin is in a very quiet neighborhood and perfectly located amongst Apple orchards and several vineyards. We loved the area and Erik was so nice and inviting! Great place to stay!

A Lovely Quiet Getaway

My family and I stayed for a weekend in the off season, and we had a very nice time. Erick is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the area, able to answer any questions you might have. The cottage is situated in a neighborhood, so it's ideal for those who want to have a quiet stay and aren't planning to get up to too much rowdiness. The neighborhood private beach access is just a short drive or brisk walk down the road, and we got there just in time to see a stunning Lake Michigan sunset. As the listing says, the bathroom is quite small, so it might be close quarters for a big group with lots of kids who all want to take showers etc., but if you're looking for a cozy and relaxing spot close to the lake, it's perfect.

Thanksgiving stay

Everything met or exceeded our expectations. Property manager was gracious, prompt with calls or texts. He also acknowledged the written instructions at the rental needed updating, they conflicted with the electronic instructions received. I/we will be back, hopefully to enjoy a summertime stay. 9.9 stars out of 10!

Perfect winter vacation

We had a wonderful time in this cozy and lovely decorated house. It was exactly what we needed and wanted for this time of the year. The fire place warmed up the whole house. The kitchen/dinning room/living room area is very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed every second of our stay. We loved the silence and nature around us, the walks to the lake and the sunsets. Erick is a very reliable contact person, who answered every question we had and did everything for us to feel comfortable. Thank you!

Cobmoosa Shores Retreat

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cobmoosa Shores Cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and spacious. My daughter loved the loft area. I loved the fireplace on cool evenings. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The beds were comfy and we slept well. The cottage was conveniently located to all our sightseeing destinations. Sunsets on the beach were amazing and the parking pass was a bonus on nights we were a little too tired to walk the 12-15 minutes to the lake. The host, Erick, is amazing. He was friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive to our needs. We will definitely stay again!
