Great Place, Responsive Owners

The cottage was a great place for my wife and I to celebrate our 8th anniversary. The owners were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had throughout the stay, and they even provided a complimentary bottle of wine, which was a nice touch.

A lovely setting

We truly enjoyed a quiet stay in the trees in this cottage. It is just as shown and described and we did see deer in the evening, as advertised. The hosts were quite helpful and the location made this a very private and enjoyable time. We highly recommend giving this one a try if you are coming into the area.

Just needed a weekend getaway and our kids always loved their trips to New Buffalo. We found Peter and Mila's cottage and it was perfect for our planned getaway. Spent 3 days exploring New Buffalo, Three Oaks and Union Pier. Loved it all!

Travel sports tournament

My son had a tournament nearby, and this house was so much better than staying at a hotel. Quiet and secluded, it was just what we needed. Our host was an excellent communicator. Having laundry on site was a huge bonus.

Charming cottage with modern amenities

This was our second stay here and we enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time. It is very close to friends and family and makes a perfect base for breakfast and sleeping. We rode the tandem bike down some quiet country roads and had a good time. We'll be back.

Cozy space. We enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed, nothing we didn’t. Appreciated the bottle of wine, towels, cleanliness, and comfort of the property. It is a quiet location as described in the listing. Enjoy the peace, deer and pleasant hum of the trains that roll through in the distance. It’s a perfect homebase for exploring Harbert and the area around. A really short drive (or bike) to Cherry Beach!

Our apologies to you. Once you submitted a change of payment request, your reservation was questionable. We did, however, offer you an extra night for the 75 minute delay in entry.

Bestie retreat

We enjoyed having this cozy cottage to come home to after a day at the beach, antiquing and wine tasting. It’s the perfect size for 2-4 people and has all the comforts of home. We enjoyed watching the yearlings dancing/playing in the yard. VERY close to Warren Dunes, Wine Trail and antique shops.

Much Needed Get-Away

Quiet and peaceful! 2 deer came to visit on our first night. Beach, 3 mins away, was a nice ending to the day. On Day 2, we took the hour drive to Saugatuck and enjoyed lunch. The cottage provided everything we needed for a refresh!

Cute little cottage. Mosquitoes were bad but it's very green and peaceful. A little much with the plug in air fresheners- triggered my asthma. Kitchen well equipped.

Cozy place

Property was as described in listing. Easy location to get to and from all the area spots we wanted to visit. Only draw back was we were startled awake by a freight train at 3am one night of our stay. I don’t think that’s a common occurrence though. Also, we encountered some spiderwebs upon entering the cottage. All in all I would recommend this cottage as a great base camp to visit the area. A big bonus was the Swedish bakery just down the road!
