This place was great. It was so quiet and tucked in the woods. Out of the way but not far from things we wanted to do. It was also by far the cleanest place I have ever stayed in which is a huge plus. I will hopefully be able to stay there again

We had a wonderful stay at the charming Sandalwood cottage! It was cozy, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Every detail, from the decor to the little touches throughout the property, was absolutely perfect and made the space feel warm and inviting! The owner, Amy, is very kind and welcoming!We would happily stay here again. We highly recommend this beautiful cottage!

Property was clean and comfortable. Technically it is near the lake, however it is private property between the house and the lake so one must walk 10 minutes around to get there.

The place was so clean and decorated beautifully. It is located on a private road and is very quiet. The beds and furniture were extremely comfortable. We got up just before sunrise and went to the end of the lane to watch sun come up, it was breathtakingThe hosts were great and responed quickly to any questions. We will definitely go there again.

This truly was a home away from home! The owners took impeccable care of their home on the inside and outside! Everything was just beautiful, comfortable and thoughtful! The owners were very generous to supply toiletries, coffee, tea, popcorn and more, just to name a few extras!!My daughter, granddaughters and I chose to spend time at the beach from Koehler park, but there was a map at the house with directions to beaches closer to the home. We enjoyed our time at the beach, and at the home. We played in the back yard and played games that were offered in the house! The beds were very comfortable and the home is in a very beautiful, peaceful setting. Thank you for the great stay!

Nice getaway from the city with friendly and helpful hosts. We enjoyed a cold February weekend by the fire, with great dining in nearby Sheboygan. The proximity to the lake would be perfect in warmer weather. Highly recommend!

The cottage was really great. Clean, roomy, well-decorated with all the amenities we needed. We had a very pleasant stay and I thought the cottage had a lot to offer. There were only the two of us but the cottage was very roomy, and could have easily served a larger group. There were 2 bedrooms, and plenty of living space.We will definitely be coming back for another stay sometime soon!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Sue DeVrou

Host profile image
My husband, Wayne, and I moved here in 2004 with our four children. He is a local Pastor at Grace Bible Fellowship in Oostburg. Our roots come from Southwest Michigan in a small town called Jenison. Our kids are all grown up, married with children and now was the perfect time for us to invest in a place where we can share our hospitality and love for people.

Sandalwood, is on the southside of our home. There are no other neighbors adjacent to the cottage. We always had hopes to one day own and renovate it for the purpose of turning it into a place where guests can rest, relax and unwind. With that in mind we have designed the property for our guests to immerse in the natural setting that Sandalwood has to offer.

We enjoy the quiet setting and the space our ten acre lot offers. It is a perfect place to enjoy being close to the lake and also take in the wooded setting that brings wildlife to our back door.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is on a private drive 300ft from Lake Michigan. Wildlife is abundant in any given season. Wooded lot. Most neighbors are seasonal. No neighbors to the south and we are to the north separated by the woods. The sounds of nature make this an attractive place to visit. From the winds to the waves to the chirping birds to the hooting of owls. Sandalwood is a place like no other.

What makes this property unique

Owners live north of the property. We are close to the City of Sheboygan, Kohler, Milwaukee and and hour away from Green Bay to catch a momentous NFL game at historical Lambeau Field. All of these cities have attractions to many to count.

Sandalwoods Lake Access Points:
The access points below have minimal beach to sit and enjoy the view, but you will be able to walk on the beach from the North access point which will take you all the way to Kohler Andrae State Park if you are feeling ambitious. You can certainly swim in the lake from our access points:

Going South on Cardinal Lane: Once you see a paved cross street called Foster Rd, it will be at the end of that road, which dead ends to the lake. If you take your car down by the access, parking is permissible on the North side of the road, facing West.

Going North on Cardinal Lane: Once you see a paved cross street called Townline Rd, it will be at the end of that road, which dead ends to the lake. This access, on a calm day, walking North, will lead you to Kohler Andrae State Park.

As an alternative, I would recommend Kohler Andrae State Park as an option for your beach experience. It is about a 5-minute drive from Sandalwood. There are available brochures about the park in the magazine rack by the dining table.

This information is subject to change as the lake water level goes down.
