Cute little cottage that is everything they said it was. 3 bedrooms, on the lake, kitchen to cook and stairs to the lake. Not the newest on the lake, but oozes charm and warmth. Mattresses were comfortable and we would stay again.

The best hosts ever! When we arrived the power was out all over the area due to bad weather. The hosts graciously moved us to another one of their properties, Property # 2196700, that was beautiful. After 12 inches of snow our second day at the property the hosts plowed the driveway so we could leave the next day. The property is right on Lake Michigan. Gorgeous sunsets! The house is immaculate and updated. We highly recommend the property and the hosts!

Quick get away with teen daughters

This was a perfect location for our family. My husband and I were so excited for the bike trail right outside. Our daughters loved the beach. The view from the deck is incredible. I could have sat outside all day and watched the water. The rooms were perfect. The communication was great and check in and out were a breeze.

Wonderful lakeside beach house.

This property was clean, comfortable, cozy and charming tucked into a wooded area with a private stairway down to the shore of Lake Michigan to a private beach. The view of Lake Michigan from the house was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and bright. There were plenty of places to sit inside and outside and enjoy the view.

Great location and awesome beach

The location and lakefront on this property is fantastic. The inside is fine - not luxurious but completely functional and it's not likely you're staying in a place overlooking lake Michigan to be inside. It was clean when we got there which is impressive because of all the sand that's around. Deck is great for relaxing. Would recommend

Perfect Lake Michigan Cabin

Beautiful views of Lake Michigan from kitchen and living room windows. Cabin was old but beds were comfortable and all basic amenities were updated recently. Great great away for four adults. Beach was perfect! Stairs were steep and old, but well worth it to have access to the lake. Highly recommend and our group would definitely return!

The view was wonderful but ...It was very complicated to figure out how to get the internet and TV to work, but the host came out quickly and fixed it.Garbage bins were overflowing but again after contacting the host she came out and fixed that also.Overpowering cat smell around the exterior of the house.It was frustrating that there was no complimentary coffee, dish soap, beach chairs, or beach towels.Little things like having bedside lamps and a well stocked kitchen would have made our stay more pleasant.Again, great location and views of Lake Michigan!

We appreciate when guest let us know if an an issue arises we quickly respond. As far as trash service we had a holiday and so trash pickup was moved back. There is dishsoap in the kitchen hand soaps in the bathrooms and chairs for the deck as in the listing. All soaps and bathroom supplies are checked by the service and pictures were taken to verify that they are there and in proper quanity. It is in our listing we do not provide beach chairs and beach towels. Only those for bathing are provided as in the listing. The wifi password is posted above the tv and in the kitchen on a large boards. Tv remote is one button on to turn on. All bedrooms have lighting and side tables. The cleaning service cleans both outside and in and it is checked by a third party. The cottage is checked and verified with a checklist and pictures after each and every clean.

Love the cabin and the spot on Lake Michigan was gorgeous!

The property was peaceful and relaxing. The views of Lake Michigan were outstanding. Only cons were the broken stairs at the bottom leading to the beach need repair and the mattresses need to be replaced. If those things were fixed we would be back again and again!

The entire property is in a state of disrepair. From the moment you walk in, you’ll instantly notice any of the many issues with this place: the peeling wallpaper, the bugs and spiders, dirty carpet, gum on blankets, the smell… this was extremely misleading and unpleasant to stay in. I am extremely disappointed in the rental and how it completely took away from our ability to have a relaxing vacation weekend.

I am surprised and shocked as no communication was made about any problems or concerns. I have had 5 stars from all my guests. Cottage was cleaned and rechecked, all bedding is washed between guests. I have pictures for all areas of house, carpets, beds, bath, Livingroom and kitchen that all was cleaned and in order before guest check in.

The location on the beach was great. The cottage had a nice wide sandy CLEAN beach. Having the beach chairs supplied was wonderful. Lots of toys for sand castles. The cottage itself was clean, thanks for the throws in the living room. The upstairs bathroom was tiny - the sink was tiny and the shower - no fatties can use it! The downstairs bathroom shower was beautiful! But the sink is in the laundry room. Lots of towels and having a washer/dryer at the beach was perfect. The a/c is a necessity with the humid summer we had. All in all, it’s clean, functional and the price was at a good price point. The stairs are steep to the beach - hold onto the handrail! The views from inside and on the deck were spectacular! The owner was very responsive with questions and bringing a few items we needed. I would stay there again.

Swim, Bike, Eat, Relax on the Deck, No Crowds

This place was exactly as advertised = no crowds, lots to do. We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing views, swam on what was basically a private beach, and hit the bike trails that pass only about 100 yards away. Each night we enjoyed grilling and playing games on the deck, until we watched some breathtaking sunsets. We also found multiple great restaurants just minutes away. We hope to definitely stay here again. The owners answered any questions we had within minutes & we also recommend their fresh blueberries & local restaurant tips. THANKS!

Million Dollar View

This is the place for you if you want a cozy, clean, historic cottage with million dollar views and direct access to Lake Michigan. As a historic cottage it is not luxurious or perfect, but IS comfortable and cool. We had several quirky little things come up, but the owner responded quickly and resolved promptly. As we had mild spring weather while there, we did not need to use either heat or A/C. The cottage is nicely furnished but the livingroom sofa cushions tend to sink when seated there. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining area is large enough for a crowd to gather. Overall, this is a cool, comfortable, and reasonably priced lakefront property with million dollar views! We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Great beach vacation

Our family stayed at this cabin during one of the last weekends of the summer and had a great time. The beach area associated with the cabin is ideal because it's shallow going out to a good distance out and nice, fine sand. We stayed during one of the last weekends of the summer and other public beaches were jammed packed. The cabin is as advertised and 'historic', but you can tell that the owners are trying to upgrade portions of it (kitchen appliances, basement bathroom). If we weren't on the beach, we were sitting on the deck just enjoying the view that all of the neighboring multi-million dollar mansions have next to you. I searched up and down the Lake Michigan coast to find something affordable and this was the only option I could come up with that was right on the shore. You're also about 10 minutes out from Holland. Would definitely come back and stay here.
