Rejuvenated!

We've stayed before and have touched on the wonderful details. This trip for us was needed and rejuvenated us. In addition to the owners being the most generous people who truly care, we needed the ambiance of the cottage. If you are familiar with "mindfulness" you have what you need. The smell of the coffee, the waves crashing the beach, the wind whistling thru the trees, the warm fire and extra food treats all allow you to relax and spend undistracted time together. We are so truly thankful to get away from everyday life and just "be"...

Amazing

We loved it here! First off the hosts were amazing. The property is absolutely beautiful! We saw a herd of deer, a fox den, heard a fox, found some cool rocks, looked at the stars and really enjoyed our time. This is one of our favorite places we have stayed and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for being the best hosts ever! Also the arcade games were so fun we ended up buying one!

Perfect New Year's Getaway

It felt like a home - it was well stocked to meet all our needs. Lots of helpful notes in the house with ideas of things to do. The location is fantastic right on the lake and with easy access to the school forest.

Highly recommend this beautiful getaway!!

We can’t even begin to say how much we enjoyed our relaxing stay at this beautiful property. It was so nice from start to finish. The hosts were extremely fast and helpful with communication. They offered us to check in early and check out late. The view of Lake Michigan through the pine trees was amazing. The sound of the waves, the lovely beach. Nice trails. The property was well maintained and very clean. All of the amenities were such an extra as well. Snacks, beverages, and even a birthday dessert for my husband. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace, outdoor propane fire, and even played video games and rode the bikes We plan to visit again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Russ Minaker

Why they chose this property

This is a original cottage that was abandoned in a pine forest for years. As a family project it took 10 years to fully rebuild the entire place back to a beautiful cottage overlooking Lake Michigan. It is hunkered down near the water in a large forest area with a safe 400 foot blacktop driveway. It is a peaceful couple's retreat where time has no meaning and relaxing and decompressing is found on the beautiful property that is away from all city noise, neighbors on the quiet estate.

What makes this property unique

The property features a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, with walking trails that go down the beach. The estate is located inside the Raur West School Forest and boasts up to 10 miles of walking trails right from the front yard! the trails take you through sand dunes, a large natural spring pond, and a 300 foot wooden boardwalk are just some of the exciting things to see on your travels. The cottage is well stocked with supplies, has a large wine table and opener, so just relax and take in your quiet surroundings and enjoy the great outdoors!
