Great vacation

This house in the woods was a much needed time to unplug and just rest. On the main floor, the surrounding woods are visible from many windows. I enjoyed my coffee each morning on the screened porch and watched the squirrels. The walk to a private Lake Michigan beach was 10 minutes, but you can also drive there. We visited Saugatuck, South Haven, Holland and Douglas while there and a Saturday farmers' market in South Haven. We kayaked, hiked, swam, sunbathed, read a book, ate good food. Two nights we had a campfire in a nice fire pit and ate s'mores. One night we were delighted to hear a barred owl's call right above us! Many deer to see. Our dog stayed and enjoyed the water and hikes. It was a nice week to spend with family. Mary communicated well and quickly. Thanks for a great week, Mary!

Summer stay in cottage

Peaceful, quiet, beautiful spot in the woods, nearby (walking distance) neighborhood beach. We enjoyed many of the local beaches too, some good breweries, mini golf in sagautuck. Cottage was very well stocked, appreciated the extra linens, use of beach chairs and grill supplies and the bonfire. Owner very quick to respond and lots of good info.

Lovely cottage in the woods!

The woods around the cottage were relaxing and the 1/2 mile walk to the beach through the friendly and beautifully wooded neighborhood was a treat!
