Lovely Esacape

A lovely Fall escape in Harbor Country. This property is so relaxing! Even though the weather was cool, there was plenty to do. And the best shops, restaurants and markets are all within a short drive. I highly recommend.

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay at Carl's Cottage! The private beach front is lovely, accessible by a short walk through the woods and down a short (less than 10) set of steps. The linens are fabulous, wonderful pillows, mattresses are firm by not uncomfortable. Plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out. There are no pantry items (spices etc) provided most likely due to covid-19. The home was spotless, I only rated the cleanliness a 3 because we experienced an overpowering odor upon arriving that belonged to a dead chipmunk behind the washing machine in the laundry room. After that was removed, the odor cleared quickly. Hopefully, housekeeping will be checking for this prior to other guests arrivals :). Communication with the property manager was responsive and prompt. I highly recommend this property!!

The gem of Southwest Michigan

This beautiful property is an absolute oasis. We enjoyed the private beach frontage with an easy walk out. Most of our time was spent at the beach or walking over to the dunes since Warren Dunes State Park is right next door (literally!). At the house, the back porch has a beautiful view of the Lake, which is framed almost artistically by gorgeous trees. Everything was stocked beyond our expectations. The home was super clean and the extra effort to follow COVID cleaning guidelines was fabulous. You and your family will absolutely enjoy this. We had our 3-year-old and 1-year-old with us and they LOVED it.

Beautiful and secluded

Such a beautiful home with everything you need. Grill, coffee machine, ample amount of bowls and other serve ware. The private beach is a huge plus and there is the cutest fruit stand off the highway nearby!
