Great family getaway

This cottage was the perfect size for our family of seven. The kitchen was perfect for meals and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the dvd selection and the kids loved the swing in the backyard. Loved how close we were to the beach!

Cozy Cottage

Very nice place, clean and comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. The owner had a binder with really good suggestions on restaurants and local places to visit which was very helpful. Thanks again!

Family Gathering

We had a large family gathering near the cottage where my wife and her siblings grew up. Each family stayed in different cottages and ours was this one. As advertised it is a vintage cottage as well cared for if quirky for the various updates through its history. We enjoyed our stay and our host, finding the kitchen and bedrooms quite adequate for our needs. Our children’s families join us for it cookout and we enjoyed the grill picnic facilities and would’ve done the fire ring. Had it been later. This is a wonderful modest cottage for those interested in being near Warren dunes State Park. The beach is about a half mile and easy walk and they have a couple of bikes in the basement.

If you want warm comfort, great outdoor firepit, easy-cooking kitchen, two! porches, stay here!,

Just what we needed for three women getting together for catch-up time -- hikes, beach, and right environment for long talks. Will and Natalia's place has evidence of their care everywhere -- small touches that just make you feel at home. Fast response for any small glitches or questions. A super helpful guestbook that walks you through details. Very safe feeling, great privacy without being out in the middle of no-where. Beautiful backyard, with an incredible variety of birds -- be sure to put some water in the cement bird-waterer out back and they will come flying right to it for you to enjoy while sipping coffee off the back porch. And smelling the lilacs. I know we'll be returning.

Great house! We had a campfire, went to Warren Woods, walked out to Warren Dunes bc of the cut through path, thrifted, and stopped at Out There. It was the perfect fall getaway!

The cabin was wonderful. Rustic & cozy. Very private. Large back yard. I think we had a campfire every night. Wildlife are plentiful. Fall colors just starting & beautiful weather. Just a short walk to the beach & lake. We enjoyed our time in as much as we enjoyed exploring the area.

Wonderful little cottage - perfect for our family. Quiet neighborhood; beautiful yard with fire pit; deer and wild turkeys in the backyard daily.The house was clean and had everything we could have possibly needed. William responded promptly when we were having difficulty getting the door unlocked initially and was able to solve the problem immediately. He checked in during the week to make sure we had every we needed. The property was very close to Warren Dunes State Park and the beach. We loved the location and how easy it was to get to the beach. Highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back soon!

Our family truly enjoyed this property. It is very well equipped and has everything you need for a wonderful beach holiday. Will is an excellent host and very quick to respond with answers if you need him. The yard is a really beautiful spot to relax and rest after adventures in the state park. And the walk isn’t bad at all! The outside shower is a game changer! Especially for kids, this was an awesome way to keep the house clean by getting everyone clean before heading to bed. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice cottage with plenty of space. Also very nice backyard and firepit. Saw lots of deer in back. Kitchen was fine and well stocked with neccessities. Check-in process was easy. The only negative was the mattress on the bed in the bedroom off the kitchen. Needs replacing. Also, the bricks around the firepit were loose and a tripping hazard we thought. Should be removed and replaced with stones or something else. Very quiet neighborhood. Would stay again.

This cottage is fantastic. You are able to walk to the Dunes if you choose to do so, or make a short bike ride to the beach. Everything that you might forget seems to be provided at this property. It comes with a large backyard with deer passing by occasionally! I personally loved the outdoor shower for cleaning off after a day at the beach. Communication with Will was also very easy and always met with a quick response. My family enjoyed this place a lot. We would not hesitate to book this cottage again. It is a gem.
