This place was perfect for two! It was small, but so fun and had everything we needed plus more. It was a quick walk to the hot tub and beach and a quick drive to food, shopping and the casino. It was cold so we didn’t get to take advantage of the free bicycles or beach equipment, but we’ll definitely be back. The pinball and massage chair were a nice touch! Super cozy spot!
This place is so warm and cozy. Like walking back in time with the old kitchen appliances. Perfect for a winter getaway with a hot tub & amazing massage chair. The city is so beautiful to explore from Bennett’s Antique Store to Tavern on 12. Highly recommended will be booking again soon. Host was super responsive and respectful.
The place was accurately described in the listing, it is very small and cozy but easy access to the beach and we weren’t in the room much. It would have been nice for the comfy chair and massage chair to be swapped so there was a comfy place to sit while watching TV
Everything was as described. The cottage was clean and cozy, the hot tub was clean. The only thing I would warn about is the terrain is uneven, so if you have mobility concerns, you may want to take that into consideration. I do believe the host did a good job describing the area. The walk to the beach is all on sand and was a little rough on my knees. But the hot tub helped with that! We had a nice relaxing stay.
Host was great! Really clean and right on Lake Michigan beach. Cottage is nice and cozy for a relaxing time. We had a great time and if your looking for an amazing place away from the busy city life, this is the place for you. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

The location was PERFECT. Just a 5 minute walk down a sandy path to a beautiful beach and Lake Michigan! The tiny cottage was perfect for two people. The bed however is very very hard. If you’re young you’d be okay, but us older folks don’t do well on firm beds lolOther than that our weekend stay was perfect!

could have given you a extra 3 inch foam topper if you had said something.
We love this location. The landscaping was beautiful. We didn’t use the hot tub as it is not in a secluded location. But we still love this little spot and look forward to our next visit.

The tub has a lattice gazebo on 3 sides & the location is up against wilderness.
Beautiful location and great access to the beach.We will come back in the summer to enjoy the beach more. Wildlife lovers will really enjoy this place. Very affordable.
