REVIEWS
"Great location. The house was perfectly clean in every detail, towels and linens too. It was 90F+ in Illinois, but this cottage right by Lake Michigan was comfortable even without AC (I like the old school vibe). There were enough fans as needed, and the house is tucked in a nice dune valley among the trees so it doesn't get pounded by sunlight to make it hot. The kitchen was fantastic, plenty of room to hang out and play games, back porch to come in from the beach, wash off, and ditch your beach stuff. Just a very short walk to the fantastic Grand Haven beach, and a short drive, or bike ride to town. Communication from the management was always quick and accurate. Thank you!"

"Good communication from Unsalted Vacations. House was well equipped and clean. Clear instructions for check in/ check out. Charming old cottage in a historic neighborhood. Worked well for our family of 8. Really enjoyed the screened porch. Easy walk to the beach. Was cool at night with the fans on. We enjoyed our time there."
Ann F.
"We had a great stay! We walked to the beach and spent lovely long days on the beach. The sunsets a block away were beautiful. The town was also within walking distance so we spent time there as well. The house was open and spacious and good for our group to gather."
