10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
The house had everything we could want and prettier decor than seen in the photos. Everything is updated and in excellent condition including appliances. Plenty of comfortable seating, comfortable beds, and CLEAN! It's in a pleasant setting and central to all we wanted to do in Harbor Country. The hosts were immediately responsive to our few minor questions during our 2-week stay. Favorite spot: screened porch. But the house would also be a great winter retreat. We hope to return.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Lovely stay. Immaculate property with everything we needed. Two comfortable bedrooms and two baths—perfect for our two couples. There is also a big sofa bed for larger families or groups. Lots of comfy seating in the living room. Very nice to cozy-in during the cool evenings. We really enjoyed the screened porch, too! Plenty of nice seating there, too. It was a little chilly for us to use the other outdoor areas, but they looked inviting! Communication with the hosts was prompt and helpful. Such nice people. Our only comment for future guests is to be aware there is a step up from the kitchen/living area to the bedroom wing, so may not be ideal for guests with significant mobility concerns. Not a concern for us, but could be for others. That said, the owners were very thoughtful in their placement of motion activated stair lighting to promote safety for all guests. The home is in a lovely, quiet area with very easy access to Red Arrow Highway and all that is great about SW Michigan. The Swedish bakery is really close! Yum!! We would recommend this VRBO!

The location of this beach cottage is fantastic. We were minutes away from a beautiful, long beach, a fun and popular swiss bakery with tasty nibbles, and close to Sawyer for dining options. Our hosts were very responsive to all our questions from the moment we arrived. We loved having our morning coffee in the screened in porch and the hot rain shower at the end of a day at the beach. Also lots of places to run and bike. We had a great long weekend. Thanks for your hospitality!

Beautiful home, very comfy and well stocked. Loved the screened porch had lots of laughs and stories with my 3 sisters. Enjoyed exploring all the beaches and small towns around. Will definitely keep this in mind for a return trip. Thank you, Diane
