The space

Adorable Beach Area Cottage for a Perfect Vacation Getaway.

With so many things virtually at your doorstep, this cottage is the Perfect Getaway any time of year. A quiet cozy cottage in a unique area within a short relaxing walk to clean, sandy, and quiet Lake Michigan Beach. Sleeps 6-8 people comfortably. The open, bright, and pleasing feel inside the cottage is enriched with elements to tie it in with the surrounding woods and coastal atmosphere. When the air conditioning is not desired, the large opened windows let in the light as well as the soothing roar of the waves over the dunes on the lakeshore and the seabreezes wafting through the trees. During the Autumn and Winter seasons, a roaring fire in the fireplace completes the ambience of the wooded wonderland.

WHAT'S PROVIDED

The entire cottage space is included for our guests' use. Bed, bath, and kitchen linens are provided as well as kitchen dinnerware, cookware, silverware, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave oven. The only items guests really need to bring are their clothes, swimming and other sporting gear, and any food items they wish to consume during their stay. In addition to the newly remodeled bathroom inside, the outside shower provides guests the chance to rinse off al fresco upon returning from the beach. Speaking of the beach, this property comes with beach rights, so you will have access to the exclusive, beautiful beach that only neighborhood residents and guests enjoy. This beach also offers the option of having a beach fire to roast hot dogs and smores and enjoy a flickering flame under the twinkling stars at night (we will provide you with the simple directions to get a fire permit).

    Not enough space for 6 adults and 4 kids, not near the beach but instead a mile drive to drop off party because there is no parking, no hot water,we left after one night and would not recommend these spot.

    We very much enjoyed our stay as a family in this house! Two grandparents, two parents and an 11 months old. The house is very comfortable for a longer stay. And close to beach as well as in reasonable distance from Chicago with all there is to see.

    The house was perfect for our family of four. The beach was quiet and a very pleasant walk to and from. Lots of deer and other wildlife in the neighborhood, quiet, wooded area. A couple minutes drive to New Buffalo which was a great visit (and dinner at The Stray Dog). The house had everything that we could have needed plus a lot more. It was a great place to replenish after a day at the beach. Couldn’t recommend it more, and hope to return soon!

    Went for a weekend with family, great little cottage in the woods. About 3/4 mi walk to an awesome private beach, wagon was great for pulling our stuff and also a fun little park nearby. House had everything we needed, bonus points for having books and toys for kids! Thanks again!

    My family of four stayed at this property over the 4th of July holiday. This is a well kept, clean, older home with great amenities for the beach. Very quiet, wooded street- we saw deer in the neighborhood almost every day. Beach cart, wagon, boogie boards, beach chairs, toys, towels, and outdoor shower for when you get back. The neighborhood beach is about 3/4 mile away and up and down a few hills, but definitely easily walkable for my family. It was WONDERFUL to not have to fight parking at the public beaches on a busy holiday weekend. About 25 minutes to Indiana Dunes State Park; less than 10 to New Buffalo, MI. Was great to have a kitchen, dishwasher, grill, and washer/dryer to use as well. The only part not ideal was that it was hot and humid when we were there and upstairs had a window unit AC, so the bedroom and bathroom were sometimes a little warm and sticky (we turned the AC on full blast at night and kept the bedroom door open to help with this while we were sleeping). My kids loved the area downstairs. Would definitely stay here again.
