    What an amazing place! Lots of space to accommodate comfortably our group of 14 women (all in our 60’s). The cottages are stylishly decorated, and we all appreciated the comfortable bedding. The well appointed kitchen made it easy to prep our breakfasts and cocktail hour treats, which we enjoyed together on the wrap-around porch. The property also boasts lawn games, and a slew of Adirondack chairs to facilitate evening conversation around a fire pit. Ingrid is the consummate well-connected host. She connected us with a local winery, who did a private tasting for us on the lawn with a view of a spectacular sunset over the lakes and dunes, and a chef who made us an amazing dinner. Dune Lakes was also a perfect home base for other local activities - beach, hikes, spa, etc. Highly recommended!

    This spot has everything you need to host a big group: beautiful setting with gorgeous sunsets, multiple cottages and a larger space for shared meals and gatherings, plenty of space for activities like corn hole, bocce, and camp fires. You can hike to the sand dunes, do a sunset wine tasting, or dance the night away. Cottages are beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches like bathrobes and excellent coffee. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The host is amazing! Great communication and attention to detail!

    We had a delightful stay at this lovely property! From the moment we arrived it was clear that a much thought and care had gone into making the property so inviting. The group spaces, both indoor and out, were great for hanging out, chatting and playing games. There were also plenty of cozy places to relax. There property was well set up for catered events or for cooking on your own. I highly recommend this property for families, friend groups or retreats!
