Cute spot close to the beach!

The house was really nice and clean, and offered all the amenities we needed for a family reunion in Notre Dame. Close to some cute little spots, but still relaxing and secluded. Really enjoyed being so close to Lake Michigan! Janette was very kind and responsive throughout our stay.

Superb!

Fantastic cottage with only steps from the beach & private access to beach. Accommodations were lovely with soft colors & comfy bedding for The bedrooms. Our girls enjoyed having a trundle bed so all 4 could share a room!! Super to have a shed with a wagon & sand toys plus floats!! Will definitely return for more fun!!

Cozy, nicely outfitted house just a short walk to gorgeous, private beach.

We cannot overstate how much we loved our stay here! This house is clearly beloved and is well-stocked with all of the cooking and beach supplies you might need for a weekend away. Quiet, laid-back neighborhood, friendly neighbors waved hello to us every time they passed. The beach was clean, quiet, and BEAUTIFUL. We will absolutely be back!

Good Times in Lakeside MI

The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was wonderful and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped and the storage shed was loaded with great beach toys. We enjoyed cooking, kayaking, biking, beaching and golfing. We will return next summer. Thank you to our hosts for a terrific stay!

Everything was wonderful!

We had a great stay at the Cozy Cottage. The home is stocked with everything you could possibly need! We had plenty of space (Me, my husband, and 3 & 5 year old boys) to relax and enjoy Lakeside. The beach was a quick walk down the road and then about 25 steps down. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed, plus a garage full of fun toys and chairs, etc for the beach. I already want to come back next summer!

Family Vacation

My wife and two kids, 4 and 6, spent a wonderful week at this lovely cottage. The house overall was very nice with plenty of space for us all. The only minor improvement would be a more thorough cleaning of the house.

Amazing house and beach!!

Janette was an amazing host! Her house is beautiful - a perfect beach oasis. It was open and airy, impeccably clean, had so many amenities (hot tub, tons of beach equipment, full kitchen supplies, comfy beds, plentiful towels, cute patio and porch, etc). We loved it! We plan on making this an annual adventure. Can’t wait for those union pier sunsets next year. Thanks, Janette!

Awesome

I am very picky and always afraid of getting a place that isn't as advertised. This house and Janette far exceeded expectations. Everything was VERY clean! It is one of the first rentals I didn't feel the need to clean again when I arrived. Comfortable beds. Easy walk to beach. Everything you need for a awesome week at the beach. Will definitely stay again.

The Perfect Harbor Country Cottage

This was our third stay at The Cozy Cottage in Lakeside. We love this home - beautifully, beach-ily decorated, comfortable and welcoming! It was spotlessly clean when we arrived with chocolates, wine and flowers to greet us. The house is fully stocked with everything you might need except your swimsuit! :) We love how many beach toys are in the shed and the easy 5 minute (if that) walk to a beautiful beach. Owners are very responsive with any issues that come up. The cottage really shows their pride in ownership. We highly recommend this cottage for a visit to Lake Michigan and are looking forward to stay number 4 again soon!!

Home away from home

This was our 2nd time staying here. It was so nice being familiar with the house, beach, and area. House is light and airy, neighborhood great for walks, and we basically had our own beach for the week. All was wonderful.

Post-Holiday Getaway

This house was a really great getaway for our family. The Lake was a short walk around the corner and our 4 year old had as much fun on the beach in late December as she does in the summer. Also loved the hot tub and indoor fireplace. We did a lot of cooking and appreciated all the gear in the kitchen as well as a few essentials like olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Thank you for accommodating our earlier check in as well.

What a nurturing place! Cozy Retreat is immaculately clean, comfortable beds, and a well stocked “cooks kitchen“. The hot tub is just steps out the back door and was lovely during the cool Michigan evenings. Already looking forward to going back!

Perfect Place for Our Family

This house was perfect for our family vacation! The house is nice on the outside and gorgeous on the inside. Very well stocked with kitchen tools, beach towels, bedding, etc. They also have lots of beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, and even a wagon that we used at the beach every single day. It's a short walk from the house down to the beach (~5 min) and it was no problem even with our two small children. Hot tub was a nice bonus! Janette was easy to work with and helped make our stay very enjoyable. Check in/out super easy. We will definitely be coming back!

This was our second time in this area and were very happy with everything. The beach was great - close to the house, clean, not too crowded. The house was stocked, clean, and cute. The owner had everything ready and went above and beyond to make us welcome. We will surely be back and are thankful for the time spent here!

Our group has a long history of enjoying Michigan beach vacations and the Cozy exceeded our expectations. Location can't be beat, house is truly cozy and host goes out of her way to make renters feel comfortable including much appreciated essentials. Who forgets coffee?! US, but host had plenty on hand to get us through until visited store. We have many reasons to love Michigan and the Cozy has been added to that extensive list!

Great Stay!

This was our second vacation in the area and we were very happy with the house! Great location, easy walk to the private beach access. We appreciated the beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, floats, etc. available in the shed. Loved the layout of the house and the skylights. Kitchen was well stocked including foil, ziplocks, napkins, cleaning products. Owner was quick to respond when we had a question. We felt very welcomed by fresh flowers and chocolates when we arrived. Would definitely recommend this property.
