Beautiful little cottage right on the water. Neighbors are close but, it still felt private. The hot tub is a big plus. The porch was awesome. Nice private beach with good access. We hope to return.

We loved our stay at this house! The view from the wrap around porch was gorgeous and looked directly at the lake. Sunsets were amazing! The stairs down to the beach looked new and were really close to the house. We had a wonderful time!

This was our third time overall to this cottage and we have enjoyed it so much every time! The added steps to the beach is a huge plus and saves having to travel to a public beach. The view here is second to none from the deck of the house and it never gets old watching the sunsets here. Will be back again!

This property is a cute, clean house on a remarkable location. My family and I enjoyed the lake views and easy beach access. The views of the lake can’t be beat and the private beach access was wonderful. The kids also enjoyed the clean, hot tub in the evening while we sat and stared at the water. Thank you for a great getaway! Looking forward to our next visit!

This was hands down one of our favorite family vacations! The home was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The view is absolutely breathtaking, the pictures don’t do it justice! We spent countless hours outside enjoying the porch, private beach, hot tub, and watching the incredible sunsets. It was the perfect place to unwind and make memories as a family. We truly didn’t want to leave and would recommend this property to anyone looking for an unforgettable Lake Michigan getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

This is a lovely place to get away from the big city. It's right by the escarpment going down to the lake - it's about 120 steps down the new staircase to get to the beach. The house itself is comfortable, and we found it spotlessly clean. Everything about the stay was perfect.

This place is amazing and the views and sunset spectacular! Unplug is true with no service or WiFi. The stairs to the beach, the patio, and cottage itself constructed very well! So cozy and truly amazing. We recommend bringing or renting beach equipment as it was not included. Would absolutely return here to unplug, stare at the gorgeous water and boats. Location convenient to South Haven and Saugatuck.

We loved the property and our stay! Check-in/check-out was very straightforward with no issues. Cabin was clean and well-maintained. The wrap around porch was amazing and we had beautiful, unobstructed views of sunsets over the lake each night. The stairs to the beach were great - just be ready for the climb back up (we counted 124 steps) but the landings offer good places to take a quick break if needed. There were helpful & thoughtful touches everywhere like extra toiletries in the bathrooms, extra blankets and towels readily available throughout the cabin, and extension cords that made it easy to find outlets to charge devices. A nice surprise was seeing a bald eagle two of the days we stayed - we think there might be a nest nearby. Cell service and Wi-fi did go in and out, but we were very happy without it! The trees around the property offer a lot of privacy, and we really enjoyed the natural, quiet environment.All in all, a wonderful way to enjoy Lake Michigan! We would absolutely go back.
