Exactly what we needed

Our family has a home right around the corner and this was a perfect space to have as extra living space. The home is well stocked and clean. We would definitely stay again and maybe in the summer to enjoy the backyard.

Wonderful week at the Lakeside Cottage

The Lakeside Cottage is cozy, clean and so very comfortable. It was very chilly the week we were here so we weren't able to go to the beach, but there were plenty of activities nearby to keep the whole family engaged and happy. We brought our lab and had a great time taking long walks with her. Bill, the owner, was excellent to communicate with and when the power went out the first night was very responsive and helpful. A great place to stay! Thanks, Bill!

Cute cottage

Very cute cottage. Just wish it was 10 minute walk to true beaches. Closest beach was very, very small and we had to pass a home with a high pitched alarm system always going off. Not loud but audible and not very welcoming. Not much owner, Bill, can do about that! Highly recommend Black Currant Bakehouse in Union Pier! Lakeshore drive is a great road for biking and walking. Lots of big trees and beautiful homes too.

Great Holiday Weekend at the Dunes

This cottage was so spacious and peaceful. There is only 1 bathroom, but it is very spacious. The grounds and "hangout"bonus cottage in the back was a great plus. We love this area and its super close to the State Park! Beautiful weather!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Mountford

My wife and I are proud parents of three girls, and our family has enjoyed our cottage in Lakeside for many years. We really enjoy the entire local community - it has such charm and character.

You can't beat Southwestern Michigan in the summer, but we have also enjoyed Harbor Country in the late fall and winter - the area has so much to offer.

Why they chose this property

We only live 33 miles from the property, so in less than 45 minutes we can escape to an entirely different world. The original foundation dates to 1895, and this cottage has so much character and charm we just fell in love with the place.

What makes this property unique

One of the previous owners was a landscape architect, so the gardens are special. Our 'summer cottage' offers a great place to have a happy hour or let the kids escape to their 'own' private place. The grounds of our property are beautiful, and there are few better places to be than making s'mores at the fire pit after a great day at the beach.
