Stunning lake views

My favorite part of our stay was waking to the stunning lake view from the bedroom window then hopping in the hot tub to enjoy the sounds of waves and birdsong.

First off - the hosts were incredibly responsive! Secondly, when we walked in to the cottage we both were so delightfully excited - the comfort, the set up, the view, the amenities, etc. Everything was perfect!

quiet stay on the beach

We really enjoyed our stay. We stayed from Sunday through Tuesday and didn't see another soul around which was perfect. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Sometimes places say that but this place was actually stocked with everything we needed :) We would not hesitate to stay again.

Everything was perfect and just what we needed for our stay! Looking forward to going back during warmer months to enjoy the beach and water. The only small hiccup was the address/location VRBO provided was about 10 minutes away from the actual house (off the same street). But Austin answered our call right away and got us to the house with no issues.

Perfect weekend getaway from Chicago!

Just what our family of four (six including our two pups!) were looking for…house is adorable and well equipped, and you simply can’t beat the private beach. Fenced-in front yard was perfect for the dogs. Host was super responsive and included lovely extra touches that made the stay even more enjoyable.

Austin and Mikayla are wonderful hosts. They put a lot of thought and effort into the little things to make your stay as perfect as possible. The property is clean, in a beautiful location, and packed with amenities to enjoy. Getting up early to watch the sunrise over the bay from the hot tub was *chef's kiss*. Can't wait to come back in summer.

The hosts were very welcoming and the house was gorgeous and in the perfect spot where you can watch the sun rise every morning .. we loved the fenced in yard for my friends dog who can’t be off leash so she for sure loved it! The hot tub was amazing even in 20 degree weather. They provided soft blankets for those cold mornings and nights. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back soon!

Lovely Relaxing Beach Trip!

Everything was so peaceful and quiet. I loved the hammock! My dog also enjoyed himself in the fenced yard and on the beach. Sunrises were amazing and fires at night were perfect! Saw some Bald Eagles and Pelicans which was a treat. Thanks again!!

Quiet & Enoyable Beach House!

My husband, 3 teen daughters & I enjoyed our stay here! Place was as described on VRBO. There were little things, but could be overlooked. When we needed assistance, owner was responsive & helped us out quickly. For family of 5 wanted to have a private beach, this would be the place for you!

Your place was perfect and had everything we needed. The fenced in yard for the dogs was the best. It was so isolated that we felt like the only people left on earth. Lol Loved! Loved! Loved your place. Thanks for sharing your piece of joy. Willie, Billie, Lee and Ollie
