More Than Just a Cottage

Walking distance to Stony Lake and Lake Michigan (mostly shaded). Indoor space is adequate and pleasant, especially the porch. Plenty of outdoor space with a yard for playing games, two campfire areas, and three tables for eating. We've stayed three times and look forward to a fourth visit. There is also a spacious studio apartment above the garage that can be rented.

Perfect Place for All Ages

This is the second stay for members of my family, and I'm sure we'll be back for a third visit! Younger family members stayed the first time, and adult grandchildren this time.

Good vacation

We enjoyed staying at Windswept cottage. It was in a great location between Stony Lake and Lake MI. We had 8 people in the house, so at times one bathroom was not quite enough. Overall though it was a great place!

Great quiet place to stay!

We loved staying at Patty’s place. They have a great location can walk to stony lake or Lake Michigan. A super cute general store 5 minute walk that has about everything and lots of gluten free food, ice cream and pizza! plenty of beds which is nice and love the sunroom! The couch is comfy also!! We will definitely go back! Thanks for being great hosts! Good vacation memories! 15 mins to Silver Lake but nice to go back to a quiet area!
