Adorable house for our girl’s trip! The 7 of us had plenty of room to sleep comfortably and it was an easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed the restaurants and shopping nearby in Union Pier and New Buffalo.

What a beautiful and charming cottage and neighborhood! Everything was so clean and decorated beautifully. Easy walk to a very nice beach- there were several stairs down to the beach, but it was doable. We would love to stay here again! Thank you!

This is a clean and quite lovely property. We enjoyed it very much. Fully stocked kitchen and ample sleeping arrangements. You walk a short ways to the private beach down some stairs. They are steep but have good railings.

Place is super cute and was a great layout for a girls trip with 7 people. We liked the two sitting areas and roomy kitchen. The short walk to the beach wasn’t bad and bringing our foldable wagon was super helpful. We were not prepared for all of the stairs to get down to the beach with all of our stuff but still had a great time. We loved having a fire on the beach and ate pizza around it one night. Only had 4 beach chairs available at the house and luckily we had friends that live there loan us a few more so all 7 had a seat. Overall it was a great experience and had a lot of fun!

This was one of the nicest places I’ve stayed. The cottage was the perfect level of whimsy and home and every room is gorgeous. The beds were so comfortable. Gigi is an amazing host and super responsive when we had questions. This little house was just what we needed for our girls weekend.

A great place to stay.

The perfect cottage for our group of 4 adults and 2 young children. The cottage is comfortable and feels roomy, and the garden is charming with several areas to relax. It's just a few minutes walk to the beach. Highly recommend!

Sweet cottage near beach

We enjoyed our weekend stay. There was plenty of space for our large family in this cute shabby chic cottage. The beach is only a short walk away and we loved exploring the little harbor towns only a short drive away.
