Wonderful secluded location

The house was great for our family of six. We have kids ranging from 2 to 11 and they loved the feeling of being tucked away and near the beach. The house has plenty of beds and space. The private beach was nice, but we mainly visited the nearby public beaches because the walk to the private beach was too much with little kids and all our beach gear. The closest public beach is less than a 2 minute drive, and others are only 5-10, so not a problem. The host is very responsive and helpful. All in all, a great stay!

Nearby beautiful lake view

This property worked well for our ladies weekend. It is an older home which needs some upkeep but was overall clean. Beds were good- most furniture was wicker. No items like soap, personal products or bottled water provided so will need to bring. The absolute best thing was the access to private beach and lake view- gorgeous.

Great cottage

We had such a good stay here with adults and little ones. The cottage is well stocked with just about everything you need. The beds were comfortable and the place is charming. There are so many other things close by as well - we ate out and went to Warren dunes. The bakery is fantastic and we loved the neighboring towns.
