This cottage is just as described, wooded area off the beaten path but close to civilization. Our family had a wonderful vacation here and loved it! Communication with our host and check in was easy and pleasant. The place is clean and cozy and decorated nicely. The short walk up the hill to the first deck overlooking the beach below is perfect for an evening watching the sunset. Steps down to the sandy beach below are many, but well built. People on the beach were friendly and the sand is soft. The large front deck with table and chairs has a large propane grill. The kitchen is ready to prepare food and the bay window with seating affords a view to the sunrise, barely visible through the trees on the hills that surround this place where deer and turkeys wander. Ample seating in the living room and a large table for family meals in near the entrance. We didn't use the sleeper there but it's big enough for 2 people. Master bedroom king size bed is firm but the foam top is very comfortable. Second bedroom has a cute toddler boat bed, upper bunk and convenient full size bed. Bathroom and laundry are convenient and loads of towels for bathing.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cottage in the woods. Very peaceful and serene. We also enjoyed watching deer and wild turkeys outside our windows. It was great to go to Lake Michigan w/o having to get into our cars and drive. Thoroughly enjoyed evening sunsets over the lake from the deck at the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was more than we hoped for! I was looking to relive my childhood experiences of staying with my family in a cottage on Lake Michigan. This hidden gem did not disappoint! From the ease of booking, to the welcome call from the owner to provide us with info and tips, to the informational check-in, to the cabin itself, to the semi-private beach, to the deer and turkey watching right outside our door, it was all wonderful! A quick jaunt from the cabin through the woods took us to a beautiful 2 mile walk around Dune Harbor. A quick 15 minute drive to Grand Haven. So many other places nearby, but the cabin and beach were enough for us most days! We will definitely be back!

The home was cute with the needed furnishings. We love the bay window seating to watch the deer come and go munching on acorns. Short walk to the stairs to Lake Michigan.
