We had a great stay in this wonderful cottage that feels larger than the pictures show. The beds are very comfortable, the decor soothing, incredibly clean and well outfitted with beach chairs and bikes! Bill was great to communicate with and raised the bar compared to the others we have rented from. The back summer cottage reminded us from a scene from Dirty Dancing - it was a great stay and we will return. It was incredibly clean as well.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The screened porch was a great place to relax. The back cottage was nice to spend some quiet time at dusk. We went to the public beach a few times. Some days there was ample room to sit on the sandy beach but other days the waves were too high, however we still enjoyed it there. We love the old charm of the cottage and hope to visit again.

Pictures don't do this place justice! Tons of space, a lovely three season room, and easy access to the beach.

We had a great trip and the cottage was a wonderful location for our family to rest and eat between adventures. The host, Bill, was very helpful and had great communication. Checking in and out was a breeze and we felt right at home with plenty of sleeping space for our family of 6 (with younger kids ages 3-11.)

We had such a great time at the Lakeside Grove Cottage! It was clean, spacious, and close to antiques stores, the beach, breweries and coffee shops! We were able to explore the whole area on our short trip. The host was informative and helpful and it was an easy check-in process. Would recommend this vrbo!

Our family has a home right around the corner and this was a perfect space to have as extra living space. The home is well stocked and clean. We would definitely stay again and maybe in the summer to enjoy the backyard.

The Lakeside Cottage is cozy, clean and so very comfortable. It was very chilly the week we were here so we weren't able to go to the beach, but there were plenty of activities nearby to keep the whole family engaged and happy. We brought our lab and had a great time taking long walks with her. Bill, the owner, was excellent to communicate with and when the power went out the first night was very responsive and helpful. A great place to stay! Thanks, Bill!

Very cute cottage. Just wish it was 10 minute walk to true beaches. Closest beach was very, very small and we had to pass a home with a high pitched alarm system always going off. Not loud but audible and not very welcoming. Not much owner, Bill, can do about that!
Highly recommend Black Currant Bakehouse in Union Pier! Lakeshore drive is a great road for biking and walking. Lots of big trees and beautiful homes too.

This cottage was so spacious and peaceful.
There is only 1 bathroom, but it is very spacious.
The grounds and "hangout"bonus cottage in the back was a great plus.
We love this area and its super close to the State Park! Beautiful weather!

We were thrilled to find a dog friendly property with close beach access. The house was great-totally as advertised. It was really cute, and nicely appointed. It was very clean. It had a nice homey feel. It had a lot of space-so much so, we could have been a larger group. It was warm enough to enjoy the screened in porch, which an added bonus. We only wish we had more time.

This was such a perfect place to stay with our extended family. We had five adults staying (two couples plus a parent), plus two dogs.
It was such a comfortable home base for exploring all of the beautiful nature nearby.
It had everything we needed to cook and stay in, but also nice dining options nearby. We had so much fun getting to spend time as a family over the holidays, and this was a great place to do it.

The property was exactly as promised, and communication with the host was amazing (Bill was super helpful). The location was great - right half way in between most of the stuff we wanted to do, all within 15 minutes.
Perfect, wonderful, would definitely come back if we were in the area again. Thanks!!

A real gem! Spacious inside and out, uniquely landscaped garden/yard including an outdoor screened in building that was huge and a treat to hang out in and take in nature from the indoors. Plenty of restaurants, breweries, nature, lake activities all nearby.

Great location, Great Yard, Cute Place!
This place is a definite find - with the awesome yard, summer house and location, we will be booking again! Only downside is one bathroom, but it makes up for it in all other ways.

Bill was awesome and even let us check in early. House is very cute and very well stocked. Appreciated the trash bags, dishwasher tablets, paper towels, etc. Bedding was very comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Fenced in porch, fire pit, and outdoor spaces were perfect. Location is outside of town (which we prefer with little kids), but everything was easy to get to. Nice quiet street.

Great pick, good price
The Mountford property was lovely and just the right size for the five of us and our two pups. Well-stocked, well-decorated, with lovely front screened porch and extra cabin in the back. Easy access to several public beaches, and the main highway to New Buffalo and other nearby towns.

The cabin was a wonderful summer spot! We felt right at home as soon as we got there! The only reason I gave a 4 for "Accuracy of Listing" is that the beach in walking distance wasn't usable which was a large reason why we chose the location. Bill, however, was up front with letting us know this and the situation was completely out of his control. I'm glad we still chose to go to this spot because it was wonderful. Hopefully next time we visit, the beach will be back to it's normal self and it would be ABSOLUTELY perfect!

This historic cottage was the perfect getaway from the city. My husband and I enjoyed the time away. The cottage was super cozy and it was just nice to relax and read a book on the porch.

Absolutely charming and unique home! The house had incredible vintage vibes. The entire property felt so whimsical- honestly a bit of magic here! We stayed here with two kids, four adults, and two dogs. We had plenty of room. We played tag and explored in the yard. The detached summer cottage was incredible for adults to enjoy an evening with a sleeping baby. There was so much room and interest for just puttering around the property and neighborhood. House had everything. Experience was unforgettably perfect!
