There are a lot of stairs and the parking is tough! But once. Your settled the screen porch view and sound of the lake makes it all worthwhile. The house is hot on warm days but we used all the fans and honestly sat at the beach or the porch. The beach is beautiful and walking distance to WarrenDunes state park. They provide beach chairs and beach towels which was great! It’s an old school vibe cabin!

Quiet and secluded, the beach was beautiful, good place for a chill weekend away

This house was perfect for a summer getaway. We were nervous about all the stairs with a 4 year old, but he caught in quickly and wasn’t fazed. We spent a lot of time on the beach. It was often quiet, especially in the mornings. Also enjoyed walking down the beach to Warren Dunes State Park. The interior of the home is creative and maintained well. Great view of the lake through the trees. We would stay again.

Surrounded by art, photos , books and every room the view and sounds of the lake. The 43 stairs up to the house did take us by surprise and direct access to the beach should be fixed -and when it got warm on our last lucky day the house smelled like pipe smoke ( we donot smoke ). Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils but make sure to bring your own kleenex coffee, filters , and blow dryer. Definitely recommend and hope to return !

The house is a step back in time in all the best ways. It feels as though it has been a happy place for families for a very long time. It is charming, well stocked and situated beautifully between the woods and the lake. It should be noted that there are 44 steps up to the house and parking is at the bottom. If you check in after dark, consider a flashlight for the stairs. It helped! We never moved our cars. We walked the beach, Warren Dunes State Park and hung out in the house or on the screen porch. It was an amazing, relaxing and beautiful place to spend time with our family.

Super location, interesting home, well stocked kitchen, fabulous view.

Only thing not great was beach access not as described. We understand this has been fixed.

Location was peaceful and quiet. Love the lake view.

Great experience. No issues

Wonderful porch overlooking the lake. Online listing was accurate, in that it is just 100 steps to the beach. Quiet, accommodating. Looking forward to staying again!

This property was perfect for my family of six. The steps up from the road and down to the beach kept those nasty pounds off. The beach is great for walking and only eight minutes away from the heart of Warren Dunes. The beds were comfortable and the living area perfect for family games. Dinner at Timothy's Restaurant was excellent, as was breakfast at the restaurant at the Swedish Bakery. We are coming back.

There were six of us four adults and 1 14-year-old young man. We were here for two nights. We couldn’t have asked for a better property. It was clean and comfortable had everything we needed. We cooked every meal! A couple of things number one: please be aware that to get up to the house there are several stairs. there is no driveway so whatever you bring and whoever you bring half to go up several stairs. 2) we could have used more kitchen towels, there is no washer or dryer available. The location is perfect and the house is adorable and very comfortable and entertainment friendly. We never even turned on the tv on!!!

This cottage was all it was advertised to be. It had a great relaxing feel - enough modern amenities, but the feel of a retreat that has been appreciated by generations. We were only there for 3 nights and didn't want to leave. So many neat books to read on its shelve - a month would be perfect. It is secluded, under towering trees that frame the serene view of Lake Michigan. It's about 400 yards from the beaches at Warren Dunes and the wonderful wooded trails in the hills over the dunes. Very close to Sawyer - which has a great garden center where you can buy almost anything and a brewpub with great food, especially Barbecue. Lots of steps up from the one-lane dirt road to the cottage, and down the other side to the lake. Enough to add to the feel of seclusion; maybe too much for the old and infirm without some effort. We really wouldn't change anything and I hope to get back to this cottage again. I've stayed on Lake Michigan for almost 40 years from Traverse City down to Union Pier. This cottage and location are among the best.

We had a wonderful time...perfect location, charming decor, and just steps down to the private beach. Only things missing are a dishwasher and laundry facilities, but even that lack can't dim our perfect week.

As soon as you walk in and see the lake through the trees of the very large screened porch the stress melts away. The Beach area is clean, private and serene. A 10 minute walk down the beach (with kids) to the dunes. We loved the seclusion of the home but still within close proximity to great eateries. Well stocked home with basic amenities and clean.
