Cozy Baileys Harbor Cottage on Lake Michigan!

Great place

Nice spot on the water. Close to hiking trails. Comfortable and clean.

We always enjoy this beautiful cottage. When the gas fireplace is upgraded for easier use it will be perfect!

Great place. Clean. Lots of towels, kitchen accessories. Easy lock box to figure out. Loved the view.

Good

It was a lovely place to hang out by the lake.

We enjoyed the nearness of the lake and found the cottage charming.

This was our second time at this property. It is very cozy and comfortable. The setting right on Lake Michigan is perfect. We walked along the beach and enjoyed an evening fire in the fire pit. We will be back.

We have enjoyed staying at this property several times. The property is great. What makes us unhappy is the fact that the service and cleaning fees have become excessive. Repeat customers should get a break when we have a perfect history of leaving a property better than when we arrived.

We gave this property a 5 overall rating because the location is incredible. Having the cottage right on the beach was amazing. We hope to return next year. We do have a few suggestions. It was difficult to work with Evolve. I asked them specific questions and they had no knowledge of the property. Example: I asked if there were fire ring chairs and if there were fans in the bedrooms. They did not know. So we brought camp chairs and would not have needed to. The online listing needs to be updated to say there are beach chairs, picnic table and bedroom ceiling fans. A House book would help listing TV station numbers, where things were located like the first aid kit and general information about the area. It was nice that there was cable, internet and games. The locations is so beautiful and peaceful it made everything seem perfect. The ease of check out was great. We were grateful to check in early.

This cozy cabin in Bailey’s Harbor was just what my family needed. So cozy, yet lots of space for everyone. We played some of the board games, walked the beach, watched the sun come up, close to town. It was the most relaxed I’ve been on a vacation in I don’t know how long. We all agreed that we didn’t want to leave. We hope we can come back again someday!

A wonderful old fashioned cabin but with all conveniences. We had a wonderful time

The location was great. Check-in was a breeze, but the key was not secured when we got there. The front beach area and yard desperately need a clean up. There were 2 large piles of tree trimmings and the grass was overgrown for the whole yard. Beds were comfortable. The internet was turned off when we got there but still didn't work after powered on. Rain forced us to stay at the house for about 8 hours so having to use data instead of being able to access Wi-Fi was frustrating. To be fair I did not contact the host as troubleshooting Wi-Fi is not something I wanted to spend my time doing. (We could connect to the Wi-Fi but didn't have internet.) The instructions for leaving were confusing as the initial email for instructions was different than the printed copy left for guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We had an excellent stay, five stars all around. Firewood and lighter fluid are provided, chairs to take by the beach. There is a Keurig machine FYI. There were no issues with the blinds, there are instructions on how to use them; we were concerned about that because of past reviews. We were able to check in early. Beautiful location, beautiful beachfront, and the house was clean and cozy and charming.
