Cozy Cottage in the woods private lake access.

Our family had a wonderful weekend at Cozy Cottage! The experience really exceeded our expectations. Check-in couldn't have been easier, the host answered our questions before we visited. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The central A/C made the trip comfortable even in hot weather. The walk to the beach was easy. The beach itself was excellent and really felt private. We would love to stay here again!

Really love the no tv and internet access. We were Able to put the electronics down and just hang out with one another. Sure it’s a little walk to the beach but it worth it. Sunsets are outstanding. Really enjoyed our stay and the kids loved the treehouse and all the games. Thanks for keeping the cottage feel rather than the modern monstrosities that seem to be taking over

The property was perfect! The cottage was bright and welcoming and the wood surrounding the house made it feel like we were in our own little world! The wording of the directions to the lake access were a little confusing in the binder, but the path through the woods was clear and made sense once we walked it. The beach was beautiful and the water was different each time we went down to the beach because we had a windy day and a still day..Sunrise and sunset... Each one beautiful. The beach is very rocky, so we wishes we had brought swim shoes. Once we made it past the rocks in the water, we found it went back to sand and was perfect for standing on. We loved the simplicity of the house, and though it was simple, we had everything we needed to be able to enjoy a family weekend away.

Before booking, we were unsure because we typically stay right on the lake. We weren't sure how much the daily commute to the beach and back would bother us but it was easy peasy with the golf cart! I'm sure it wouldn't have bothered us even without the golf cart because they do have a nice scenic trail through the woods to get there where we saw deer and turkeys. Jeannette was very helpful prior to booking and accomodating. We didn't have to reach out to her during our stay because everything was set for us. The house was very clean. Us adults and kids loved the outdoor amenities! My husband and I were iffy about no wifi because of our businesses but it was the best stay honestly! It was so nice to unplug and we had everything we needed. Some of us could call/text at the house and view some wifi content but overall, we had really good reception right at the entrance to the beach when we needed it. We loved the nice big yard for the dogs as well. It was relieving to not have to put them on a leash each time to go outside. Overall, LOVED IT!

My family of six had a lovely stay. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to explore both Saugatuck and South Haven and it’s situated right between. The outdoor area was fantastic for our four kids and dog to play, the tree swing, tree house and hammock were all big hits. We had everything we needed and even some things we didn’t. It’s about a 5 minute walk to a private, dog friendly beach that was also really great for rock hunting.

The location and privacy and closeness to the lake was just what we needed. Hosted family for a special memorial dinner for my mom’s one year anniversary beside a lake so beloved by her and my whole family. Thank you!

This is our second time staying at this cottage. It was just as awesome as the first time. We absolutely love the private beach. Sunsets are amazing! The cottage is so cozy and has everything we need. Just need clothes, suits, beach towels, and food. I love that the phone service is spotty. It’s perfect to disconnect and just spend time together as a family. Can’t wait to come back next year.

The first odd thing we saw upon arrival was a dirty diaper near the front deck and long uncut grass in a large part of the lawn. Heavy rains must have made the lot very wet so it resembled a marsh so-to-speak. When we pulled back the comforters there were so many dark hairs, human or fur pets, who knows, so we slept on our own blankets. Cleanliness became an immediate concern. The bathroom was lacking privacy with a half glass clear shower wall, and an uncovered window facing the backyard area. My two teen boys and girls were concerned about privacy during their showers, rightly so. There was a strong mildew/musty odor in the bathroom as well that never went away. So many bugs. A hornets nest on the shed near the outdoor shower was a no-zone for us. There are so many unsealed areas around this little, (yes, old) cottage that it’s the perfect home for spiders, earwigs, beetles, ants of all sizes, mosquitoes, etc., in every room, even after we put away and picked up all food items. And we were diligent, because who likes to eat a no-bake cookie from a sealed container crawling with ants on the outside? The cottage lacked lamps and only had ceiling lights. The fridge light wouldn’t stay on when opened. There wasn’t enough seating for my family of six at the dining table or living area space. Only one appliance could be used at a time. The closets were locked up so no place (like a dresser) to put your clothing or luggage. The second queen room needed an a/c window unit lik

Great property. Enjoyed the access to the beautiful beach. Really enjoyed the large yard, swings, tree house, and fire pit!

The house was great. It had all we needed and the host was super friendly and communicative. It's driving distance to so many fun places to visit, but the house and property were more than enough. We woke to a family of five deer hanging out in front while the baby deer ran and played with one another. My toddler was so happy watching from the window. We walked down to the beach and spent a wonderful day playing and collecting rocks. The tree house and swing were perfect. I watched my daughter practice swinging while looking out from the kitchen. So many beautiful memories! Would definitely return to make more!
