Cozy Cottage with GUEST HOUSE, 15 minute walk to the beach and Pet Friendly.

We have stayed at Catherine’s place before, but there have been a few improvements that we really liked. The deck is now more inviting to hang out on with the new comfortable furniture. A big plus! My husband loved using the bike and rode the new bike trail to New Buffalo twice. We had a wonderful time and love the location.

Comfortable cottage close to perfect Lake Michigan beaches and great places to eat.

We had a great girls weekend here! If you like camping, hiking in the woods, and relaxing on a quiet beach, this is perfect for you! If you enjoy high class hotels and beaches with lots of action, keep looking. This was about a mile walk in a pretty wooded neighborhood with hills. Not necessarily an easy walk, but doable. Be ready for lots of bugs, biting flies, spiders, webs, etc. But we also saw lots of deer, including a baby! The house is well stocked with everything you need except for sheets. We did a pick up grocery order at Al’s on Karwick. Also, you can park your car for 15 minutes by the beach to load/unload your stuff. This was our first time at Lake Michigan and it was BEAUTIFUL. We would stay here again, but would love an option to rent a golf cart!

The cottage was indeed cozy, very clean and comfortable. A really big plus was the great fenced in, private backyard yard with lovely conversation seating. Thank goodness for a small, but clean basement area to sit out tornado warnings! The location was great allowing easy access to New Buffalo or Michigan City. Communication with the property owner was minimal, but received a prompt response when needed. I would definitely refer someone to the property or check its availability if returning to the area.

Charming, perfectly sized cottage for four. Well supplied kitchen for cooking. Quiet neighborhood. Very comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy in the private, shaded backyard. Great location for exploring surrounding area. Really appreciated the supplied beach chairs, wagon and boogie boards. Had some problems with smart tv, but owner very responsive and the issue was resolved. We would definitely return to the cottage.

This was our very first trip to the area, and it did not disappoint. The neighborhood was like walking through a fairy tale forest with a beach at the end. The beaches along Lake Michigan are stunning, and there are plenty of places to hike, bike, and run in the community. There is a little nature trail a short walk from the cottage that is a hidden gem. Indiana Dunes parks are only about 15 -20 min drive, and there are shopping areas and restaurants close by. Michiana Shores is a very pet friendly community - dogs are welcome at the parks and on the beaches before / after certain times. The cottage is a short walk to the beach- we are both very active and have a high fitness level, so for us, the walk to / from the beach was very enjoyable . This cottage was absolutely amazing and perfect for the two of us and our two small dogs. It has everything you need- the kitchen is well equipped, the fenced-in yard was great for our furbabies, and Catherine has beach equipment -chairs / umbrella/ cart available for guests to use. The cottage is very clean, well-cared for, and stocked with some initial essentials to get started. We brought our own sheets / towels to cover the couch / chairs in order to keep the furniture free of dog hair. Catherine is a lovely host, and very easy to work with. She gave us alot of information on the area, and all of the stores and restaurants were easy to find. We had a magical vacation, and are planning to come back soon. Thank you, Catherine!!

We had a great time.

Had a great time. Great house good food

We had a wonderful time. The porch was a wonderful place to hang out. Except for the bees nest on the front porch. It was perfect. There was so much to do up there. They had bicycles and ping-pong ! The lighthouse mall was also great fun. A wonderful time was had by all.

Wonderful little cottage in a nice woodsy area. The walk to the beach was refreshing. We saw deer, beautiful homes, friendly people, and of course the amazing beach and Lake Michigan! It’s close to New Buffalo which boasts fun shops, restaurants, and of course Oinks ice cream parlor. We also visited Silver Beach and St Joseph. We will be back!
