    We had a lovely time at The Cozy Cottage. It was clean and all the amenities were available. We especially loved how close we were to the beautiful beach.

    This was our second time staying here and we are so glad we came back! The house is great, well furnished, and has access to a wonderful beach! We love this area of Michigan and look forward to our next trip!

    This was our 3rd visit to Cozy Cottage. Our check in was delayed about 2 hours which disrupted our schedule. We couldn’t use the hot tub for the entire visit as it was so dirty it had to be emptied. The owner gave me some money back but the kids wanted use of the hot tub more than the refund, very disappointing! The mattresses and couch could use refreshing, pretty squishy. The lighting is a challenge in the dining and living areas. Lots of spider webs and a few cricket spiders which freaked the kids out! The AC had been looked at the week before and they came back again because it was warm; the thermostat resets in the morning and if it doesn’t sense movement, the issue remains that it takes it almost overnight to cool back down to where we felt comfortable. We won’t be returning, the rental cost in my opinion is too high for the conditions. Lovely property and good beach accessories!

    The accommodations, area, and proximity to the beach and other area attractions were highlights of our stay. I hope to return again!

    The Cozy Cottage was a perfect home for our family’s week long stay over the 4th of July. The home had a great layout for a family of 5 or more with 4 beds in one of the bedrooms for kiddos. We enjoyed the front porch, hot tub and large yard. It also has great access to Orchard Beach which is a nice size and a short walk from the house. Plenty of chairs, umbrellas, wagon and beach toys to make the stay enjoyable. We’d love to book again!

    Our group of 7 enjoyed staying at Cozy Cottage during a recent summer wedding weekend. The association beach was particularly amazing.

    Perfect for our four friends girls’ trip! SUPER comfortable living space! Everything was as described plus more. Easy walk to private beach (you do need a pass to get in -don’t try to go before your check-in). Yes, the steps are a lot, but totally worth it! Comfortable beds, great family-friendly games, books, & DVDs. We had a very relaxing getaway with lots of laughs. Will definitely book again! Our favorite.

    The house was really nice and clean, and offered all the amenities we needed for a family reunion in Notre Dame. Close to some cute little spots, but still relaxing and secluded. Really enjoyed being so close to Lake Michigan! Janette was very kind and responsive throughout our stay.
