Stayed May 22, 2026Excellent property for a quiet getaway weekend with just adults. The kitchen was fully outfitted for preparing your own food, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby if you don’t want to cook. Awesome location, secluded but close to a ton of outdoor activities. Overall, we had a great time away for the weekend.

Stayed Apr 16, 2026I have stayed at this property many times, and love it so much that, four years after my initial stay, I am reviewing it again. This cottage is a true sanctuary. It’s beautiful and peaceful. I have come here over the years, just myself, no spouse or friends. I’ve stayed here when life was wonderful, and stayed here when life was falling apart. In both times, the peace, nature, and time to slow down and feel a sense of peace and thankfulness has been a healing and deeply restorative time. The property is beautiful. I love being able to enjoy the hot tub and watch birds and trees swaying. The screened in porch has reading lamps, where I’ve come to love reading, crocheting, and writing when I’m there. In colder months, the fire stove smells glorious and creates warmth and coziness. Eileen and the folks who attends to the cottage do so beautifully. Kindling is set up in the fire stove for you when you arrive, there is a basket of treats waiting, basics like olive oil, salt and the like. A great kitchen. The stairs are steep, so do keep that in mind, but the sofa downstairs does pull out, making it more accessible. Extra toothbrushes/soap/etc are available if you forget something. Wireless, sunscreen, etc. are there. Beach time is super easy to get here, as are lots of fun spots for a meal, a little shopping, etc. Three Oaks is a good place to stop. Throw comfy clothes and swimsuit into a bag, bring easy snacks, and expect a wonderful stay - believe me, you’ll get it.

Stayed Oct 30, 2025Everything here was perfect if you're looking for an unfussy, comfortable, and convenient long weekend away from Chicago. Location is perfect: Easy walk to the Warren Dunes. Easy walk to local places to eat and hang out.The house was just right. Yes, the stairs are steep and we had to carry our dog down them, but this feels like staying in a cozy house, not an artificial rental property. Clean up instructions were reasonable and not over bearing. The outside was great! A dedicated fire pit with lots of wood. A hot tub ready to go. And several other seating spaces. There was plenty of room for our dog to run around without fear of bugging anybody. We weren't too close to anybody so it felt private. And again, the rules for using things weren't fussy. We look forward to coming back!

Stayed Oct 24, 2025The cottage is ADORABLE and as advertised, is perfect for two people. So much quaintness from the hardwood floors, to the old windows with little pull knobs, the screened in porch and flower boxes. Set back in the woods so privacy is not an issue. Hot tub was super, water was nice and hot and great jets. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need (although we didn’t do any cooking, just coffee in the mornings). Convenient location if Warren Dunes is your destination or any of the Harbor Country towns. Joined a Murder Mystery dinner at Lakeside Inn, which was so fun! Visited our favorites for food and drinks, which included Brewster’s, Beer Church, Stray Dog and Neon Moon. And lots of time at the beach for sunset and sunrise, enjoying the spectacular autumn weather we were blessed with. Would definitely stay again.

We grilled several times on the best grill we have ever used. Would go back in a heartbeat and probably will. The owners treated us very good.

Stayed Jun 30, 2025We stayed 3 nights at this great cottage. The online pictures don’t do it justice - it was better in person. The backyard has everything you could want for an enjoyable stay. There is a fruit market next door that my girls visited twice. And it is a 5 min drive to our favorite Cherry Beach (which is now charging 15 daily parking). We had a very relaxing stay and would book this place again.

Stayed Oct 11, 2024My partner and I enjoyed our stay until the last 30 minutes. Were getting dressed downstairs and the blinds were left up on a window facing the lane with the treeline behind. This trip's last moment of intimacy was interrupted when I noticed an unfamiliar car in the lane outside the window. It was 10:30, 30 minutes before checkout. We quickly finished dressing (from nude) and packing, anxious about the unknown car. After about 15 minutes, we approached the car. We let who we assume to be the owners know that we were dressing when they arrived early, that we felt rushed, and their early presence was making us uncomfortable. They said this had never been an issue before, implying they arrive well before checkout regularly. Arriving thirty minutes before checkout would be inappropriate anywhere, but especially so for a property being marketed as a couples retreat. Rather than taking off a few stars for this, I think a 1-star review is appropriate, due to the owners response. After we expressed our discomfort at their presence, they continued to wait in their car outside the property up until the checkout time. There is an empty parking lot 1/4 mile down the road the could have waited in, if they had any consideration for their guests. It's a nice property in a nice location. Not exactly a hideaway as the listing suggests; there are 3 multistory homes adjacent and the treeline is sparse in places. We enjoyed most of our time here but something is wrong with the managers.

Stayed Sep 27, 2024Just returned from the best little weekend here! It is hard to choose what I liked most, but I think the evening strolls along the beach to watch the sunsets were my favorite. It’s an easy walk from the cottage to get there and you see plenty of beautiful deer along the way. I also got to explore the wine tastings and restaurants in nearby Baroda and New Buffalo and check out some of the local restaurants that the hosts recommend. Just relaxing at the cottage is amazing as well with the cute little porch, hot tub and fire pit. I am already thinking of when I can return for another perfect weekend!
