    We never got to take our trip here unfortunately so I'm not sure why it's asking me for a review. The home looked like a cozy spot to vacation.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage in the Woods. It was a great place to celebrate our daughter’s birthday.

    It was a great home base for a fun filled weekend at the Indiana Dunes. We enjoyed the upper deck for dinners and relaxing. The best part was the golf cart that we took to the private beach, perfect for watching the sun set.

    Great pet friendly house in a wonderful community within walking distance to the beach! Plenty to do in the area. This was my third time staying here, and this time I discovered that the botanical garden nearby is dog friendly. Win!

    The location is nice, close to the beach and quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed the golf cart, and appreciated local recommendations from the host. Pictures are accurate, check in process easy. The only critique is that some things are outdated. A few updates could go a long way.

    I actually would give this listing 4 1/2 stars. Lovely woodland property that had a very cozy and relaxing feel to it. The home was clean. We didn't go to the beach, but if you did, there beach chairs available to you. On a rainy day, there are plenty of games provided for your entertainment. The only downside was that if you plan on making any oven meals you should bring your own ovenware as there were none available. There are plenty of pots and a few small skillets. I was glad I brought a large fry pan because the one in the kitchen wasn't in good shape. The use of the golf cart was great. Our time in Michigan was spent seeing family and I wish we had given ourselves extra days to enjoy the lake. I would stay here again in a heart beat. The host was easy to communicate with and check in was easy.

    We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The golf cart and the private beach access are an amazing bonus! We were very close to the National Park and several state parks. Great shops and restaurants in the area too! I totally fell in love with Lake Michigan and look forward to coming back!

    The listing is more spacious and even nicer that the pictures show. It had everything we could possibly need. The beach was beautiful. The beds aren't the best, but plenty of blankets, pillows, and linens. We loved the golf cart, location to everything we wanted to do, and the communication with host. A wonderful experience. I hope to book it again sometime. We cooked out on the grill and enjoyed the deck over looking the woods. It's a beautiful cottage, very clean and cozy.

    Such a wonderful place to stay! Great location to the quiet, clean and very nice beach and in a beautiful wooded setting. The house had everything we could have wanted or needed for the week. The owner was so kind and was quick to respond from the time we booked to when we checked out. Our family had the best week here and would love to come back again!

    Wonderful, quiet neighborhood in walking distance to the beach, and easy driving distance to Indiana Dunes State and National parks. Owners have plenty of items on hand if needed, such as beach items, a dog crate if you are traveling with your fur baby, and even a high chair if you are traveling with a small child. There is also a golf cart for your use! Cute shops and great places to eat in downtown New Buffalo. Lots of outdoor seating at the house, including a grill and a firepit.
