    Very clean, quaint, comfortable and wonderfully located cottage. We walked to watch the sunsets at the park nightly and for coffee at Cuesta down the street in the mornings. We appreciated being out of the tourism hubbub but did spend time in those cities one day. It was a perfect stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the shower was like a massage, the essentials were all there plus the graceful touches of a cherry tart, battery candles, the ability to have fires a couple of nights outside and still have a fireplace in the cottage for the early mornings and late nights. Stars were amazing just from the back yard. I will definitely be returning plus the owners were helpful and kind.

    Small but mighty. Kitchen supplies all the pots and dishes. Owner left a yummy cherry tart and was prompt in all communication. It was starting to get colder, so she did get the gas fireplace preped for us.Did not use the fire pit, but did see 2 fawns walking back there one morning.#4 Has view of lake from porch, but you need to walk down the block for public access.It didn’t bother us no wifi or TV as our cell phones had service and could act as hotpots if we needed, but never used it!

    Great little cottage in an amazing location. Views of the water, nice quiet location. The owners were super responsive when we had to reach out. The cottage itself was so cute and super clean. Three adult women for three nights and then my 18 year old nephew joined us for the last night and we still had room. We loved it. Super homey and comfortable.

    My family and I chose this place because it's pet-friendly, close to the Washington Island ferry, and sensibly priced. We found out that there was more to our experience. The host, Sophie, is very friendly, helpful, and easy to reach out to.The cottage is very clean and stocked with everything you need for a joyful stay. The only thing we would have preferred would be a closer access to the public beach. However, it was not a deal-breaker in our case.

    Thank you for sharing your cottages with us! It felt good to be in peaceful and restful accommodations with just enough amenities to make our stay comfortable. Thank you for the cherry tart, too! It was delicious.

    This place is a bit too small for our family(two adults, a 1.5 year old, and two dogs). It might be good for a couple but we found it much smaller than expected. The doorways and hall opening are short so if you are close to 6' you will have to duck. The shower was tight but the worst part was the curtain didn't have magnets and was constantly touching you which is something simple managment can fix for the future. The cottages are also very close to one another which is not ideal if you have a dog that barks at people/other dogs or a young child that goes to bed early. We had one bedroom with a queen sized bed that was much shorter than a full. My feet were hanging off and I'm 5'5.

    This wonderful simple cabin is in a wonderful location. A quiet street that is easy to bike on. A 5 minute walk to a public park to watch the sunset, and easy access to parks and beaches. Sophie was a wonderful host and provided perfect instructions to access the cabin and had great suggestions of nearby places eat, swim, and hike. The cabin had everything we needed and was incredibly comfortable. Our dog was very happy with the spot too! We look forward to staying here again. Thank you again for everything!
