Mid Oaks Cottage

It’s a lovely cottage in the woods with a short walk or drive to Lake Michigan

House was extremely clean and had all the supplies needed. The only recommendation we have would have is to make the path from the house to Old Channel Trail (road that leads to beach access) clearly marked and free of poison ivy. The beach is only a 1/4 mile from the house so is easily within walking distance. Despite this, we would and hopefully will be able to rent Mid Oaks again. Thanks to the owners for making Mid Oaks available and to Rochelle for being so responsive during our stay!

The home has a fabulous location and is well appointed. Loads of fun things provided that we didn’t even know we needed. Our grandchildren came for dinners and there were toys and books for them to enjoy. The big hit though was the red high stool that my three year old granddaughter claimed as her seat at the table. I had some lovely conversations with the property manager who was very responsive.

We enjoyed a one week stay at Mid Oaks with the purpose to relax. The picture window was one of the best features for the view of Lake Michigan through the trees and a perfect table to do a puzzle on in front of it. We usually drove to the beach access road by Old Channel Inn which had easy parking on weekdays.There is no TV but the wifi worked for streaming and there is a collection of CD's to listen to. The inside was clean and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. We would stay again!

lake access is miss leading. Walking to lake not safe from this property. Steep hill no trail comes to road at dangerous curve. House is not well-maintained rotten wood in a couple of places. Ceiling fan /in living room didn't work killed at least a dozen large spiders' dead mouse on basement floor looked like it a been there a while.

This classic, 3 bedroom cottage has a big deck, big front yard, and well equipped kitchen. Short walk or drive to quiet (even on Labor Day weekend) and lovely Lake Michigan beach. Surrounded by giant oak trees, just as the name Midoaks suggests. Great, restful weekend for us.

Charming home on a quiet little street with a beautiful secluded beach nearby.

Mid Oaks is a charming little 1940s cabin. Beds and linens were nice. Well stocked kitchen. Comfy cozy. Nice location. View a bit less than expected, but decent. Fireplace was a nice addition, as it was rainy and chilly a good portion of our visit. Beach access was a super quick drive. Channel Inn super nice little place for dinner…. Staff were so friendly and food solid. Very close also. Holland is only an hour away. This cabin has/had septic tank/plumbing issues, as we frequently got whiffs of sewer gas, inside and out. Apparently this is going to be fixed soon. Also had to clean out the fireplace-as it was quite full of old ash and charcoal- pretty pungent. All aside….. darling place!

The house was super clean. The main bathroom was modern and updated. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The nearby beach was wonderful and we practically had the place to ourselves (our visit was in August). A head's up that the path to the beach goes down a very steep hillside with a narrow footpath. We were fine, but you might not want to send Grandma walking down it. :) There was also parking for about 6 cars down by the beach and space to drop people off- so that's an option.

Loved our stay here. The cottage was exactly as described and many amenities were provided. The beds are super comfortable and we really enjoyed just hanging out together. Just pay attention to the very late (4:00 pm) check in time and the very early (10:00 am) check out time. Also, even though we paid a hefty cleaning fee, we were still expected to strip beds, wash towels, etc, and be out as early at 10:00 am - and there are people waiting to make sure that you are out exactly at 10:00 - that seemed a tad bit creepy but I did appreciate the management letting us get in a bit early (3:30) so that we could make an evening event.
