    Such a cute property with a ton of amenities. Owners have thought of everything and then some. A lot of little nice touches for a great experience. Good location to get to and from South Haven. Bike path nearby was great to get around with active kids. Ended up being a really great spot for our fall break get-away!

    I love to travel and have stayed at many places all over the country. This little cottage by far has been the best in regards to being well stocked with everything we could have needed and it was decorated nicely. One could definitely see that the owners put a lot of time and thought into everything. The owners were very easy to communicate with and were very helpful and quick to respond to my questions. The location was great, we hiked up to see the lake and everything we wanted to visit was a short drive away. I definitely recommend this place!

    We do a lot of VRBO's and this has been by far the most well stocked up house we have ever stayed at. Owners have literally thought of everything to make this the perfect family getaway. House was sparkling clean, all in tact and absolutely perfect. Kiddos did not want to go home. Thank you for everthing!

    From the time I applied to stay until the day we checked out, everything went flawlessly. Drew is super personable and is there for you in case you need anything. The house is beautiful and decorated nicely. Everything was there for us to have an amazing Thanksgiving with my family. The guesthouse worked great for my son and his fiancé and my new grandson to have privacy and a quiet place to get away so the baby could rest. The proximity to the lake is great, make a right hand turn outside the door and a small hike to the lake. We would stay there again without any doubts. Thanks for a great experience, my family and I were very satisfied.

    Our trip unfortunately resulted in more rain than we planned, but we weren’t upset about staying in given how cozy the home is + all the board games provided. Its location is a quick drive to downtown and a short walk to the beach. I would recommend this place if you have a large group to entertain!

    We stayed in the main house with our two kids and my parents got the little guest cottage. Perfect set up for a larger group. Lots of toys and books for the kids to play with. Short walk up the dune to watch sunsets. Only downside was no dishwasher. Great place!!!

    We only got to stay for 2 short nights but it was an amazing home. So adorable. The private beach was not as easy to access as we were hoping but South Haven beach was less than 10 mins away. Location was perfect, super private! Would love to go back!
