WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING
We had a great stay! We walked to the beach and spent lovely long days on the beach. The sunsets a block away were beautiful. The town was also within walking distance so we spent time there as well. The house was open and spacious and good for our group to gather.

REVIEWS
Great location. The house was perfectly clean in every detail, towels and linens too. It was 90F+ in Illinois, but this cottage right by Lake Michigan was comfortable even without AC (I like the old school vibe). There were enough fans as needed, and the house is tucked in a nice dune valley among the trees so it doesn't get pounded by sunlight to make it hot. The kitchen was fantastic, plenty of room to hang out and play games, back porch to come in from the beach, wash off, and ditch your beach stuff. Just a very short walk to the fantastic Grand Haven beach, and a short drive, or bike ride to town. Communication from the management was always quick and accurate. Thank you!

Good communication from Unsalted Vacations. House was well equipped and clean. Clear instructions for check in/ check out. Charming old cottage in a historic neighborhood. Worked well for our family of 8. Really enjoyed the screened porch. Easy walk to the beach. Was cool at night with the fans on. We enjoyed our time there.

    Wonderful place to stay. I’m older so the steps weren’t fun. But I knew this when I rented it.

    We loved the quiet cottage, hidden in the woods. Just a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute drive into town! The cottage was clean, and we loved the open kitchen. I would definitely visit again.

    We truly enjoyed the quirky charm of the cottage. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable with great pillows and bedding. Loved the deer outside our window, short walk or drive to the lake. Lack of sound privacy didn’t bother us, but maybe would others.

    There were many things we loved about this cottage: short walk to the beach, sunset lookout, close to the heart of town, the 'great room' feel of the first floor with its private spaces in the TV room and the dining area and bar. However, the humidity will eventually ruin this place. It really needs some window AC units to cut down the humidity as it gets very little breeze because of its location in the dunes. At the very least every bedroom needs ceiling fan, and there should be more on the first floor as well. Secondly, the window sills were disgustingly dirty. They could have been wiped clean at the beginning of the season or between rentals. Hope some comfort improvements can be made as this is a great cottage.

    Great place with lots of space for everyone. Nice amenities. Biggest downside is opening/closing doors is very loud and the walls are very thin here. Short distance to the beach.

    Very nice lake cabin. Only a few minutes walk to the beach. There is no air conditioning or furnace, which is listed, but it did get cold at night and warm during the day. There are some space heaters and plenty of fans which helped. Also, just fyi, you can hear everything within the cabin! It was fine, but if you want privacy from your other guests, it will be hard. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and recommend this lake cabin.

    Quiet location, yet close to everything. Clean and adequately stocked for a quick beach retreat with the girls. Worried about no AC, but the shade and breezes kept the house very comfortable.
