We felt right at home. The kitchen is very nice and new. The front yard was perfect for letting our dog out! We enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood.

Cozy cottage near the beach
Great cottage with everything you need for a fun and relaxing time in Harbor Country. You'll love the updates, good communication with the host, and all the great amenities -- especially the short walk to the beach!

Great at communication and location of rental.The location was excellent. The decor was really cute. The outdoor space was very good. We loved being able to bring our dog.We enjoyed a few area restaurants: Emma Hearth in Bridgman, Black Currant Bakehouse, and Bougie Boards. All were excellent. Also shopped at Barney's in New Buffalo for groceries. Nice store.

Exactly What We Needed
The owner was super fast and responsive via text. We wanted a spacious spot that had a fireplace/fire pit, close to the lake, with room for multiple adults, our toddler, and a dog...and this location was exactly what we needed. The living area being in the back area was a perfect layout so the adults could stay up late playing board games without waking the toddler in the other room. The kitchen was plenty stocked with supplies we needed to make breakfast/meals.

Great responsiveness and personal detail to each rental.The place was wonderful. My only caveat is that the kitchen is somewhat limiting - no dishwasher and limited counterspace.Proximity to lake, separate living space in basement, fans, fully fenced yard for the dogs

The process was simple. When we had an issue, we called and they came out same day We loved walking to gelato, bakery. We went blueberry picking. Relaxed on the beach. We loved Skips farmers market too.

Excellent Location for a Quaint Vacation
The accommodation were very close to Lake Michigan and the activities we wanted to do on our stay. As a family we wanted to kayak, horseback trail ride through the woods, and enjoy the lake in a quaint and quiet location. The amenities were well kept up in the house. The second bedroom and master bedroom were switched from the diagram however it was nice to have two bedrooms and two bathrooms for our three person family. The renovations that were complete were wonderful! Thank you for a well kept vacation location!
