We adored Hygge House, and hope to return! My two adult daughters and I enjoyed a blissful weekend together - the cottage is so lovely, comfy, cozy, and serene! The location can't be beat - a short walk to a beautiful, very clean beach (awesome to hang out all afternoon and great to watch the sunset, too) and a short drive to marvelous eateries (including Black Currant Bakehouse and Luisa's Swedish bakery/market - both yummy for breakfast) and Warren Dunes State Park, which has wonderful nature trails, dune climbing, and fun beach with lots of dogs. The house is very well-provisioned, including lots of beach towels and a nice wagon to carry stuff to the beach! The hosts are terrific, and we appreciated the extra touches such as the welcome bag full of treats!
Mimi - Posted: 9/7/2026

Thank you, Mimi! We’re so glad Hygge House was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend with your daughters. It sounds like you made the most of the beach, local favorites, and everything the area has to offer. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
Third Coast Vacations staff

We traveled with a 1 and 2 year old, so that's what my review is based on.
The space was great for a small family. Two pack n plays fit well in the second bedroom. The bathtub was nice and deep for soaking, but had a half glass panel, making it difficult to reach the knobs and bathe little ones. Not unmanageable, but worth mentioning.
The yard was amazing for little ones-quiet and fenced in. We enjoyed grilling out and eating outside.
The beach is very close, but note that there is a steep staircase to descend to get there. The private beach is very peaceful though.
A wagon, umbrella, chairs, towels and a few toys were provided which saves valuable packing space.
This cottage is great for families, and we will definitely stay again! Our whole family really enjoyed it.
Carla - Posted: 8/27/2026

Thank you, Carla! We’re so glad Hygge House was a great fit for your family and that you enjoyed the fenced-in yard, outdoor dining, and peaceful private beach. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback about traveling with little ones and will keep those suggestions in mind. It’s wonderful to hear your whole family enjoyed the stay, and we’d love to welcome you back!
Third Coast Vacations staff

Lovely, warm and cozy cabin on Lake Michigan, with a beautiful and spacious garden. House is incredibly well stocked for all your holiday needs (games, beach gear, towels) and it's just a short walk to the private-access beach.
Cam - Posted: 8/8/2026

We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was convenient, and everything we needed was easy to access. The host was responsive and made the entire process smooth from check-in to check-out. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
The private beach was awesome....Maybe 2 other families on the entire beach. Having an umbrella, beach chairs, and a wagon provided at the house was a big bonus. We come up every summer and normally stay in St. Joe or South Haven, but this location is our new favorite. Be sure to check out the Union Pier Social (restaurant/bar) which is less than a mile from the house and in our opinion had the best food and drinks. Beer Church Brewing was also great!. (Stray Dog is OK...great marketing, but average everything else). Whistle Stop had some great coffee, snacks and gourmet groceries. Also, lots of small micro breweries around. Will def be back!
Tim - Posted: 7/2/2026

Thank you!!! Fantastic place to relax with your Family.
Dariusz - Posted: 5/26/2026

I have to say it was great. The pictures really do not do the property justice. It was really a huge living room. Great fireplace great backyard pretty good location. Everything worked. I highly recommend. They really need better pictures so it looks so much better in person.
Michael - Posted: 4/3/2026

Michael, thanks for your comments and for coming from a photographer stating that pictures really do not do the place justice. We very much appreciate your kind words. Please come back again at another time of the year and enjoy other parts of Harbor Country you experienced in the spring now.

Very well-equipped cottage. We really enjoyed the fireplace! Beds comfy, well appointed bathrooms. Efficient and nicely decorated. Coffee pot had moldy grounds left behind.
Kerri - Posted: 3/1/2026

Kerri We love this house and can imagine a nice winter day with the snow coming down and the fire going. Our apologies on the coffee maker and will address it with our team.
Third Coast Vacations staff

Great house and great location. We will definitely recommend and return.
Lisa - Posted: 11/2/2025

The home was as described and was walkable to the Lake and great restaurants close by.
Brian - Posted: 10/25/2025

This is a comfortable, well-equipped home.
Karen - Posted: 10/13/2025

What a hidden gem of an area in SW Michigan! The private beach access was lovely. Surrounded by wildlife and mature trees makes the setting idyllic. The house was quaint and well laid out - it felt bigger than the pictures for sure. There is a train that goes by every now and again- it was no big deal for us as the trains are short and time sporadic. I would 100% stay in the area again and would utilize Third Coast Vacations.
Jennifer - Posted: 8/24/2025

A lovely beachy little spot with amazing natural light. So peaceful and beautiful. Adorable decor. Felt right at home.
Love the nearby access to the association beach, and the beach itself is a dream. Also thanks for the little gift bag of goodies upon arrival!
Olivia - Posted: 8/16/2025

Wonderful cottage close to the beach. Very quaint and cozy. Great place for a girls trip.
Lora - Posted: 7/13/2025

This house is amazing. The adorable cottage exterior leads to a surprisingly spacious and modern interior. The Kitchen is well stocked with good knives, big pans, and tubberware. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms feel very new and fresh. The best room is the living room, the sky lights do a lot of work to make the space bright and beautiful. Accessing the beach was confusing at first (we couldn't find the right path), but once we found it the beach was perfect. The backyard is enormous and feels so private despite being right off of Red Arrow highway. Great house.
Sasha - Posted: 6/28/2025

an all around amazing experience!
from the location, cleanliness and amenities.
all you need to bring is your clothes and food. the host made sure you have everything you need.
no detail left unturned, plenty of games for nights in also all you need to attend the private beach!
I will definitely recommend this location and return.
Isaias - Posted: 6/25/2025

We loved our stay! This home has absolutely everything you could need and is so close to the beach. We accidentally locked ourselves out and Third Coast was immediately responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again!
Kirsten - Posted: 6/22/2025

Amazing place in a beautiful location. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back!
Brian - Posted: 6/15/2025

This home is so cute and had everything that our guests could possibly need! Peaceful backyard full of wildlife. Home was immaculate. We were all very happy and would gladly return. Third Coast was very communicative and clear with all instructions.
Natasha - Posted: 6/9/2025

very nice and relaxing home. backyard was great for fires and playing, the walk to beach isnt bad but if your older or have really young children it could be difficult. but great home close to some good places to eat and everthing at the home to grill and cook yourself
Adam - Posted: 5/26/2025

We appreciated the local attention of real people. We think this is one of best cottages we have rented at this price pointMany items but the up to date kitchen and bath were very appreciated. The beach access was really nice.
timothy from Bourbonnais - Posted: 9/19/2024

Tho not the cheapest, it had high value - access to private beach, and a lovely home with a gorgeous backyard. It was restful, easy, comfortable, and FUN!

Great Labor Day Weekend!
Nicholas - Posted: 9/5/2024

I lived every moment about my stay. I was hosting a retreat for a client who had flown in for this experience and I wanted it to feel secluded and comfortable, it was all this and more!I’d be happy to recommend this cottage to other colleagues and friends - great for relaxing, lots of little nooks and space to work privately, read or chat.. We enjoyed the garden for private coaching, relaxing with a glass of wine by the fire and reading on the lounge chairs. The family room was like a hug - filled with light in the morning and cosy at night. We were blessed with great summer weather so didn’t light the fire inside and want to come back in the winter to check that out.
Alicia from Richland - Posted: 8/27/2024

Cozy house for our family. The kids loved the large backyard and outdoor games. Perfect location- very short walk to private beach and relaxing stroll to Whistle Stop. The house has everything you need and more. Highly recommend!
Jennifer - Posted: 8/22/2024

We can’t say enough great things about this place! The house is so comfortable and easy! The location is amazing. The quick walk to the beach and the 70 stairs (we counted them! They got easier every time!)
This was the most relaxing couple days we have had in a very long time! We can not wait to return!
Emmy - Posted: 7/25/2024

I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Hygge House. The cottage is lovely—precisely as described and pictured—actually, it might be more charming than the pictures convey. It is super well appointed, with all the supplies necessary to make for a comfortable home-away-from-home stay. Proximity and access to the gorgeous beach were the highlights for me. Remember to obtain the house number for the private beach entrance. Both the interior and exterior of the home are charming. The backyard sits on a major highway, so you will hear passing traffic when sitting out back. However, I'm a city girl, so I didn't find it too disruptive. The greenery is lush and gorgeous - so you don't see the passing cars. The private beach is AMAZING. The Third Coast team was super responsive - and even proactively communicated about potential severe weather one day, which was super helpful. In short - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Hygge House. I definitely plan to return!
Nina - Posted: 7/18/2024

We have been renting vacation homes in this area for years, this one by far is one of our favorites. Fenced in back yard for the kids! Close walk to a private beach! Just good all around. We will be back!
Agata - Posted: 7/7/2024

Great place ! Close walk to private beach. Great at place to hang out and relax with family and friends! Excellent!
Michael - Posted: 6/23/2024

Great Father's Day weekend at the Hygge House. The home was clean, beds comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped. Air and fans kept the place very comfortable on very hot days. There were. plenty of towels, chairs and beach toys. A wagon was provided if needed for the short walk to the beach. The outdoor space offered a variety of seating and shade. The home is close to Red Arrow, and there was occasional traffic noise in the yard, which was not noticeable in the home. The hosts were responsive to questions and provided info about local spots.
Ann - Posted: 6/17/2024

Hi Ann, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. You were a pleasure to have as our guest and I hope we can have you back soon!

This is our 2nd time here for catching up and R and R....didn't think twice....it was all comfort, cleanliness, quiet and peace! The house warms quickly, beds are comfy, bathroom is light & airy with a great magnifying mirror and lots of towels. Love the 5 burner stove, fam room skylights, windows everywhere, wooded lot, excellent reading light and satisfying Bluetooth speakers. I'd have stayed an extra day if I could have. Perfect and easy to keep clean. Loved it!

There is a train that goes by every now and again- it was no big deal for us as the trains are short and time sporadic. I would 100% stay in the area again and would utilize Third Coast Vacations.

A lovely beachy little spot with amazing natural light. So peaceful and beautiful. Adorable decor. Felt right at home.
Love the nearby access to the association beach, and the beach itself is a dream. Also thanks for the little gift bag of goodies upon arrival!

This house is amazing. The adorable cottage exterior leads to a surprisingly spacious and modern interior. The Kitchen is well stocked with good knives, big pans, and tubberware. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms feel very new and fresh. The best room is the living room, the sky lights do a lot of work to make the space bright and beautiful. Accessing the beach was confusing at first (we couldn't find the right path), but once we found it the beach was perfect. The backyard is enormous and feels so private despite being right off of Red Arrow highway. Great house.

an all around amazing experience!
from the location, cleanliness and amenities.
all you need to bring is your clothes and food. the host made sure you have everything you need.
no detail left unturned, plenty of games for nights in also all you need to attend the private beach!
I will definitely recommend this location and return.

We loved our stay! This home has absolutely everything you could need and is so close to the beach. We accidentally locked ourselves out and Third Coast was immediately responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again!

This home is so cute and had everything that our guests could possibly need! Peaceful backyard full of wildlife. Home was immaculate. We were all very happy and would gladly return. Third Coast was very communicative and clear with all instructions.

very nice and relaxing home. backyard was great for fires and playing, the walk to beach isnt bad but if your older or have really young children it could be difficult. but great home close to some good places to eat and everthing at the home to grill and cook yourself

We appreciated the local attention of real people. We think this is one of best cottages we have rented at this price pointMany items but the up to date kitchen and bath were very appreciated. The beach access was really nice.

I lived every moment about my stay. I was hosting a retreat for a client who had flown in for this experience and I wanted it to feel secluded and comfortable, it was all this and more!I’d be happy to recommend this cottage to other colleagues and friends - great for relaxing, lots of little nooks and space to work privately, read or chat.. We enjoyed the garden for private coaching, relaxing with a glass of wine by the fire and reading on the lounge chairs. The family room was like a hug - filled with light in the morning and cosy at night. We were blessed with great summer weather so didn’t light the fire inside and want to come back in the winter to check that out.

Cozy house for our family. The kids loved the large backyard and outdoor games. Perfect location- very short walk to private beach and relaxing stroll to Whistle Stop. The house has everything you need and more. Highly recommend!

We can’t say enough great things about this place! The house is so comfortable and easy! The location is amazing. The quick walk to the beach and the 70 stairs (we counted them! They got easier every time!)
This was the most relaxing couple days we have had in a very long time! We can not wait to return!

I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Hygge House. The cottage is lovely—precisely as described and pictured—actually, it might be more charming than the pictures convey. It is super well appointed, with all the supplies necessary to make for a comfortable home-away-from-home stay. Proximity and access to the gorgeous beach were the highlights for me. Remember to obtain the house number for the private beach entrance. Both the interior and exterior of the home are charming. The backyard sits on a major highway, so you will hear passing traffic when sitting out back. However, I'm a city girl, so I didn't find it too disruptive. The greenery is lush and gorgeous - so you don't see the passing cars. The private beach is AMAZING. The Third Coast team was super responsive - and even proactively communicated about potential severe weather one day, which was super helpful. In short - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Hygge House. I definitely plan to return!

We have been renting vacation homes in this area for years, this one by far is one of our favorites. Fenced in back yard for the kids! Close walk to a private beach! Just good all around. We will be back!

Great Father's Day weekend at the Hygge House. The home was clean, beds comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped. Air and fans kept the place very comfortable on very hot days. There were. plenty of towels, chairs and beach toys. A wagon was provided if needed for the short walk to the beach. The outdoor space offered a variety of seating and shade. The home is close to Red Arrow, and there was occasional traffic noise in the yard, which was not noticeable in the home. The hosts were responsive to questions and provided info about local spots.

This is our 2nd time here for catching up and R and R....didn't think twice....it was all comfort, cleanliness, quiet and peace! The house warms quickly, beds are comfy, bathroom is light & airy with a great magnifying mirror and lots of towels. Love the 5 burner stove, fam room skylights, windows everywhere, wooded lot, excellent reading light and satisfying Bluetooth speakers. I'd have stayed an extra day if I could have. Perfect and easy to keep clean. Loved it!
