Not so nice....

Not as nice as the pictures show. Very old & could have been cleaner. We walked in to a musty smelling home. The futon in the living area is very uncomfortable, you can feel the frame under you as you sit. The mattresses in both bedrooms are also very thin & not very supportive. We had no TV for most of the week because we could not get a signal & when we did, we only got 1 channel. We were not told where the instructions to the older microwave were until the day before we left, so that was useless to us. The kitchen lacked a few utensils such as a vegetable peeler. There also are no large pots to boil water in.The best thing was the beach. The surrounding communities were very nice as well.

So far my family and I have stayed here twice and plan on coming back again! The location is wonderful, close to the beach, Swedish Bakery and not a bad drive to Chicago on a rainy day. We also love going into New Buffalo for dinner at several of their amazing restaurants. I also always stop at Barney's grocery to stock the fridge! The beach is clean and quiet even during peak season and so is the neighborhood. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing Lake Michigan beach vacation, no need to bring a lot of extras!
Owner response:I really appreciate your repeated visits,positive comments, and look forward to your upcoming stay. Hope you find your 2011 stay just as pleasant. Annie

The cottage is located in a very nice private setting - heavily wooded, and a short walk to a beach. Two cosy bedrooms, and a spacious kitchen with all amenities. Harbert is a beautiful community. We loved Gulistan reataurant (mediterrian) and pies from the Swedesh bakery. The owner is wonderful - we recieved a bottle of local vine as a welcome gift. Also, the owner sent us some items that my 4 y.o. daughter left behind. We were very pleased with the owner's polite and freindly nature. We would love to come back and stay here again!
Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and glad you received your items. Thanks for taking the time to give a review and hope you can visit again. Annie

My two daughters and I have stayed in this home three times over the last five years or so. We love the quaint feel of this cottage so near Lake Michigan. Well kept, well stocked and in a beautiful private beach association. This place is just a short walk to a beautiful private beach association. Staying here is a step back in time...no phone, no washer/dryer...but oh so relaxing and cozy. (laundromat close by in Sawyer, if you need to do laundry...this is also where you rent videos/dvds) We loved the location to the beach, the bakery and all the other quaint towns besides Harbert. We enjoy Capozios for dinner, Redamaks in New Buffalo anytime, and shopping in nearby Michigan City, Indiana. Great rental...
Owner response:Thank you so very much for taking the time to tell us that you enjoyed the cottage,Deb.It was really nice to see that you had a good time and enjoyed all the surrounding area.We really appreciate you as our guest and hope to see you in the future.Ever so grateful for the time you took to comment!!
