The house was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach took us about 10-15 minutes. There is also the option to drive to the park, which was much easier when we wanted to bring all our beach stuff. Highly recommend visiting Bortell’s for some fried fish - glad we got a visit in before they closed for the season!

The location wasjust right. We had easy access to a private beach on Lake Michigan and surrounding towns. The kitchen was well furnished with appliances and whatever you needed to create a great meal. The house was very clean and pretty. A lovely covered porch and nice landscaping really made our stay very enjoyable.

House was very clean and decorated nicely. Walk to the beach was a little far with all our gear. Definitely better to drive and use the park to park at and just use the association’s property which directly borders the park. Wish there was a cabinet or pantry to store our food for the week but there was none. All cabinets were so full so we had to keep our food on the counter tops and in the bins we bought them in. Not an huge deal but would have been nice to keep it out of the way. Overall nice property not too far from Pentwater or Silver Lake. Would stay here again.

Loved the proximity to the neighborhood beach with just a short walk. Robin and Bob were also very kind to give us a bottle of wine for our stay and a nice card since we were there on our honeymoon.

Adorable Cottage, Loved it!

This cottage was super cute and fit our family’s needs perfectly. It was close to Hart, and Mear’s / Pentwater State park which is an amazing little town. We used the Cedar Point Park each day which was beautiful!! The owner’s did stay in the camper on the back of the property but we had no issues and hardly seen them. I have recommended this to friends for a future rental.
