Shipwatch was everything we wanted in a family rental. It was just big enough for our family of five. Things were thought out and the extra treats, gas grill and campfire supplies were great. We would love to visit again!

A great little get-a-way

Beautiful property (fully stocked), attentive hosts, plenty to do and see, beaches were always perfect and plenty to choose from! We did encounter some technical difficulties, completely out of their control. The hosts, and VRBO, were very accommodating to get us through and everything ended up just fine. Overall, a beautiful time away to see more of what Michigan offers.

Everything was perfect and then some. The host went out of her way to make sure everything was as we needed. She even called during a storm and offered to bring down their generator if the power went out. We will be back!

Kellye was a fabulous host! She communicated with us and left the lights on when she knew we’d be later than expected due to Canada traffic. The communication throughout was fabulous. The house was adorable, well equipped and clean. The extra details were so appreciated. We loved the s’mores/snack kit and found the info book about the area to be full of wonderful suggestions. We took advantage of as many as we could in our short stay. We wish we could’ve stayed longer! Thank you for being such an outstanding host! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful cottage and it’s fabulous owner.

Great stay!!!

Enjoyed our stay here immensely. The home was clean, comfortable, nice quiet location (although we had to deal with some construction noise that is NOT a normal occurrence so no reflection on the owners) Nice well stocked kitchen, but we were only here for short stay and didn't cook a meal there. We did cook on the grill and that worked fine. Kellye is a great host, always available, and encouraged us to come out and enjoy the sunsets which were beautiful. We originally booked this home for a family reunion for 5 aging siblings. Unfortunately 3 sisters could not make it so was just my brother and I. The place might have been a little crowded had all 5 of us been there but was perfect for the 2 of us and would be fine for more. I love the area and would love to return here.

Shipwatch Cottage

Husband and I stayed at the Shipwatch Cottage 7/8/24 to 7/12/24. The property was immaculate inside and out and was equipped with really anything you might need or could want. Also, the WIFI was fast and solid. Perfect for a rain day. The property is surrounded by woodlands and as advertised, has a stupendous Lake Michigan view. It is easy to get to and from with good roads all around yet very, very peaceful and quiet. The property owners were very cordial and made every effort to ensure that we lacked nothing during our stay. In addition to the printed directory of attractions, activities, beaches, etc. located in the cottage, the owners provided their personal take on things to do in the area. Very helpful! All-in-all, we felt this property was by far the best we have stayed at in roughly 10 years of exploring western Michigan. We highly recommend the Shipwatch Cottage and offer our thanks to Kellye & Bill.

Most serene place on Earth

I absolutely adored this cottage. I was looking for a place to rest and recharge and boy was this it!! The cottage has everything you need and I especially appreciated the hosts attention to detail. The art and whimsy was also lovely. My memories of sitting in the white chairs on the bluff watching the sunset and butterflies will stay with me forever. Amazing place.
