We had a great family vacation at the Pond Cottage. The cottage is close to the water so you can hear the waves as you sleep. Very clean and beds were comfortable. Also, great location for getting around town.
Visiting The Pond Cottage was a fantastic experience. It was better than the pictures. It was so relaxing and beautiful. The cabin was very clean and there was everything you need and more. If you need a beach fix, i highly recommend.

Absolutely a fabulous cottage that is private and beautifully located on Lake MI
I highly recommend this beautiful and secluded cottage on a great walking beach. The house is very cozy with a true cottage feel and perfect screened porches practically on the water. It’s not fancy but well appointed including high speed internet. Very clean and well kept. Management company is easy to work with great communication. I’ve rented extensively around the US and this was a top 5 experience. Couldn’t be more glowing.
Great place to spend a summer vacation. Right on the water and just 15 minutes from Sheboygan. Amazing place.

Relaxing atmosphere with beach and woodlands
The cottage is clean with cozy decorations. Jeremy has excellent communication so everything would be perfect for our stay. The screened in porch gives a 180 degree view of beach and Lake Michigan. Absolutely amazing! Quiet woods surround the entry to the cottage. Ideal for people who love sandy beach, swimming, and viewing wildlife such as eagles, turkeys, and deer. Wonderful vacation for us!
Just wanted to get away and relax from the daily stress. This was just what we needed. Secluded and quiet, we were able to just listen to the waves of the lake, read, and walk on the private beach. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay.

Private cottage, fantastic sandy beach, 2 screened porches on Lake Michigan
Large soft sandy beach directly on Lake Michigan. Beautiful views from the 2 screened porches while you're listening to the waves rolling in. So peaceful and relaxing, a great place to unwind. The cottage is very clean, lots of windows for getting fresh air, charming log cabin feel and tasteful decor. Very comfortable furniture, I'm tall and Really Appreciate that! The cottage has absolutely everything you would need, plus extras like 2 coffee stations, very well stocked kitchen, bath products, gas grill, bonfire pit and wood. I can't wait to return!
Stunning view, well outfitted cottage, and peaceful location. Highly recommend! The location is secluded, yet easy access to groceries, a bakery with delicious sweets, and a neighborhood restaurant with a dynamite breakfast.
The property itself and location is perfect. Clean, cozy and comfortable. It is right on the beach. The screen porches are a wonderful spot for watching the waves. The manager and caretaker do a fantastic job of taking care of the property. Thank you for such a wonderful long family weekend.
The Pond Cottage is a true gem. We loved the proximity to the beach! Started and ended our day on the amazing the screened in patio with the sound of waves crashing. You can just tell how much thought and care is put into this place, from the cleanliness to the ample sleeping arrangements for larger families. We will definitely be back!

Worth every penny!
I cannot express how much I love this cottage! It’s like taking a step back in time but with all the modern amenities. The perfect place to escape and create new memories with a beautiful sandy beach, campfires, solitude and nature. What could be better? Plenty of parks, museums and restaurants within a short drive as well. The cottage was fully stocked along with some thoughtful extra touches. It’s my new “happy place.”

Than you so much for this awesome review Sara! We are so happy you found us!!!
We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this lovely cottage. It had everything we needed plus numerous thoughtful details, like nightlights and power strips. The beach is gorgeous. We also were lucky to see several deer as we drove to and from the cottage. Hope to be back!
We loved our stay here. The location was absolutely PERFECT. We will absolutely be returning! A couple notes to visitors:1. Make sure you know the passcode and wifi before you arrive - there is no service at the cottage. 2. There are no laundry facilities. We didn't stay long, so it didn't impact us. May be something to consider if you are staying longer.

Girls Getaway
The Pond Cottage is pure Americana. The cabin still has authentic wood finishes that transport you to 1980s lake life. Everything is in great condition and comfortable.
We came up for a women's retreat, and enjoyed the GORGEOUS views from the screened porch. The beach was clean and soft, but the water was too cold to swim.
We enjoyed a few restaurants in Sheboygan and Kohler and spent tons of time chatting on the porch.... highly recommend for a private, restful getaway.

We stayed in July 2024 - there was a good amount of sandy beach . We loved having it all to ourselves for several days! This is the cleanest cottage I have ever stayed at. They seemed to have thought of everything! Amazing views of the lake from every spot. Loved it!
