A Great Place!

My husband and I stayed at the Carriage House and had such a great week! The place was pleasant, bright, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, the gas grill, and access to the host's deck and private beach. Hoping to come back again!

Delightful Carriage House with Lake Michigan access

Spent five days at this lovely property. Everything was amazing, spacious for two but could sleep four easily. Beautiful setting as part of a beautiful Lake Michigan estate. Access to the lake and a beach if you wanted. Close to American Dunes golf course and loads of road biking. Great location to explore West Michigan.

Lake Michigan Cottage

Melissa & Bob, We enjoyed are stay at your lovely lake cottage very much. It was very comfortable, clean, and right on the lake. It was perfect for us, and a great spot to explore the coast as well. They were also kind enough to leave us some local "goodies". Thank you for sharing your lovely Carriage House.

The Carriage House is FIRST RATE

This is a lovely property on Buchanan Beach in Grand Haven. The cottage is clean, just a stone's throw from the beach (you can see the water from the back porch and the rear windows), and fully equipped. First rate in every way! Cannot wait to return!!!
