There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. The amenities are wonderful. A great back yard with a hot tub and close to beaches. The kids and the adults had agreat time.
Love the place, so relaxing. Every activity you could think of doing available at the house and a short drive from the beach. The bakery a couple of blocks away is a must!
Our large extended family was staying at the Prairie Club & several of us had to find other places to sleep. This cottage was perfect. It was great to have a place so close. The hot tub & firepit was a great way to unwind.
We enjoyed this trip so much and were delighted that it was so close to the bike path. We brought bikes, but needed a couple more, and it was so convenient having bikes right there to use. One of our favorite memories was biking to the beach each evening!
Loved the cottage! Back porch and yard are great. Quiet street and close to Warren Dunes state park, several small beaches, Sawyer Garden Center, restaurants, and more! We drove 45 minutes to South Haven which had beautiful beach/pier/lighthouse and great shopping and food.
We had an amazing time.The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There were plenty of towels and bedding. The location was perfect. Close to Warren dunes and Cherry beach. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch. The backyard was huge with several sitting areas and large dining table. The hot tub looked great but unfortunately the weather was way too hot , above 90 , to enjoy.
We had a very delightful stay and communications with Lynn were excellent. The chilly weather made the hot tub a wonderfully relaxing experience. The cottage is so cozy with a super comfy couch for watching movies. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds all very comfortable. We loved our extended weekend here and it was very hard to convince ourselves to leave!
We had a great time, the house was wonderful along with all of the amenities. The proximity to the lake, beaches and hiking trails were great as well. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely visit again!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. They had games and things for the kids and it was located on a quiet street. It’s a great location close to restaurants, Warren dunes, and Harbert beach. Loved the screened in porch and hot tub too!
The most perfectly relaxing beach house in an amazing location. The host Lynn was very responsive and thought of everything you could possibly need to have a wonderful family vacation! We’d love to come back every year!
Beautiful well
Kept cottage in Harbert Michigan. Close to beaches, restaurants, and breweries. The owner supplies beach chairs, bikes, hot tub, full kitchen with spices and coffee. Awesome weekend with friends!!
The location of the home is perfect - walking distance to restaurants & the beach (about 15 minutes). House is stocked with everything you may need & the yard is AWESOME!!! The host Lynn was responsive. Highly recommend this house for family or friend trips alike.
We converged at the cottage from many far flung locations, 4 adult family members who rarely get to connect in person, along with day visitors with 2 young ones from South Bend. The place was perfect for long conversations, moving from living room to porch to outside. It felt like we were home! Fantastic middle eastern food just across the street, easy access to beach sunsets, plenty of room to rest, and ease of taking the bikes for a relaxing spin made this a spot we will long remember.
The house was stocked with everything we needed which was great. Disappointed that one of the bikes had a flat tire that we couldn’t use, and the bunk bedroom was too hot for my son to sleep in, so he had to sleep with my other son in the additional room- but it all worked out and we enjoyed the house overall and location.

About the host
Hosted by Lynn Farrell
This house is our happy place. It is the type of cottage we always went to as kids. Charming and quaint. The screen porch is a wonderful place to have your morning coffee and listen to the birds or play board games in the evening. We have tried to keep the simple cottage feel.
