Amazing little cottage!

Came with my best friend for a few days away and were so happy with our stay-we were trying to figure out to stay forever! The cottage was incredibly comfortable and sweet, with everything you could need, and was decorated so nicely. The owners were amazing and incredibly attentive. We cannot wait to come back!

Lakeside cottage

We loved the cottage! It was beautifully decorated and supplied with everything we needed for our week. It was nice to be able to take advantage of the warmer weather days by sitting on the three season porch. The location was within minutes of a number of antique shops and great restaurants.

An Oasis

What a great place to get away from our day to day world. We so enjoyed our stay! The layout and the furnishings were ideal. The Union Pier, New Buffalo & Sawyer areas offered just enough to do (but not so much to leave us exhausted)! We would definitely recommend it. — Bob & Susan, Arlington TX

Great Oasis!

We very much enjoyed spending time at the Dunedin Cottage. The cottage was cozy and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed reading a book on the screened in porch when the weather was bad. Their backyard was really our oasis. It was so quiet and provided that rest and relaxation we were looking for away from all the city noise.

This is a lovely and convenient home. We were there during some pretty extreme heat, so we didn't end up enjoying time on the porches. We'll hopefully be back during slightly cooler weather!

Beach cottage

Charming cottage. Short walk to the beach. Fenced in yard was a plus for my dog. No dogs allowed at the beach but Warren Dunes State Park is nearby which allows dogs. Comfortable beds. It was a bit chilly for our stay, gas fireplace was lovely. Loved that it was in between New Buffalo and St Joe for the food options. Would definitely stay again. Great hosts. Thank you!

Love this rental! The house is comfortable and roomy with a big back yard. Lots of amenities. We enjoyed the big kitchen and eating area for our family. The screened in porch was great for playing boardgames at night. Our dogs loved exploring their large, fenced in property. Most of all, the location is ideal...a quick walk to a spectacular sunset view and beach at the end of Pier Street. Also, so many wineries, breweries and local shops nearby.

Family time

We came to Michigan to spend time with a family member who is declining in a nursing home. This home was perfect for what our needs were. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe. If the weather would have been better we would have spent a lot more time on the enclosed deck. The kitchen had everything that we needed. There were plenty of sites to visit within 30 minutes.

Leeann

Everything was very nice. The only downside was the main bathroom sick was smaller than a hubcap. The screeed porch had holes in the door and the furniture was very dusty. I’m not sure if we were the first ones to go out there, but we had to wipe everything down and shake out the dust. Other than that it was lovely.

Charming and relaxing

This was a wonderful stay. The hosts were very fast to respond to all communication. The home was clean, comfortable, and charming. The area was known to us from prior visits to southwest Michigan, and met our expectations for proximity to public lake access and nearby businesses. The property was dog friendly with a good sized fenced yard. There is one lower height spot in the fence that might be a problem for a jumper, but it was no issue for our dogs. It was a nice surprise to find the property decorated for Christmas, which we hadn't expected and really enjoyed.

A great place to stay!

This cottage is lovely, clean spacious and in a very quiet neighborhood. My friend and I spent the week here as we live in different states and wanted to have some fun together and catch up. There is a great screened in porch on the side of the house with a ceiling fan which is a wonderful place to hang out on, on hot days. The gardens are lovely and the back garden is quite large. My dog was very happy with that. The hosts were very responsive to any needs we had. All in all we had a very pleasant stay and are happy that we chose this particular cottage.

Needed to get away and found the perfect spot!

Judy and Peter were wonderful hosts! They were always available when you needed them. Getting access to the home was simple. Beautiful home and I especially loved the kitchen, did a lot of cooking in there. Loved the fireplace and outdoor space as well.
