We had a great time staying at Irina’s little house. It had everything we needed for our short stay and the location allowed us to easily visit nearby coastal towns, orchards, beaches and make it back for a relaxing seat by the fire pit.

We had a wonderful stay at the Green Cottage in Glenn. The cottage was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the peaceful setting—it felt secluded and quiet while still being just a short drive from the beaches, Saugatuck, South Haven, and all the area’s attractions.The property itself is beautiful, with plenty of space to wander and enjoy the outdoors. In the evenings, we went to Casco Park to watch the sunset, which was a perfect way to end the day. The cottage had a warm, welcoming feel that made it easy to settle in and feel at home.Our host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience easy from beginning to end. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy Michigan’s lakeshore, we highly recommend the Green Cottage. We’d be happy to stay here again!

Super Cute, Great Location

Really enjoyed our stay in the quiet town of Glenn, Michigan. Our host was very nice and was a good local guide, her recommendations were great. House and appliances are a little old, but it makes up for that in it's charm and location! Would definitely come back!

This is such a gem! Not only are the hosts simply wonderful, but the location is perfect for having easy access to beach towns and the more rural vineyards and farms. Our host gave us awesome suggestions for area attractions that were a hit with our young kids. We were in South Haven in 15 mins easy! The property has great natural areas that have some deer and wild turkeys come through. The easy check in and check out was nice with excited kids along! This was our second time staying here and we hope to make a return visit soon!

We had an enjoyable stay. It was close to everything we wanted to see. The only drawback was the TV. You had to have your passwords with you in order to use the apps.

Michigan Getaway

The Green Cottage surpassed our expectations. The cottage is well maintained, bright, cheery and provided all that was needed during our stay. The location is exceptional for hiking, beaches, dunes & exploring all the area has to offer. We were fortunate to meet the hosts during stay. It was truly a pleasure. Bill & Brenda

Fabulous

This trip was perfection. The cottage is comfortable and adorable. The property is beautiful, with lots of birds serenading each morning. Easy access to many beaches and nearby towns. Irina was a most gracious hostess, who arranged everything I could want. She even arranged the weather to accommodate plenty of beach lounging, watching waves, and pretending to read. I highly recommend the little green cottage for a perfectly relaxing escape from real life.

Awesome Beach Towns

We had an awesome stay in South Haven. The property was clean and just as described. Our host, Irina was so sweet and kind. She makes home made wine for those who rent the cottage. We had the chance to meet her and she was lovely to talk to. She even left me fresh picked flowers one day and shared her fresh picked fruit with us. Couldn’t have asked for a better host. The area is very close to lots of beach towns and fun things to do. Lake Michigan is absolutely beautiful.

Sweet Cottage

My mom and I stayed here so that we could go to the Michigan Fiber Festival at the Allegan County Fair Grounds. It was about a 30-minute drive to the fairgrounds which was fine for us. The cottage is just as pictured and was very clean and exactly what we needed. There were some really cute places nearby to check out (definitely go by Sunset Junque) and the host was absolutely amazing! Very helpful and provided lots of ideas for places to check out in the area. The property itself was super pretty and Mom and I had a little fire one night as well. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

Quirky and comfy

This place was a perfect fit for our girls trip. The grounds were beautifully rustic and it was very quiet at night. The host Irina was in contact with us constantly and the check-in process was very easy. The only complaint was that did have a musty smell upon entry and there were some bugs, so probably not the best choice for those with asthma or respiratory issues. There is a dehumidifier to help with humidity and the host did respond when contacted about the bugs. We would definitely stay again!

A lot of humidity in the house, strong mold smell, and the furniture is very uncomfortable.On a positive note, the kitchen was well appointed. The air conditioning was great and appreciated.The wine bottle had been opened so we didn’t feel comfortable drinking it.Don’t appreciate having to do laundry, cleaning is included in the price.

Charming Cottage

We had a lovely stay at the Green Cottage. It was cozy, clean and far enough off the road for peace and quiet. I live in Chicago down the street from a firehouse and the sirens are earsplitting. My friend and I just wanted some quiet time, fresh air and some leaf peeping. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. It is close enough to Crane's Pies (which you MUST DO) and down the street from Sunset Antiques. The stay was too short. I will be returning for a longer stay. Our host Irina was so awesome. She checked in on us and gave great suggestions for hiking. I loved it.

Lovely experience and really great host!

We stayed for our summer vacation and it was great! Our host had really thought of everything and provided excellent tips and ideas in her notes and resources. We have two young boys (3 and 6) and they loved the farm that was suggested for a visit where they enjoyed playing with the barn cats and kittens. The location is great! We were in South Haven the most, which is a quick drive south down Blue Star. We were also able to get to other beach towns (Saugatuck, Holland, Douglas) and farmland areas (Fennville) with ease. The Glenn Store is super close and I walked it easily a few times - and their pizza is indeed good. The Glenn Restaurant has must-try biscuits and gravy. The house has a gorgeous yard. We saw wild turkeys and deer. The grill was easy to use! We were there during blueberry and peach season - amazing fresh fruit in every direction. The little ones appreciate the game/toy cabinet along with the large TV that had Netflix for them to enjoy. There were plenty of towels, dishes, and flatware. It was very easy to check out and the price for the area and the comfort worked with our budget. We hope we can stay again!
