Very clean, well decorated, comfortable, spacious kitchen with plenty of cooking supplies and lots of counter space for cooking. Every time I stay there seems to be an additional update to something. There was a new brick fire pit and outdoor chairs this last time. The pool is excellent, refreshing just to look at! Close to different towns for shopping as well as a Meijer just around the corner

We spent 4 days/3 nights at Sunset Path. It was a warm, comfy and inviting get away.Beautiful views of one of the glacial lakes of Grand Mere State Park and easy access to a private sandy beach cove on Lake Michigan.Although the weather was chilly for enjoying the on-site pool, we enjoyed the Hot Tub!!The lodging was comfortable and well appointed from good cutlery and cooking utensils to TV, games and space to stretch out.This cottage had easy access to Harbor Country activities. We had a comfortable, relaxing springtime get away.Would highly recommend Sunset Path Cottage for a friends and family get away!

What an amazing weekend at The Lake House! A friend and I were able to sneak away for a girls weekend and this place couldn’t have been any better for it. Shelly was an amazing and super helpful host! She gave me a tour at check in and checked in on us several times during our stay. Check out was also easy with only quick tidying requested. The weather ended up being colder than expected, but the individual thermostats around the house kept it super cozy. It did make for PERFECT weather for the hot tub though and that was lovely. The private beach gave us two gorgeous sunsets (which Shelly so kindly updated us on sunset time) and the views from the backyard were so peaceful. I hope to get a chance to stay here in the summer, but we’d definitely stay here this time a year again too!

We had an awesome weekend trip at the Lake House. We loved sitting in the hot tub and enjoyed how relaxing and peaceful it was. The view from the deck was amazing and great for our morning coffee. The private beach on Lake Michigan was a short walk from the house, we were able to walk down and enjoyed watching the waves and sunset. The home was very clean and well appointed, the beds were very comfy. Shelly and Marc were very communicative and made sure we settled in and didn’t have any questions. I hope we can return and stay again soon!
