The property was wonderful!!! It was in an extremely peaceful location. We loved walks on the beach and sitting out by the lake in the mornings. Also the main room had a beautiful view even if you were not outside. I also loved the decor! Everything was so fitting of a lake cottag! It also was a reasonable distance from many great locations! Great, peaceful central hub for our adventures!!! Alan was a wonderful host! He was very good and quick on communication! We would gladly stay there again.

Everything was excellent and Alan was easy to communicate with. Bedroom was a bit small with little space between the walls and the bed. I’m 6’3” with size 13 feet and 81 years old, so navigating the bedroom during the night was challenging. Cottage had great views of Lake Michigan and was very well equipped. My wife and I highly recommend the place!

Our hosts paid special attention to all the little details. We were looking to get away for a couple of days. It turned out the weather could not have been better. We took advantage of the kayaks, bicycles, badminton, beach walking and we ventured out to Port Washington. Since we mostly ate "in" we found the nearby Piggly Wiggly indispensable.

The perfect retreat at the end of our Lake Michigan circle tour. Beautiful beach front plenty of places to relax. The cottage has huge windows where the sunrise is amazing we sat and watched the waves and the seagulls. The host was easy to communicate with and no problems with entering the property. So many bonuses they stocked the fridge with water the freezer with ice and left snacks which all was so thoughtful and appreciated. We would definitely vacation here again.

The property was clean. The location was perfect. The only drawback was there wasn’t air conditioning in the bunk house so it was hot in there. They did supply fans for the bunkhouse. The host were amazing. If we had any issues all we had to do was text. We will be staying here again if we get back up to Wisconsin.

Traveling from Southeast Missouri, we arrived at the property and it looked exactly as pictured. The water was beautifully green and blue as shown. The cabin, furnishings, and amenities (games) were great also. We booked the property with the intent to get away and relax and that’s exactly what we did. We will definitely stay again!

Our visit was perfect! The cozy cottage provided the best views of Lake Michigan with what felt like a private beach all to ourselves. The hosts provided a clean house, kitchen was stocked with everything we needed (dishes, silverware, cups, etc.) and extra amenities like snacks, water, and fire pit accessories. We will absolutely be visiting again!

Small but cozy. Wasn't expecting bunk beds to be separate from the actual cottage but I may have missed this in the original posting.Loved the amenities. Spent alot of time by the fire and enjoyed the access to kayaks.Did not like the water in cottage as it had a very strong rotten egg smell.

Thank you to all our wonderful guests. Unfortunately this particular guest snuck in extra people which put us over capacity, also there was some theft and carpet stains, he was sent a very small charge for this and he retaliated with this bad review.

Alan and Linda were wonderful hosts. The views were amazing and the peace was what we were looking for. We wanted a quiet, relaxing place to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday and this was perfect. We grilled out, lit a fire by the beach and made s’mores. We biked and played cornhole. The only issue we had was that we didn’t book for a longer stay. We are already planning our next stay.
