After your sunny day at the fine sandy Lake Michigan shores come back to the cottage to relax with your favorite beverage. Sit out on the patio looking out to the expansive courtyard. At night, stroll back to the beach taking in its wonderful tree lined path to watch the stunning sunset and marvel at the starry night sky.

Besides Berrien Beach, the Warren Dunes is about 15 minutes away. In May, check out the Tulip Festival in Holland. Spend a day kayaking or fishing in the beautiful Galien River. Come in the Fall for the bountiful pumpkins. Year round there are art festivals, wine festivals, fall color changes and winter skiing. This area is not just a summer place!

We enjoyed our stay here. It's back behind the first of the three condos and it took me a minute to find. But just me not following instructions. Fun place. Small but felt large. And cannot beat the beach access!

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and found the beach access convenient. We find being tucked away from the main streets provides a little seclusion but a short distance from many attractions. We look forward to welcoming you again.

We enjoyed the clean cottage stocked with everything we needed ( including a very convenient Keurig coffee maker ), and a lovely new large shower! Everything was perfect ! The location was great too; an easy walk to the lovely beach, and located just around the corner from Whistle Stop, where we enjoyed some delicious breakfasts!

Darling place for a single traveler, everything I needed. Awesome shower! Only a block from Union Pier public beach access. Steps from Whistle Stop coffee & market. Convenient parking.

The bungalow was darling!! Had everything you could need & shower was amazing!! Great location too! Would definitely comeback! Only thought was that if you had mobility issues the gravel parking area & flagstone pathway may be difficult to maneuver. We took it slowly & did fine!! The path is really cute & not that long though!!

Thank you for your amazing review. The parking lot gravel was just installed and is settling. We are always making upgrades throughout the season and hope it improves our guest experience.
