The perfect cottage for our group of 4 adults and 2 young children. The cottage is comfortable and feels roomy, and the garden is charming with several areas to relax. It's just a few minutes walk to the beach. Highly recommend!
we stayed for three nights this summer, and loved every minute of it. The house is beautifully decorated with a great layout for multiple people or couples. We are already planning our trip back!
We enjoyed our weekend stay. There was plenty of space for our large family in this cute shabby chic cottage. The beach is only a short walk away and we loved exploring the little harbor towns only a short drive away.
This cottage is exactly as delightful as the pictures make it appear. Although we didn’t have beach-weather, it is not only conveniently located near the beach but easily accessible to the restaurants and shops along the southwestern Michigan coast. Highly recommend.
This was just a lovely place to stay. We had a business retreat and there was plenty of space to spread out. It was close to everything and just lovely. Thanks Gigi for a great stay!
This was our 3rd stay at Gigi’s cottage and it just gets more charming every time! The location is perfect, the gardens beautiful, and the amenities and beds wonderful. We love this magical cottage so much and couldn’t recommend it enough!
This property is nothing short of a gem! The decor is gorgeous, the home is beautiful, the location is great, and the flowers outside were breathtaking! We come up to this area all the time, and I will absolutely stay here again with friends or bring my husband and children up with family friends. It is very spacious and plenty of room for all. Gigi was responsive and very kind! Thank you for a great stay, Gigi!
We loved our stay at this charming cottage. The best part was the beach and close to great restaurants and shops!
Can’t wait to come back!! I’m

About the host
Hosted by Gigi Carroll
I was born on Long Island, NY and spent many a summer on the North Shore of the island, including Montauk Point. Imagine my joy when I found the Hamptons of the Midwest just 75 minutes from Chicago! Beautiful beaches. Great dining. Romantic evenings. Long sunsets. Peace. Quiet. Perfection. And so began the story of creating the most amazing storybook cottage and the ideal place to enjoy the easy breezy life Harbor Country offers. I am thrilled to offer you that same experience.
Why they chose this property
To me, the house is the intersection of all the places I love. . . a little bit of New Orleans, Key West, and Long Island. The front porch surrounded by lush greenery and flowers is reminiscent of a Tennessee Williams play. And that is what drew me here first. . That moody front porch I spotted from the road. Serendipitously, It happened to be for sale. To me it was the quintessential summer cottage. At the time, the property contained two small vintage cottages. I joined them a year later, updated...well everything, and added a large kitchen/family room addition.
What makes this property unique
I love everything about this house. The hydrangeas that greet your when you drive up, the rooms filled with light that make you wonder if you are inside or out...the vaulted beamed ceilings in almost every room that provide the most airy experience. The private deck that is the most awesome room in the house. I am truly a lover of beautiful things and wanted a place to house them all. I hope my home reflects that. Oh and did I mention how awesome it is to watch a thunderstorm roll in from the beach?? The best entertainment ever:-)
