Thanks April, I am sorry you didn’t have nicer weather.

Thanks Ryan, Am glad you enjoyed our family cottage. Please do come again. What can I do better?

Thank you Kayla, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay— I was a bit worried about the weather. We appreciate you choosing our family cottage.

Casi, Thank you for the nice review of our family cottage. I love having people who know the area and appreciate a real lake cottage. We would love to have you come back. Sue

Thank you- glad you enjoyed as much as we do

Thank you Drew. We used to be able to walk down right into the Lake but erosion caused us to build steps and now the slope to the steps has gotten much steeper. We are trying to figure out a solution to that.

Thank you so much, Marti for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed our family cottage and hope you will return again.

Thank you Kathy, am so glad you enjoyed your stay— sorry about the can opener, there were 2 when I left in the Spring — maybe got put in a different drawer.

Thank you Valarie for your wonderful review. The squeaky beds are part of the cottage flavor— the bed frames are old but the mattress are kept up to date. We are trying to figure out a way to get rid of the squeak!! I am so glad you enjoyed yourself!

Thank you Adam We are so glad you enjoyed our family cottage and found everything to your satisfaction.

The Tea Room is a classic cottage with vintage charm. It does indeed offer a fantastic location, private 'shared beach' access on a beautiful, pristine area on Lake Michigan. The cottage is charming with many wonderful features, a comfortable living room with large, wood-burning fireplace, a great back yard, deck & screened porch with some lovely new furniture. It features a large, bright dining room, comfortable bedrooms. The downstairs bath is a basic bath with shower stall only but is freshly painted and clean. The upper bath is actually quite roomy offering a lovely deep, vintage, claw-foot tub which was refinished last year. It is freshly painted with brand new curtains and shower curtains as well. The baths and kitchen are always thouroughly sanitized between guests. The kitchen is roomy with updated cabinets and offers a brand new microwave and refrigerator. Yes, the refridge went out, unfortunate, but was due to a power surge caused by a big storm. It was replaced within 7 hours. The cottage itself is older but in good condition. It is always clean, we are known for this! We are extremely particular about this to the point of, if needed, doing the floors 2 & 3 times to make sure we get all the sand which comes up from all the beach fun. I suspect that perhaps what our guests thought might not be 'clean' is the fact that a couple of the floors, kitchen/bath lino & porch floor (painted), are a bit older, and are an oatmeal color, and though clean, don't look super bright and fresh. The porch floor too, though always 'clean' does need sanding and repainting, on slate for this coming spring. The screen/storm windows too are older, but again are clean as are the sills and windows, checked and cleaned as needed each turnover. This group of guests did number 10 which exceeded our maximum number and at their request was given an exception. They arrived with a very large volume of belongings as well so I can see how they may have felt cottage a bit small for them. We do prefer smaller parties as well. But the cottage has ample space for 8 very comfortably. The Tea Room is, as are most cottages, a work of love in progress. No place is ever 'perfect' but The Tea Room is a wonderful cottage offering a spectacular location. Our pricing is in line with other area cottages and amenities. We work to improve every year so that our guests may have the best experience... Please read our other 'glowing reviews'. Come stay with us. You'll be glad you did!

I am sorry Donna that you had an issue with the lights. I had requests for a dimmer as the dining room lights were too bright and didn’t realize that it would cause a problem. So glad you enjoyed the area and hope you will come back again. Sue
