Long Weekend Getaway

Really enjoyed the cottage. Very comfortable beds and a wonderful front porch for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The owner has a lot of amenities including bikes in the shed that my daughter and her friend loved being able to use and a fun inter tube we took down to the beach!

Great family vacation!

We had a great trip and the cottage was a wonderful location for our family to rest and eat between adventures. The host, Bill, was very helpful and had great communication. Checking in and out was a breeze and we felt right at home with plenty of sleeping space for our family of 6 (with younger kids ages 3-11.)

Great Holiday Weekend at the Dunes

This cottage was so spacious and peaceful. There is only 1 bathroom, but it is very spacious. The grounds and "hangout"bonus cottage in the back was a great plus. We love this area and its super close to the State Park! Beautiful weather!

Great experience in Lakeside!

We had such a great time at the Lakeside Grove Cottage! It was clean, spacious, and close to antiques stores, the beach, breweries and coffee shops! We were able to explore the whole area on our short trip. The host was informative and helpful and it was an easy check-in process. Would recommend this vrbo!

Lovely cottage near beautiful nature

This was such a perfect place to stay with our extended family. We had five adults staying (two couples plus a parent), plus two dogs. It was such a comfortable home base for exploring all of the beautiful nature nearby. It had everything we needed to cook and stay in, but also nice dining options nearby. We had so much fun getting to spend time as a family over the holidays, and this was a great place to do it.

The cottage was very cozy and clean. The location was great. It was close to New Buffalo and the dunes. We were able to tour the wineries and breweries in the area as well. It had all the conveniences of home and felt like a vacation. The best part was I was able to bring my dog!!!!!!

Perfect Michigan Rental

This is a perfect rental in Harbor Country. The house is a cute cottage with all the amenities of home. Our family enjoyed the eat-in kitchen as well as the screened in porch. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained with a fire pit and a screened in shed for family fun. The beach is just a short walk away and is also very well maintained. Very relaxing atmosphere

Relaxing in Lakeside

We had a great stay in this wonderful cottage that feels larger than the pictures show. The beds are very comfortable, the decor soothing, incredibly clean and well outfitted with beach chairs and bikes! Bill was great to communicate with and raised the bar compared to the others we have rented from. The back summer cottage reminded us from a scene from Dirty Dancing - it was a great stay and we will return. It was incredibly clean as well.

Lovely Lakeside Cottage

We -- two small families -- spent a lovely weekend in this incredibly cozy, comfy, and cute cottage. The earlier reviews of this cottage still hold true: it has three comfortable bedrooms, a variety of places to relax -- living room, screened porch, garden, summer cottage -- wifi, cable t.v., a firepit... It is a couple of blocks from the beach, and around the corner from several shops. We had a wonderful time and hope to return someday.

Bookish, breezy haven near the lake

The cottage in Lakeside was absolutely delightful. The decor is artsy and fun, there were stacks of terrific books to explore, and the screen porch and separate summer cottage meant there were lots of breezy corners for reading, games, or conversations. Add to all of this that the yard felt like a botanic garden, and you start to get the idea!
