Hillside Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Absolutely adorable both inside and out, this classic cottage is perched on a hilltop within 1000 feet of Lake Michigan! With partial lake views in the winter and an abundance of dense foliage in the summer, there will be no shortage of breathtaking sites surrounding you regardless of when you choose to visit. Plus, the grassy sideyard, private hot tub, and screened porch are charry on top when it comes to the exterior. Step inside and you will be spoiled by the remodeled interior boasting soaring ceilings, a contemporary full kitchen boasting white subway tile and stainless steel appliances, and modern furnishings throughout! The chef of the group can easily whip up tasty meals after a full day of adventure while the rest of the gang cozies up by the fireplace or streams a favorite movie in the media room complete with a mounted flatscreen TV and plush sofa. Plus, when it is time to hit the hay, one bedroom awaits on the main floor, and a lofted bedroom awaits upstairs to give everyone their own sense of privacy!

Perfect Girls Getaway!

A quick weekend getaway was in order for we busy moms and this was the best place! The cottage was the right size for us and had all the things we needed! Beds were comfy, home was clean and we were all comfortable. Seeing all the deer everywhere was super cool also! Just a note for anyone staying there, lots of steps to the cottage and inside to get up to the loft, wasn’t a big deal but just FYI! Also, only feedback would be to have lamps or a light source in the upper loft area. Otherwise it was awesome! Conveniently located for all the things we needed! Thank you!

Quick get away to check off another national park

Oh my goodness what a wonder property and a lovely stay! Hot tub already ready when we got there in December! Great location to see the dunes, local restaurants and breweries, and coffee stops. Will stay again! Only small improvements- better description of drive way really just a parking spot still a great parking area, instructions and safety for the fireplace in the inside only due to my Profession just looking out all, and shelves in showers. Other then that truly great

Quiet getaway

Very nice home in a secluded area with lots of outdoor animal friends! We had squirrels, chipmunks, birds and deer visit us! The hot tub felt amazing and we were a short drive to several beaches!

Delightful Retreat

Loved our stay in Michiana. Fantastic location, great neighborhood with private beach access just a short walk away. Had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Rental was clean and instructions were clear. One note would be that the bed on the main level was a bit uncomfortable, would love for it to be upgraded to a new mattress and king size. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful Location

This cottage was wonderful for our 4 night stay. The hot tub was so relaxing and the backyard area was very private. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were very nice and the 2 sitting areas made it easy for us to each watch what we wanted. The cottage does need a little TLC as there are a few cracked windows and some rotting wood outside. This listing is a short 5-10 minute walk to the beach and you can hear the calming sound of the waves from the backyard. We will be back again soon.

Really Good

Pretty much everything I will share is consistent with the listing and past reviews. Very close to Lake Michigan. We could see it through the trees and hear the waves when the wind died down. Could be a 5* review with a couple improvements. A few things were broken. * The window above the kitchen sink is cracked. * There's a broken knob in the master bathroom. * The water level in the hot tub was down 6-10 inches. * There was no hot water in the master shower. Master sink yes, plenty... master shower no. Also the hot tub is "private" if by that you mean that you have exclusive use. But if by that you mean secluded and that you can't see five houses within 90 yards of the tub then it is not so "private." Otherwise the property was great and the management was very good and prompt to reply via text.

Peaceful

Checkin was seamless, this cottage is beautiful. I loved the fireplace and hot tube. Did feel a bit exposed with the wall to wall windows and bare trees. I imagine the sense of privacy would be increased in the summer with leaves on the trees

Perfect stay

The home was exactly as advertised; instructions for access, parking, and the home were mailed the morning of check in and they were very simple and easy to follow. The home was very clean and stocked with all the necessary household items, as well as firewood for the firepit and fireplace. The hot tub was already already set up for use which was an added plus. The area was quiet and residential, and very close to Lake Michigan. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Great location

The location and neighborhood are beautiful and quiet. The bed was not a king, and that was very important to us, so that was a problem. It was also extremely soft and uncomfortable. One of the two showers did not have hot water for some reason. One of the bathroom sinks was not draining. The seating inside is only for 4, so though it sleeps many, I would not bring more than 4 people for a cold weather stay. All that said, we had a lovely, cozy time there.
