Cozy cottage

Sandy beds was a nice little cottage with lakefront views and lake access within 20-50ft of the cottage. The cottage is on the smaller side, but it was functional and slept our group very well. The kitchen has utensils but isn’t quite set up to make a huge meal but the town has options for dining anyways. We came for the dunes, and were able to park two trucks and trailers adequately. The group was very pleased to find the living room had cable TV and we relaxed and talked with plenty of seating during the evening. It is equipped with a mini split unit that was easy to use by remote and kept us warm at night and cool after riding the dunes. We were located only just a minute from the dunes entrance so ease of access was spectacular. Our group enjoyed the stay especially at the price point for the rental. Thanks again looking forward to staying again!

Great 2nd Stay!

Short walk to dunes, beautiful views AND comfy beds all included in this cozy cottage. Trip included my 93 year old Dad, myself and adult son and this cottage had everything we needed and location could not be beat. We swam, did Smores at fire pit and watched sunset over dunes at cottage then drove over to lake Michigan to watch it a 2nd time. And as always, enjoyed our ride on the dunes at Macs. Check in could not have been easier plus, kitchen had everything we needed too. Thanks so much again Lynn for sharing your cottage with us!
