Relaxing getaway

If you're looking for a cozy place to get away from it all this is just the spot. The house is cute and comfortable with everything you would need to relax and have a good time. Loved the proximity to the neighborhood beach with just a short walk. Robin and Bob were also very kind to give us a bottle of wine for our stay and a nice card since we were there on our honeymoon. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice home and wooded neighborhood with all the extras. Sunny or rainy, you have plenty of options to explore in the area. We went to Pentwater, Hart, Ludington, and Silver Lake. Multiple beaches that allow pets. The stairs down to Lake Michigan at Cedar Point County Park are in good condition.

Adorable Cottage, Loved it!

This cottage was super cute and fit our family’s needs perfectly. It was close to Hart, and Mear’s / Pentwater State park which is an amazing little town. We used the Cedar Point Park each day which was beautiful!! The owner’s did stay in the camper on the back of the property but we had no issues and hardly seen them. I have recommended this to friends for a future rental.

Perfect Family Getaway

My three sons and I spent four nights at this wonderful property, and had a wonderful time. Extremely clean, great kitchen, plenty of room for air mattresses on the floor. We arrived to some welcome gifts and every "extra" was available from a hose to rinse off our sandy feet to a nightlight in the kitchen. We spent quality time on the beach and in the Lake. Bob and Robin are wonderful hosts!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was clean and welcoming. I appreciated it having everything we needed to have lunch at the house. We just brought our groceries and were good to go. The beach is about a 5-6 minute drive with stairs so we left the wagon back. Clean beaches, clean home, easy to communicate with the owners. We had a blast and would definitely come back! The owners stay in a RV at the end of the property but it didn’t bother us one bit. Loved this space! Thanks again for having us!

This was our first VRBO experience. “Our” cottage did not disappoint! The home is first class. The owners have impeccable taste who no doubt strive to provide a home away from home. I won’t spoil others stay, but the owners made coming through the front door very welcoming! Privacy abounds in the serene setting all the way to “your” nearby private beach. Fun times!!

Gorgeous cottage, serene location

I cannot express how happy we were with our stay. The cottage, while only one bedroom, was spacious and fit our family of four well. The kitchen is perfect for anyone who loves to cook and has everything you need. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. We walked in and were overwhelmed with how gorgeous it was. Robin was great, even bringing by extra chairs and stuff for s’mores. The area is so serene and quiet, and is within walking distance to the beach. We made many good memories here and cannot wait to come back!!!
