We had a wonderful weekend at the Lakeside Cottage! Bill was a terrific host, and the house was clean, cozy, and charming. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves all weekend, and there was a great combination of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang out. We usually travel with our 4 kids, and the space would have been big enough for all 6 of us, but it was very nice to have room to spread out for just the two of us! We used two of the bikes available with the property, which were in good condition and a very nice way to spend a warm fall afternoon. We enjoyed walking to the beach, exploring the many nearby natural areas. The fall colors were in peak form, and we were glad to be in Lakeside, which is a little more secluded and quiet than the nearby beach towns. We had a great stay and will look to stay here again when we're next back in SW Michigan.

Loved the house! It’s a charming cottage. Everything as described. Spent the week (3 girlfriends) and the house worked perfectly for us. Wonderful screen porch. Beds and linens were very comfortable. We are familiar with the area and the location is convenient to everything in the area. (There is an adjacent train track so you need to be ready for the train noise a couple of times a day). Cooked at home a lot and loved having the eat in Kitchen as well as dining room.

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!

This is an unusual property. The kitchen is the first room you enter, followed by the dining room, then the living room. It's all straight back. The three bedrooms are all on one side. The whole house is one floor. The sq. footage would make it seem small, but the house is quite functional. TV works without any trouble, there is plenty of bedding and the garden area is stunning. Lots of tiny villages around for driving, shopping, and dining. Property manager was very easy to work with. It worked out very well for the four of us.
