The house was wonderful! It had everything we needed for making meals each day. There was no need to go far as the views and from the house and deck are spectacular! There are no words to describe the sunsets or the many colors of blue we saw in the sky and water. Thank you to Mercedes and Pete for a very relaxing and memorable stay!

Wonderful getaway- beautiful views- fall asleep listening to lake michigan
Would highly recommend- beautiful views from every room and deck. Love listening to the waves of Lake Michigan. House super cute with very comfortable beds and so well stocked. I love the personal touch of adding a local bottle of wine and also that they have more than the basic stashes of things you want when you stay at a VRBO. Definitely want to come back again and hosts were so communicative and gave great recommendations.

Awesome house!!
We had a great time celebrating our Mom’s 80th birthday. House was very well furnished and great space to rest, relax, play games, enjoy the fireplace on cool winter weekend and just watch Lake Michigan and take in the view. Incredible sunsets. Highly recommend this home. Had everything we needed and more.

Christmas gift to parents/sister
Heaven on earth is how I would describe this property! I brought my family here for a Christmas gift. Everything was perfect including the sun coming out for all 4 days after weeks of gray skies. Loved the beds, especially the single upstairs in bay window. The fireplace was relaxing and the views were priceless. We will be back !!

A little piece of heaven
This property is everything the other reviews say it is and more. The owners were awesome and very responsive. You can't say enough about the view of the lake when you walk in and what no one says is how cozy this cottage is. It was perfect for the person whose agenda was to just gaze at the lake, enjoy a wonderful fire and just relax.
