The home was clean, comfortable, nice quiet location (although we had to deal with some construction noise that is NOT a normal occurrence so no reflection on the owners) Nice well stocked kitchen, but we were only here for short stay and didn't cook a meal there. We did cook on the grill and that worked fine. Kellye is a great host, always available, and encouraged us to come out and enjoy the sunsets which were beautiful. We originally booked this home for a family reunion for 5 aging siblings. Unfortunately 3 sisters could not make it so was just my brother and I. The place might have been a little crowded had all 5 of us been there but was perfect for the 2 of us and would be fine for more. I love the area and would love to return here. ##### Regnad K.

Jul 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Shipwatch Cottage Husband and I stayed at the Shipwatch Cottage 7/8/24 to 7/12/24. The property was immaculate inside and out and was equipped with really anything you might need or could want. Also, the WIFI was fast and solid. Perfect for a rain day. The property is surrounded by woodlands and as advertised, has a stupendous Lake Michigan view. It is easy to get to and from with good roads all around yet very, very peaceful and quiet. The property owners were very cordial and made every effort to ensure that we lacked nothing during our stay. In addition to the printed directory of attractions, activities, beaches, etc. located in the cottage, the owners provided their personal take on things to do in the area. Very helpful! All-in-all, we felt this property was by far the best we have stayed at in roughly 10 years of exploring western Michigan. We highly recommend the Shipwatch Cottage and offer our thanks to Kellye & Bill. ##### Sherry M.

We spent our days at Duck Lake Beach (<5 minute drive), Pere Marquette Beach (30 minute drive), and Muskegon State Park Beach (10 minute drive) and enjoyed sunsets, s'mores, and board games in the evenings back at the house! Groceries, etc are about 15-20 minutes away in Muskegon. From the moment we booked and received a great list of recommendations for the area from Kellye, to her texts just checking in during our stay, communication was open, friendly, and kind. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Kari T. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shanna P. Aug 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful property and hosts The host went above and beyond in providing a welcoming environment and so many options for area activities. The house was clean and well maintained and stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning walks down the short driveway to the lake where we could sit and relax. While the beach is not accessible from the property, there are so many options within a short radius. I would highly recommend this property and host. Fair warning - have your directions available in a screenshot or printed version. There is no mobile reception for a short area around the house. The house has wi-fi and I was able to work from it and transferred all calls to wi-fi while there. Before leaving, we would open Waze and screenshot directions - just in case the signal was lost. We had no issues using this workaround. 5 out of 5 stars for the host, location, and house. ##### Shanna P.
