This property was clean, comfortable, cozy and charming tucked into a wooded area with a private stairway down to the shore of Lake Michigan to a private beach. The view of Lake Michigan from the house was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and bright. There were plenty of places to sit inside and outside and enjoy the view. ##### Sheila L.

Cabin was old but beds were comfortable and all basic amenities were updated recently. Great great away for four adults. Beach was perfect! Stairs were steep and old, but well worth it to have access to the lake. Highly recommend and our group would definitely return! ##### Angie C.

We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing views, swam on what was basically a private beach, and hit the bike trails that pass only about 100 yards away. Each night we enjoyed grilling and playing games on the deck, until we watched some breathtaking sunsets. We also found multiple great restaurants just minutes away. We hope to definitely stay here again. The owners answered any questions we had within minutes & we also recommend their fresh blueberries & local restaurant tips. THANKS! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim H. Aug 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach vacation Our family stayed at this cabin during one of the last weekends of the summer and had a great time. The beach area associated with the cabin is ideal because it's shallow going out to a good distance out and nice, fine sand. We stayed during one of the last weekends of the summer and other public beaches were jammed packed. The cabin is as advertised and 'historic', but you can tell that the owners are trying to upgrade portions of it (kitchen appliances, basement bathroom). If we weren't on the beach, we were sitting on the deck just enjoying the view that all of the neighboring multi-million dollar mansions have next to you. I searched up and down the Lake Michigan coast to find something affordable and this was the only option I could come up with that was right on the shore. You're also about 10 minutes out from Holland. Would definitely come back and stay here. ##### Tim H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra R. May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Million Dollar View This is the place for you if you want a cozy, clean, historic cottage with million dollar views and direct access to Lake Michigan. As a historic cottage it is not luxurious or perfect, but IS comfortable and cool. We had several quirky little things come up, but the owner responded quickly and resolved promptly. As we had mild spring weather while there, we did not need to use either heat or A/C. The cottage is nicely furnished but the livingroom sofa cushions tend to sink when seated there. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining area is large enough for a crowd to gather. Overall, this is a cool, comfortable, and reasonably priced lakefront property with million dollar views! We would not hesitate to stay here again! ##### Sandra R. Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Donna F., Indiana Jun 14, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway We visited in early June which is a tad chilly for Michigan we learned. The views from the property are spectacular! The home is what it says, just an old lake home with fantastic views. The driveway is beautiful and woodsy and then you walk up the steps to this amazing unobstructed view of beauty! It is the perfect setting! Nature and trees, beach and sand. The home is decorated cute but you can feel the moisture in the rooms. Plenty of storage space in the rooms. The downstairs shower is bigger but did not get hot for us. The upstairs shower is small but cleans the same. Lots of TV options and wifi is good. The property owner was always quick to respond to all of our needs. The neighbors are very friendly. The kitchen is well stocked but it is small and there is not a lot of room to store food. We didn't need a lot so for us it was fine. The stairs to the beach are steep and do not extend to the flat beach surface. There is erosion at the base and there is a retention wall that you have to jump up and down to access the beach and then the stairs going back up. Down was not too bad but up was difficult. We truly enjoyed our time and will without a doubt be returning. ##### Donna F.

It was clean when we got there which is impressive because of all the sand that's around. Deck is great for relaxing. Would recommend ##### Chip S.

Sep 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nostalgic The property is an old cabin in a very nice quiet neighborhood. If you don't mind things a little rustic it is a wonderful way to enjoy Lake Michigan life. There are VERY steep wooden stairs up to the cabin from the parking area and down to the beautiful sandy beach. You need to have stamina and good knees. Also, bring all the cosmetics you need as well as all condiments as they do not provide any toiletries and not even salt and pepper in the kitchen. Fortunately, we were prepared and made lots of nice meals in the kitchen. The sunset views were unbeatable and chairs were provided for endless days of beach reads and swimming. We would stay here again. ##### Erin K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sherry S. Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Check-in #### Max’s Vacation To start Got there 1 hour before checking in Asked if could check in early No 1/2 hour granted Checked in putting stuff away Only 2 ice cube trays that only equaled 1 My husband and I drink a lot of ice water and ice tea was not enough for even I drink So first day had to buy ice cube trays and a ice bin to hold it and tolite paper as only 3 rolls for 2 people for a ten day stay. Next went to grill out propane empty after I had requested to have a back up because we love to grill out. So had to text and request again Then on 3rd nite there I am contacted by contact person at 8:15 pm to see if I can take out the garbage can out to the road to pick up in am. I am a 71 year old person who is on vacation and paying top dollar and in her pajamas to take out can a foot ball field away really ❓what’s next can u cut the grass while u r here. And then the sliding glass door would not lock. Half of light fixtures did not work This place is falling apart . If is wasn’t for the view and the access to the water we would have left the first day. So disappointed don’t waste ur money. And would not hurt to pick up trash all around the place example dish simple fixes and not a big expense ##### Sherry S. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney B.

Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### ashley l., Howell, MI Jul 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome beach location! This property is worth it just for the awesome beach! We stayed primarily during the week and we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Despite the public park being down the road, we still had our space. The cottage is dated, as per the listing. The upstairs bathroom is very small, so that took some negotiating as we are a family of four and two were kids. The basement bed was quite loud when moving around on it. Also, the humidifier down there definitely needs to run, but the tank is so small that it has to be emptied frequently. Including in the middle of the night. Which was quite disruptive if you’re sleeping down there. Would be nice to have a bigger humidifier that can run longer. Also would’ve like to see more blankets. Plenty of sheets and towels but not a lot of blankets. Also additional ice trays would’ve been nice to stack up on ice. Last suggestion is to leave instructions on the thermostat as it appeared to be stuck at a high setting, and despite constantly turning it down, it would always go back to higher than we would’ve liked it. Not having a thermostat like that I had no idea how to operate it. It often would crank up in the night leaving us too hot and again making it disruptive while sleeping. Overall communication beforehand was good, we didn’t have any questions during our stay. Didn’t see any “house rules” posted despite what check in email said.

The beach was lovely with 70 steps down from the deck. It's near a township park so people from it and other nearby houses will walk past, but it's still pretty secluded. The cottage itself is one of the original cottages that used to line Lake Michigan but are becoming increasing rare (replaced by fancier houses) and so feels like the cottages we used to stay in many years ago. It's not fancy, but it's quite comfortable (except for the sofa which was impossible to sit on). There's a 6-person dining room but we lucked out with good weather and could eat our meals on the large deck overlooking the lake. The bedrooms are fine and would fit five people well (one bed against the wall would be tight for two people). Kitchen is functional but tight for two people to work in at once. Grill on the deck was very useful. Bathrooms are small but functional. Parking for 4-5 cars. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and this place would definitely be high on our list for a future stay in the area. ##### Stephen V.

We enjoyed our stay, the beds are comfortable and the location is perfect, close to grocery store and restaurants. The beach is also very nice, stairs going down to beach are old and probably need replacement soon but we took it slow and all went well. 3rd bedroom in basement definitely needs the dehumidifier ON most of the time. If you change it out several times a day, you’ll be good. Also a big plus is AC! ##### Julia L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Reggie A.

Allowed viewing stars at night and listening to the waves all the time. A very peaceful setting. ##### Reggie A.
