    5/5

    The experience was amazing. We enjoyed the stay and the cottage was very very clean and decorated in a beachy theme throughout the complete cottage. Towels and bedding was top of the line soft and silky. The view was perfect looking out on Lake Michigan front view seat. The drive back into the private secluded cottage in the woods was also nice. I would stay again - privacy, cleanliness (house keeping people was amazing), decor was beautiful. Thanks again for the wonderful cottage stay and hoping to see you again in the future.

    We very much enjoyed our stay here. Relaxing time at the house with anything needed. It was also a quick drive to town and a short walk to the beach. House was older but expected for a lakehouse. View of Lake Michigan and sunsets was fantastic.
