Summer in October
We had a wonderful stay at this property. We had surprising summer temps. The cottage is such a lovely, short walk to the beach so we spent a lot of time there. The cottage is impeccably clean and quaint. We had everything we needed, along with excellent communication with Peter. The area is so fun to explore. We found Concord grapes, freshly picked apples and great Breweries. River St. Joe is a favorite. Hiking at Warren Woods is beautiful this time of year and it’s close by. We will be back!

On the small side
Everything is built for individuals who are smaller in stature. In order to relax and watch the television, you must lay in bed. The location was great and house was very clean.

Clean and chic cottage
Our stay was very cozy and we made many good memories on the beautiful private beach and nearby beach towns. Peter was an excellent host. My kids also loved it, ages 1 and 4. There are a few glass items we quickly moved out of reach of our 14 months old. Popped the kitchen cleaning supplies from under sink to high floating shelf and home was good as childproof. The price and quality of accommodations exceeded expectations (as some of the surrounding stay are very very high). I could live in this community and home! Got to take a run along the beach and through the neighborhood and spotted 3 bucks in a yard that I got to jog past! My husband watched a doe and fawn from one of the bedroom windows as he played with our daughter. If you’re thinking about it, just book it.

Adorable place!
House was immaculate and a great location. Private beach area was fabulous. Everything we needed was at the house. Property next door was a little unkept and that area of the yard was a little overgrown but understandable this time of the year. We’d definitely rent this home again!

Peaceful Lake Michigan Town
The house was great and everything needed was provided. I loved the peacefulness of this neighborhood and it's dirt roads. And the best part is access to their private beach just a block away! We loved our stay here! I would love to see this little forest village in full bloom at summer time. Thanks for letting us stay at your home!
