Beautiful cottage near Lake Michigan.

The Crane's Nest is a beautiful 3 bedroom, one bath cottage near Lake Michigan and located in the Lake Michigan Beach area. Newly remodeled. We want our guests to feel a range of emotions when entering The Crane's Nest. Cozy, comfortable, relaxing, nautical and romantic. This cottage is fully stocked with supplies for campfires, grilling, cooking and games for the whole family. We are one mile south of Roadside Park (public beach) and one mile north of Hagar Park (public beach). We are perfectly located between St. Joseph (9 miles south) and South haven (12 miles north). With so much to see and do in both directions.
The Crane's Nest is a Family friendly cottage. We are not large enough inside or outside for parties. We rank very high on decor, cleanliness and activities.

***********If you only need a Two bedroom, one bath, we also have Chip's Place next door. In the listings, you will see a flagstone colored house with a bear on the deck. The listing number is 2039216*****************

Weekend fun before back-to-school

We took our daughter, son-in-law and 12 year-old grandson for a fun weekend before he starts 7th grade. The house was perfect. We played games that they had, enjoyed how close we were to Lake Michigan and had a truly wonderful time. Would highly recommend this property. It was perfect!

Really enjoyed our stay! Utilized the grill and the fire pit (our son loved the s'mores). Low vehicle traffic outside, was very relaxing. Within easy driving distance to South Haven and St. Joseph. Would absolutely stay again.

Amazing place!

I’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, and this might be the best I’ve ever experienced. Thoughtfully designed and arranged, impeccably clean, and stocked with both practical and generous supplies to make a stay easy and enjoyable. Our only regret is not having longer to stay at the house. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a wonderful time. The cottage is adorable, very clean, and the perfect size for a smallish group. It's also well stocked with essentials and some special treats. We will definitely consider returning! The nearby beach is lovely. About a 3-minute drive at most.

What a lovely place.! It was decorated so cute and had everything we needed and more—wood for the fire pit, coffee and danishes for breakfast. Close to all the places we wanted to go-beach, shopping and Sherman’s! Great stay for these 50 year old high school friends!

Just ok

Great location. Great host. She put amazing work into the house. It looks wonderful!! My only complaint is the smell of the house. And no I have not mentioned it to, Dawn. But I do think it's helpful to inform other potential guests in the future. Looks to be water damage.. it is very evident on the hardwood floors. Another thing to note... You are connected to another VRBO stay. (If guests are scheduled of course) But it's all one house and the host must of put a wall up to separate the two places. I guess I'd describe it as a connected condo. I honestly would stay again if it wasn't for the smell of this house. But it was too bothersome for me. I would take an old finished home with no toxic smell over a newly remodeled with a bad smell of water damage or whatever else you have going on.

We cannot say enough great things about this property! Extremely quiet location yet close to many beaches. We enjoyed the Roadside Beach for the sunset. Dawn is a terrific hosts and is quick to respond.. we generally stay at hotels in the area, but never again. This home is absolutely perfect and will be a first choice for us on future visits!
