Texas Twosome

We really enjoyed our visit to Michigan. The property is beautiful! The cabin is very clean, fully stocked and comfortable. It's secluded with lots of privacy, but also a short drive to restaurants, shopping, etc. Plus, the beach is right across the street.

Great get away for a few days

My 11 year old daughter, our two dogs, and myself were quite happy here with proximity of two beaches and spectacular view of Lake Michigan from the top of the bluff. I wish we could have had it for a week, but someone snagged it before we could. Coloma has a quaint downtown and 11 miles north off St. Joseph. I think we will be going back. Thank you Wanda and Brett.

Beautiful Location, Great Experience

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The location across from a public beach was ideal and yet the cottage felt secluded & private up on a hill & surrounded by trees. The decks provided great outdoor gathering spaces & the inside was comfortable with plenty of space. The decor showcasing local artists was a nice touch. The kitchen was well equipped & had everything we needed to cook meals all weekend. Beds were comfortable & there were plenty of linens. Would love to stay here again!

Perfect spot!

We absolutely loved our stay, and wished we could have stayed longer! The house was beautiful, we loved the kitchen! We were here at the end of August and it was a bit of a heat wave and we remained cool and comfortable in the house. We noticed a yellow jacket nest starting near one of the doors and Wanda had pest control there the next morning to take care of it. We were 10/15 minutes from St. Joseph and 15 minutes from South Haven. Lots of restaurants nearby to enjoy. We had our dog with us and the entire area was very dog friendly. We were at the beach almost every day. At the height of summer, we had zero issues crossing the street to get to the beach across the street. Every single night the sunsets kept getting better. 100% recommend :)

A Special Place

Very pleased with this lovely cottage. The home is just as pictured in the listing photos, but I don’t feel they quite do the property justice. The spaces are generous and finished with a high degree of quality. The two comfortable sofas were perfect for lounging and reading and gaming. The bedrooms provided ample space and comfort. And the kitchen and bath have been beautifully finished with very well maintained appliances and hardware. There is ample outdoor seating on both the front and back decks and solid chairs around the fire pit. The cottage has been carefully stocked with all that you need to enjoy a vacation: wonderful kitchen amenities; games and books; beach gear; a quality gas grill. An added plus for our family was the beautiful art which decorates the cottage - both Wanda and Brett are talented artists. The location is very private - I would call it a woodland island. The cottage sits atop a bluff and is surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubs with a view of Lake Michigan across the street. The sandy beach across the street was great for hanging in the sun - plenty wide enough for us to set up chairs and umbrella with our son and dogs. Thank you Wanda for the wonderful communication and sharing your home with us : )

A cute getaway

We rented in Oct 2022 and had a great time. The cabin is clean and modern, with all the right decorative accents to make it feel homey. It is adjacent to a local highway, but raised above it on a bluff so that there is little road noise. Also, despite the worries of other reviewers, the highway was not busy: we had no problems crossing it with our two small dogs to get to the beach directly across from the cabin. The property is very centrally located which allowed us to spend time exploring both the New Buffalo / Three Oaks and the Saugatuck / Fennville areas. And don’t miss Benton Harbor / St. Joseph, we highly recommend Houndstooth. We very much enjoyed the property, and would return.

Secluded fun

We loved being across a quiet highway RIGHT next to beach access. Sunsets and hanging by lake during evening was lovely. Hard to pull us away from the porch where we read and listened to music during the day. Pet friendly amenities including doggy dishes if you needed them. Clearly had made investments into home and property. We loved it! You will travel a bit for groceries but we wanted to get away which was the point and perfect for us! Easy peasy happy campers!

Very clean, well appointed home. Perfect for our family of four and little dog. Lovely beach across the road. Spent time in Saugatuck, South Haven, St. Joseph. House is a nice location to get to all. Plus vineyards around. Watched the sunset from the deck and down at the beach. Wanda was excellent in communication and help. We all enjoyed ourselves and felt right at home.

Great spot!

We had a great stay at Wanda's house. The house was incredibly clean when we arrived. Wanda even had the wood ready to go in the firepit before our arrival. All we had to do was light it when we wanted to enjoy a campfire. We watched the sunset every day on the back patio. We enjoyed beach trips to Roadside Park beach (right across the street), South Haven (15 min drive), and Rocky Gap Beach. We had two small children with us. We love coming to Lake Michigan every year. We would definitely stay at this house again!
