Cute spot close to the beach!

The house was really nice and clean, and offered all the amenities we needed for a family reunion in Notre Dame. Close to some cute little spots, but still relaxing and secluded. Really enjoyed being so close to Lake Michigan! Janette was very kind and responsive throughout our stay.

Cozy, Cute, and Clean

Perfect for our four friends girls’ trip! SUPER comfortable living space! Everything was as described plus more. Easy walk to private beach (you do need a pass to get in -don’t try to go before your check-in). Yes, the steps are a lot, but totally worth it! Comfortable beds, great family-friendly games, books, & DVDs. We had a very relaxing getaway with lots of laughs. Will definitely book again! Our favorite.

Cozy, nicely outfitted house just a short walk to gorgeous, private beach.

We cannot overstate how much we loved our stay here! This house is clearly beloved and is well-stocked with all of the cooking and beach supplies you might need for a weekend away. Quiet, laid-back neighborhood, friendly neighbors waved hello to us every time they passed. The beach was clean, quiet, and BEAUTIFUL. We will absolutely be back!

My wife and two kids, 4 and 6, spent a wonderful week at this lovely cottage. The house overall was very nice with plenty of space for us all. The only minor improvement would be a more thorough cleaning of the house.

Good Times in Lakeside MI

The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was wonderful and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped and the storage shed was loaded with great beach toys. We enjoyed cooking, kayaking, biking, beaching and golfing. We will return next summer. Thank you to our hosts for a terrific stay!

Fantastic cottage with only steps from the beach & private access to beach. Accommodations were lovely with soft colors & comfy bedding for The bedrooms. Our girls enjoyed having a trundle bed so all 4 could share a room!! Super to have a shed with a wagon & sand toys plus floats!! Will definitely return for more fun!!

Everything was wonderful!

We had a great stay at the Cozy Cottage. The home is stocked with everything you could possibly need! We had plenty of space (Me, my husband, and 3 & 5 year old boys) to relax and enjoy Lakeside. The beach was a quick walk down the road and then about 25 steps down. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed, plus a garage full of fun toys and chairs, etc for the beach. I already want to come back next summer!

Lovely stay at the Cozy Cottage

The Cozy Cottage was a perfect home for our family’s week long stay over the 4th of July. The home had a great layout for a family of 5 or more with 4 beds in one of the bedrooms for kiddos. We enjoyed the front porch, hot tub and large yard. It also has great access to Orchard Beach which is a nice size and a short walk from the house. Plenty of chairs, umbrellas, wagon and beach toys to make the stay enjoyable. We’d love to book again!
