Great stay for our family!

We stayed at this cottage for 5 nights. The cottage was so cute and homey and perfect for our family of 5. We loved the decor and it was so nice to have a fully stocked kitchen. This place is in a great location to easily visit anywhere from New Buffalo to St Joe. We loved the privacy at this home. The backyard is huge and filled with beautiful trees/forest. Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful June Stay

The cottage was charming with a modern vibe and thoughtfully designed. I loved the sleeping porch with the two daybeds and heaps of pillows, and it was air-conditioned. The kitchen and bathroom looked new and fresh. The backyard was huge and the neighborhood of Three Oaks is green, quiet and restful. Attractions were just a short drive away, like the national and state parks, New Buffalo and St. Joseph (and the cool lighthouse). I would stay in this home again and recommend to others.

Charming getaway

This darling house was perfect for our 3 day fall break trip. The yard was great for our kids while we sat by the fire pit with drinks. I enjoyed daily porch naps. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed!

Chic retreat

This property feels like a chic cottage/beach house, tucked away but minutes from the best beaches, restaurants, and antiques. It’s cozy for two but also ideal for a group....can’t wait to go back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Country Cottage

This was the perfect cottage for a long weekend get away. It's beautifully decorated, on a lovely forested lot with a fire pit and back deck. It's super clean and the owner Alison is beyond helpful and responsive. I look forward to returning. Great memories.

A serene spot for a weekend away.

We love all things Lakeside, MI, and this charmer is no different. Alison has made this cottage absolutely dreamy. Build a fire, read a book, listen to some music with wine, and you have yourself the perfect fall or winter weekend.

Cozy winter getaway

Our small family took a Feb weekend trip to our favorite part of Michigan and we had a fantastic time at Lilly Bell cottage. It is in a winter wonderland setting (and I am sure lush green in summer), centrally located to the places of interest for us - snow tubing in Berrien Springs and sledding in Warren Dunes Park. Designer touches all over, lovely fireplace for the snowy evenings. We will be back!!

Super cozy yet Spacious

Totally loved this home! We had a girls weekend with 4 teens and 2 moms. Lovely relaxing front porch that also was our bedroom bc of the extra beds out in the enclosed porch...felt like we were sleeping under the stars yet had the comforts of air conditioning and large windows. House very comfy and open with wonderful kitchen and modern bathroom! Will definately return!!

Cozy chic house

We had a great time staying for a week. The house is very spacious, nicely furnished and comfortable. Plenty of space to comfortably relax in your own corner of the house, even with kids. We spent a lot of time on the back patio by the fire pit which is surrounded by beautiful old trees and visited by deer and wild turkeys. It’s about a 10 minute drive to stores, restaurants and the beaches. We had a few delicious meals in the surrounding towns and made some quick meals at the house. Everything we needed was provided by the owner, including very useful information about the area. Highly recommend this property.

Lovely, nicely decorated

This was a perfect little rental for myself and my brother for my mothers celebration of life in New Buffalo.It has a beautiful backyard and the interior is adorable.. the kitchen is very Nice but only used it for breakfast.. its in a quiet woodsy area, close to new buffalo. It only has one bedroom with a proper bed the other bedroom is bunkbeds, so my tall brother had to sleep in a kid’s bunk.. probably perfect for a couple with kids. The host was very responsive and helpful. If i ever visit again I would stay here, other family members rented places that were just atrocious, badly decorated and moldy. This place is a gem

Family trip to Michigan

The stay was great. Close driving distance to beaches and beach towns. Small space but the layout is well designed. Beds were very comfortable! A small thing I would recommend is adding a full length mirror over one of the doors. Perhaps the laundry room door. Only one bathroom so another mirror would be helpful. Close proximity to several beaches and we really enjoyed our rainy day in the town of Three Oaks. Journeyman distillery was great!
