Fall getaway
My wife and I are preparing for our busy season for work so we were looking for a few days in a beautiful private spot. Bill’s cottage was perfect. Great views, beautiful pebble beach. Bill a great host, good communicator.

Great View
The views from the house and on the beach were amazing! Unfortunately it was pretty windy when we were there so we didn't get to enjoy a fire on the beach. The house was comfortable.

What a view!
The view, deck, and beach area are spectacular. The well-constructed stairs down to the beach were very impressive. Beds were comfy and the bathroom was updated. Plenty of room to spread out. If you’re sensitive to smells, there was a musty odor that needed to be aired out. I’m sure in the summer, when the house is occupied and opened more, that probably isn’t an issue. The kitchen and original parts of the house are quite old, but appliances were newer. A unique property with a really nice outdoor area.

Great sunsets, great views
The property was as advertised and Bill was easy to communicate with. The home was older but it had everything we needed. The location was secluded and had a nice walkway down to the rock beach. The nights were cool and the heat worked great and it was very comfortable. As advertised, you must bring your own bed linens and towels. Note that this also includes kitchen towels. The area was nice, Washington Island is a great place to visit. We took the ferry up to Rock Island which was fun. It was less than 10 minute drive to the ferry from this location. It is also located close to popular Schoolhouse Beach and multiple restaurants.

Wonderful retreat
This is a great little space! Pictures provided are accurate. The private beach area is wonderful any time of day— we enjoyed our coffee sitting in the provided chairs and listening to the waves every morning. We used the charcoal grill a couple times and had dinner on the deck almost every evening. We had had stunning sunsets and a couple of evening storms that made for some wonderful pictures with the cloud formations. A couple things to note — while the kitchen is decently stocked with cookware and utensils there are is no cooking spray, herbs and spices for grilling etc. so bring from home or be prepared to stop at the grocery store in town.There really isn’t a lot of Tupperware for storing leftovers in the fridge either, so keep those things in mind if you like to make meals at home while vacationing at VRBOs like we do. Also, don’t forget hand towels for the kitchen and bathroom as no linens are provided. (It’s stated, we just happened to forget those smaller towels) While there is no air conditioning there are fans to use in every room to keep air circulating. Overall, this is a beautiful, quiet space that we would stay at again.

Perfect Location
We spent beautiful days in a perfect setting. We enjoyed peaceful mornings and beautiful sunset at this property that was so quiet, yet is was only a short distance from town. Bill made communication very easy, quickly responding to any and all questions we had. We would definitely return.

Peaceful and private
Nice getaway. We stayed 4 nights. Pros are it's very quite and you feel like no one is around you. Beautiful sunsets down by the lake with a fire pit. Very clean property. Enough dishes and cooking items to make meals. Had lots of fun exploring the island. Overall we were very satisfied. Cons are it's a small bluff from the lake to the house so lots of steps (not a problem for us, but wouldn't be great for someone who doesn't do steps well). Lake side by fire pit is all rocks. Pretty, but hard to walk on. Not huge cons, overall we enjoyed it. Would stay again.

The perfect island getaway
This cottage was perfect for a long weekend with friends!! The cottage had some great charm and we spend a lot of time sitting in front of the fire place in the house. The view was what brought us to this cottage. From listening to the waves crash on the rocks in the morning to watching the sunset at night on our own beach with a fire going it was perfect! Will definitely be back to the lovely place!!
