Relaxing and Lovely
My partner and I enjoyed a lovely, restorative stay at the Lakeview cottage! The kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms are well appointed and the porch and garden/yard are perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning or s'mores at night by the fire pit. The summer cottage was a great touch and so cozy. Ample books to borrow and read during the stay too! The property is a short walk to Pier Beach through a charming neighborhood and is easy to get to all the shops and restaurants off the main road. We felt fully recharged and at peace during our stay and would absolutely book again!

Relaxing in Lakeside
We had a great stay in this wonderful cottage that feels larger than the pictures show. The beds are very comfortable, the decor soothing, incredibly clean and well outfitted with beach chairs and bikes! Bill was great to communicate with and raised the bar compared to the others we have rented from. The back summer cottage reminded us from a scene from Dirty Dancing - it was a great stay and we will return. It was incredibly clean as well.

Relaxing and Quiet
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The screened porch was a great place to relax. The back cottage was nice to spend some quiet time at dusk. We went to the public beach a few times. Some days there was ample room to sit on the sandy beach but other days the waves were too high, however we still enjoyed it there. We love the old charm of the cottage and hope to visit again.

Great family vacation!
We had a great trip and the cottage was a wonderful location for our family to rest and eat between adventures. The host, Bill, was very helpful and had great communication. Checking in and out was a breeze and we felt right at home with plenty of sleeping space for our family of 6 (with younger kids ages 3-11.)

Great experience in Lakeside!
We had such a great time at the Lakeside Grove Cottage! It was clean, spacious, and close to antiques stores, the beach, breweries and coffee shops! We were able to explore the whole area on our short trip. The host was informative and helpful and it was an easy check-in process. Would recommend this vrbo!

Our family has a home right around the corner and this was a perfect space to have as extra living space. The home is well stocked and clean. We would definitely stay again and maybe in the summer to enjoy the backyard.

Wonderful week at the Lakeside Cottage
The Lakeside Cottage is cozy, clean and so very comfortable. It was very chilly the week we were here so we weren't able to go to the beach, but there were plenty of activities nearby to keep the whole family engaged and happy. We brought our lab and had a great time taking long walks with her. Bill, the owner, was excellent to communicate with and when the power went out the first night was very responsive and helpful. A great place to stay! Thanks, Bill!

Cute cottage
Very cute cottage. Just wish it was 10 minute walk to true beaches. Closest beach was very, very small and we had to pass a home with a high pitched alarm system always going off. Not loud but audible and not very welcoming. Not much owner, Bill, can do about that! Highly recommend Black Currant Bakehouse in Union Pier! Lakeshore drive is a great road for biking and walking. Lots of big trees and beautiful homes too.

Great Holiday Weekend at the Dunes
This cottage was so spacious and peaceful. There is only 1 bathroom, but it is very spacious. The grounds and "hangout"bonus cottage in the back was a great plus. We love this area and its super close to the State Park! Beautiful weather!

New favorite in the area!
We were thrilled to find a dog friendly property with close beach access. The house was great-totally as advertised. It was really cute, and nicely appointed. It was very clean. It had a nice homey feel. It had a lot of space-so much so, we could have been a larger group. It was warm enough to enjoy the screened in porch, which an added bonus. We only wish we had more time.

Lovely cottage near beautiful nature
This was such a perfect place to stay with our extended family. We had five adults staying (two couples plus a parent), plus two dogs. It was such a comfortable home base for exploring all of the beautiful nature nearby. It had everything we needed to cook and stay in, but also nice dining options nearby. We had so much fun getting to spend time as a family over the holidays, and this was a great place to do it.

The property was exactly as promised, and communication with the host was amazing (Bill was super helpful). The location was great - right half way in between most of the stuff we wanted to do, all within 15 minutes. Perfect, wonderful, would definitely come back if we were in the area again. Thanks!!
