Owners were very responsive to any need that arose. However, they were aware that loveseat in tiny living room (there was only one other chair, a lazy boy that you couldn't raise the foot on) needed to be replaced and it hadn't been done. Enjoyed the deck and the lake. Good for easy kayaking. Road right behind the cottage was busy on weekends but less so on weekdays. Very accessible to hiking, biking, and Lake Michigan beaches
Great cabin with great location. Had a lot fun spending the week with husband and daughter. It was nice that we could take our lab too. Beach was great! Loved the patio and chairs on the deck. Spent a lot of time there playing games and having much needed family time. Only negative is it would be great if the shower was a little bigger.

Bring your own towels and linens
We have stayed at many VRBO properties, over the years, and this was the first one that did not provide—or at least offer to provide—basic towels and bed linens. So, guests must bring bath and dish towels, as well as linens for the two queen-sized beds. We were disappointed that this was not addressed explicitly in the Amenities section.
