Had a wonderful stay. Location is great with a park and Lake Huron directly across the street. The unit was clean and well-stocked. The host was very responsive to any questions I had.The only negative with this particular unit is that there is a feral cat community in the surrounding area so we had to be mindful of where we stepped and there was occasionally a slight smell if we were to be gathered directly outside the unit.

Quick beach trip

The cottage was very nice. The beach was within walking distance and was not at all crowded. It is a very quiet neighborhood and the park across the street was great.The only thing that wasn't perfect was that the pull out bed sheets had not been washed and there was a sock and sports bra underneath left by someone else.we would definitely consider staying there again.

This cottage was perfect for our family as there are other cottages on the property you can rent so everyone has space! Each are fully equipped with everything you need. Communication with the owners was quick. Our stay was lovely! Only items I would mention, TV is a smart TV so limited to what you can watch- boys were looking for Tigers games lol and the blinds were thin or did not work so it could be bright!

Lovely Cottage

The Boathouse was delightful. The property was clean and well situated. It was well appointed and very clean, with everything we needed and nicely decorated. The communication from the property owner was timely and accurate. We had a lovely time and plan to stay here again as we enjoy this area of Michigan very much.

All was great, although the grill gas tank was empty and the two houses behind and across from the cottages were in I’ll repair but blocked from all but the last cottage.

Two senior ladies had fun

Everything we were hoping for was achieved. The cottage itself was lovely and the amenities were great. We could drive to the park across the street and sit on the beach. A nearby restaurant served incredible fresh fish. It was VERY hot but the AC worked great and we played cards. A nice picnic table right outside the door was perfect for morning coffee and a journal session. Highly recommended.

Home away from home

This is our second time staying at the cottages. Perfect location across from the beach, and park. Clean and comfortable. Lots of games for playing indoors when cool, and an outdoor fire pit , volleyball court and outdoor toys for playing outdoors. The host is very responsive, and super helpful. Perfect place whether visiting in the summer or Fall.

When you pull in just ignore the mess to the left as it doesn't reflect where you will be staying. Sadly it is someones elses mess. Your rental will be very clean and neat, and have nothing amiss. The beach and park across the street are great! And the restaurant that is a 3 minute walk was a plus. And not to far, about a mile or two is a great place for breakfast!

Couple getaway

Such a beautiful and well appointed cottage. We had an issue the first night and the owners were quick to respond and resolved the issue. The cottage is across the street from a park with a small beach, we enjoyed sunbathing there. A quick commute to Lexington, great restaurants and shopping. Walk to the Tally Ho from the boathouse for lunch or dinner, nice locals. We would definitely recommend the Lakeshore cottages!
