I enjoyed staying here so much. The host is gracious and you can tell fond family memories have been made here throughout the years. There is more here than the pictures suggest. The yard is great and the proximity to the beach is top notch. For those that know the area, I'm happy to report that Flagship fish market is alive and well under new ownership. Book your stay here. I certainly hope to be back again soon.

Cannot rave enough about Lakeside Grove! It is a gem! Cottage is well appointed and obviously loved. Clean, inviting and had everything we could wish for. Close enough to walk to a small beach from cottage and easy access to larger beaches, great restaurants and a bike trail right outside your front door practically. So glad we got to stay here! Hope to come back many times!

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.)

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!

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 cottage was very cozy and clean. The location was great. It was close to New Buffalo and the dunes. We were able to tour the wineries and breweries in the area as well. It had all the conveniences of home and felt like a vacation. The best part was I was able to bring my dog!!!!!!
