We were the Lakeside first guest since Veronica made her place available. The little cottage was perfect for our stay. It had everything we needed to complete our family vacation. The best part was that it was close to Lake Michigan, where we spent lots of time.

We enjoyed staying in this lovely cottage. The rooms were comfortable and met all of our needs. The linens and bedding were top notch. It felt like our home away from home. I would love to see some local art on the walls. We also enjoyed the outdoor property. The fresh herbs were a great touch. The location was close to many activities and attractions( walking/ bike trails, bike rentals and sunset boat cruise)
