We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Tower Hill cottage. We had 4 little kids from 1-5, we were able to just hang out and let them play at the little playground across the road without worry. We had all that we needed, we were surprised by no TV but we enjoyed not having one. We saw several deer wondering around the property. I found the walk to the beach to be enjoyable, a short walk down the street and a simple hike through the woods that comes out to picturesque sandy dunes. I carried a 1 year old, backpack, and beach toys and the 2,3, and 5 year old were able to walk themselves. Everyone was super friendly at Tower Hill, passing by and asking how everything was going. Less than a mile up the road is an amazing fresh food market where we stocked up on fruit multiple times. The entrance to Warren Dunes is just slightly past that with a famous ice cream shop across the road from the park entrance. Seriously all you need in a few mile radius: cottage, beach, park, fresh Michigan fruit and veggies, and ice cream!! It is also in a great spot to travel to other beach towns, we visited both New Buffalo and St Joseph which were only 20-30 min drives. This was a vacation that everyone enjoyed grandma, mothers, and kids! A little more about the cottage: loved that there were two full bathrooms. The fireplace is in the middle of 4 cottages to share, we never used it due to time but would be nice in the cooler evenings. There are some charcoal grills available as well. We cooked in the kitchen or ordered food. You will want to bring your own seasonings/cooking oil/butter. It is a quiet place on the edge of a state park, if your wanting a retreat from busy life then this is it!!
