The property is near the Red Arrow Highway so it's very easy to travel to nearby towns for shopping and dining. The house has a dream kitchen and large rooms except the bathrooms are small. It's comfortable and we would rent it again.

The perfect spot for exploring both Union Pier and New Buffalo! It was so cozy and made this relaxing girls trip even better. Our host was a great communicator and the house was beautiful and well organized. Tons of extra blankets, comfy beds, coffee, modern bathrooms, and great outdoor space! Being only a 6 minute drive to wineries, restaurants, beaches, and shopping made it the perfect stay! We will definitely be coming back!
The house is cute. We had to cut our stay short for reasons that were out of our control. But overall, it was a good experience. The owner was very communicative and nice.

Beach Dream House
Driftwood Cottage has everything you need for a dreamy Midwest lake holiday. The home is comfortable, clean and well equipped with everything you need whether beach chairs, toys, towels or board games later on. Management is easy to reach and responsive.The beach itself is private, close and even has parking. Our family loved the experience and look forward to returning.
