We loved our week at this home. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets every evening from the incredible deck. There was plenty of seating for entertaining outside, with two tables, a hammock and lounge chairs. The master bedroom is beautiful and the house has a lot of great cottage style.

Nice week at Lake MI Cottage - relaxing and comfortable. No phone, no internet - not a bad thing.

Beautiful view of the lake - lots of windows in the charming property. Well cared for and equipped home with a big deck and a great beach. Will hopefully make it an annual trip!

We love this place! We want to rent at this location again next year. Great house and location! In all the years of trying different places we would pick this one again!

This is a beautiful home closely located to the beach. Home was well-maintained and a pleasure to stay in for the week. Short walk to the 101 steps to the lake where the sunsets were incredible and the sandy walks were neverending. Neighbors were quite friendly in the Homeowner's Assoc and warmed up after a few days though almost all are retired and seem to prefer quieter families. Bike/running path located near home for early A.M. workouts if you'd like. We plan to book each year and are already counting down to 2012. Thanks for the best family vaca ever.

Our family had a great time staying at this house - great kitchen, great deck, nice furnishings, felt very welcomed and comfortable. What we liked most about it was the two levels, our two teenage kids brought a friend and they had the lower level to themselves which included their bedrooms and a living area with a big screen TV. Our bedroom and kitchen was upstairs with our own living room so we never felt crowded. House was close to a nice private beach and two blocks from the bike path. We definitely will come back.

Great Vacation! Perfect spot right on the lake!

The beach and cottage were great -- it seemed as though we were in paradise. The beach condition of the property was one of the nicest along North Shore Drive. Also the cottage was exceptionally well kept - perfect floor plan -- wonderful view of Lake Michigan!

We timed it perfectly; sunny days, clear nights, beautiful sunsets, Blue Moon, and a nice balance of isolation and connectivity with neighboring properties. Visits from friends and family rounded out our experience and enhanced our enjoyment. Only complaint is biting flies attacked when the winds died down, but that only pushed us more quickly in to the warm water for another swim. 10 nights was a perfect length of stay to really unwind and appreciate our Great Lakes Michigan treasure.

Great newer home, tastefully decorated and very convenient to all the activites we wanted to do while on our first trip to Lake Michigan. Very close to blueberry farms, beach, parks and shopping. Beach and parks within walking/biking distance. Everything we needed to cook out or in was included. Linens, towels and beach toys a bonus. We would love to rent this home again and loved the relaxing, picturesque Holland and Grand Haven areas as a place to take our "Great Escape" from our everyday work life!

My wife and I wanted to sample the Michigan coast this year to enjoy the fall colors. I was afraid that we might be too late (Mid October) but the colors were vibrant. The property was better than expected, very clean and well provisioned. We fell in love with the beaches and the friendly atmosphere of the neighborhood. I will definitely come back again. Next trip will be a weeks vacation next summer!

We had a wonderful time during our stay at A Great Escape house. The house is convinietly located to the beach, parks and blueberry farms. We had plenty of room for the four of us. Our kids enjoyed Wii and the games provided. Central A/C and Wifi are huge bonuses. Kitchen is fully equipped, lots of towels and linens. The property is very professionally managed and Jami Schmidt was very helpful to answer all our questions. We would definitely rent again!
