A Lovely Quiet Getaway

My family and I stayed for a weekend in the off season, and we had a very nice time. Erick is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the area, able to answer any questions you might have. The cottage is situated in a neighborhood, so it's ideal for those who want to have a quiet stay and aren't planning to get up to too much rowdiness. The neighborhood private beach access is just a short drive or brisk walk down the road, and we got there just in time to see a stunning Lake Michigan sunset. As the listing says, the bathroom is quite small, so it might be close quarters for a big group with lots of kids who all want to take showers etc., but if you're looking for a cozy and relaxing spot close to the lake, it's perfect.

Lake Michigan on ice

My daughter and myself travel to this lake house to see the ice on Lake Michigan. We actually arrived late roughly around 10 PM and for some reason we were not able to get in. I called Eric the property owner and he was so helpful. he got us in right away, and he gave us a rundown of everything how to access the lake, great places to eat he also ran through the cabin with us to make sure everything was perfect. We’ve used Vrbo a lot over the years and this was probably our favorite place that we’ve stayed. It was just two of us that went but this place is great for a family. There’s lots of room lots of beds.

Quiet girls getaway

This property was so cozy and clean! We were able to disconnect and unwind while watching the local deer in the side yard. We were also able to visit the beach and see the winter wonderland it has become this winter. The host, Eric was quick to share information on the local restaurants and other local businesses that made our stay easy and fulfilling. I would like to recommend this property to anyone.

Cottage in Shelby

This was the perfect spot for my husband and I, we were in the area visiting for a wedding in mid-January. It was very quiet since it was the off season. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We’d love to come back during the summer months when we can enjoy the lake and sunshine!

Thanksgiving stay

Everything met or exceeded our expectations. Property manager was gracious, prompt with calls or texts. He also acknowledged the written instructions at the rental needed updating, they conflicted with the electronic instructions received. I/we will be back, hopefully to enjoy a summertime stay. 9.9 stars out of 10!

Fun Fall Getaway

My husband and I along with his brother and wife had a fun weekend at Erik’s place. His cabin is very clean and perfect location if you’re visiting the Silver Lake Dunes. We watched the sun set over Lake Michigan several evenings and it’s was absolutely beautiful! The cabin is in a very quiet neighborhood and perfectly located amongst Apple orchards and several vineyards. We loved the area and Erik was so nice and inviting! Great place to stay!

Cozy home

Wonderful place to get away in October. We usually spend our summers in the area but wanted to get away in the fall. Wonderful area and the home and area did not disappoint. Fireplace was great on the chilly mornings and the beach access was great. We were the only crazy out of towners on the beach most evenings. Would definitely recommend Thanks Erick for the hospitality and communication.

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased this home for our retirement and to enjoy with our family. As a Navy family, we've traveled half the world together. We love this home and look forward to being your host.

Why they chose this property

Nestled away in the wooded community of Cobmoosa Shores, Cobmoosa Shores Cottage is only a 12 minute walk from Lake Michigan and less than a mile from Stony Lake. If you prefer, there is private parking at the Lake Michigan access only 3 minutes away..

It's an oasis away from the busy hectic life you may be living. The sunsets are spectacular any time of the year.

Private beach access to Lake Michigan means you'll often times have the beach to yourself or just a handful of our wonderful neighbors and guests.

What makes this property unique

Our guests staying 5 days or more will receive a complimentary bottle of wine at Oceana Winery & Vineyard. Just call ahead to schedule your wine tasting experience.

Private access to Lake Michigan means you'll often times have the beach to yourself or just a handful of our wonderful neighbors and guests.

The fireplace in the living room is gas, so you can just turn it on with the thermostat and cuddle up.
