Review for the beach house

We really liked the place, and would definitely recommend it to others and might come back ourselves too. The only concern we had was the amount of mosquitoes we had outside the property. Unfortunately this was a very wet summer so we were already warned about the mosquitoes. Other than that, we had an amazing experiance. The beach and the place itself was fascinating.

Cozy BeachFront

This cottage was awesome for my husband and I. We had plenty of room, the place was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the beach was unbelievably clean and secluded. On an average day, maybe we saw two or three couples walking. One day we had trouble with biting black flies, but the rest of our week was no problem. We stayed in the latter part of June. The grill was wonderful and an absolute must for this property as the ability to cook meals is limited with a kitchenette. Harrisville is very small town. So, not a lot to do. Coffee shop in town has a great Mocha latte. Ice cream next door was wonderful too. We brought our bikes and loved biking on the back roads near our cabin. We would stay here again. We wish it were closer to where we live. This is our new favorite vacation spot. The owners were very kind, friendly and communication was excellent.

Great Beach House

We enjoyed staying at this studio beach house. It was clean and very quiet with no traffic noise. Smooth sailing with booking, questions, and checkin. Perfect setting in the woods on the beach. Loved watching sunrises and eating on the porch. The beach is unbeatable - super clean, soft sand, and comfortable water temps. We spent our time playing in the water, walking along the shore & to Sturgeon Point Lighthouse, tons of beach time, watching the campfire and stars, and wrapping up each night with a game of pool. We brought a large RTIC cooler and groceries for simple & tasty meals to supplement the refrigerator and limited offerings in the vicinity. Glad we did because we never wanted to leave this delightful haven. Big thanks to the hosts for sharing this great beach house, all the firewood, and use of the kayaks. Can’t wait to visit again!

Pleasant Stay

Very nice property right on the lake front practically a few yards from the beach itself. Quiet secluded location (only saw a couple other people the entire time) was very peaceful and just a perfect getaway. Lake house was clean and kitchenette was sufficient for our needs. Pool table was a nice touch. Internet and phone signal very spotty but didn't bother us since we wanted to be off the grid anyway.

Beautiful beach

Beautiful beach, quiet, peaceful property. We had no issues staying for a week with size of fridge. We enjoyed the sound of waves coming in the windows, and the bonfires each night. Driveway is shared with owners and we did see them and their guests they had labor day weekend but it was still quiet for us in our area. We played pool and read books. Fly hatch happened for a few days so the biting flies were bad. Way back in woods and within quiet neighborhood. Beach was great, water shallow enough for swimming. I wore water shoes because of rocks but sandy after the rock area. Hosts were good and responsive when I had questions. Open space was good for us as well. Overall really enjoyed our stay.

This place is even better than described, with a very private stretch of Lake Huron sandy beach just outside the doors (and many big windows!). The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. We hope to come back again next year.

Perfection!

My two best friends and I stayed here for a week-long girls’ trip and had an incredible time. The cottage is even better than described and just a few steps from the crystal clear water of Lake Huron. While a full sized refrigerator would have been nice, we made do with the dorm-sized fridge and a cooler. This cottage is secluded, well maintained, and was well worth the 5.5 hour drive from northwest Indiana. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Not one complaint about this stay. Exactly as advertized, and better! We 100% would love to stay here again. The solitude was amazing. Private beach access, It was like staying on a private island. Exactly what we were looking for. The Owners were very kind and even offered us wood for our Fire.

Absolutely beautiful

Exactly as pictured! It’s off the main road hidden away in the woods right next to the beach. We’ve been there 2x now and we will definitely go back again. It is very clean, the kitchen is well stocked (no stove/oven) but it does have a hot plate, coffee pot, toaster over, microwave, plates/cups, utensils, mini fridge, and a propane bbq outside. Check in is contactless and the hosts are available via quick text or phone call although we’ve never needed anything while we were there. The beach is gorgeous and we never seen another person on it while we were there. There is a fire pit & chairs provided. We found wood just a few miles down S23 from the cabin and there’s also a small grocery store nearby in case you forget anything. Cabin is heated with the fireplace which gives the place a wonderful cozy feeling. WiFi can be spotty especially if it’s raining but we brought a hotspot with us to use. Really can’t say enough good things about this place and our kids ( 7 & 4) actually cried when we left, can’t blame them as I didn’t want to leave either! Can’t wait to go back!

Peaceful relaxing getaway

Remote & peaceful. Enjoyed being right on the beautiful private beach. Loved sitting on the deck & on the beach. Walked beach to lighthouse. Cottage was perfect size for two. Enjoyed pool table & fireplace. Kitchenette worked well with the fridge, microwave, hotplate, toaster oven & grill. Couldnt figure out the DVD player or stereo, but watched a Netflix movie. Did have to bring own towels but all else was perfect. Would visit again!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love the moment we drove in the driveway. The view, the privacy & the beach. The smell of the cedars & pines that surround the home is divine. We live in the main house next door and have decided to share a little piece of our paradise.

What makes this property unique

Quiet and private. Off the beaten path. There are days when you may be the only people on the beach. Busy days may have a handful of families in the whole cove. Steps from the beach and beautiful white sand.
