Family reunion

For us the perfect location. It was a comfortable place for two couples. I personally would not like to stay there with more since there is very little place to hang towels (hooks) or put things away (closets). But for us it was great. Enjoyed the deck (a bit of painting is needed).

The perfect cottage

Beautifully decorated and stocked with supplies, my family of four had a perfect getaway here. The large yard offered a place for my kids to run and explore and we took a trip to warren dunes just down the road for some more exercise. Thank you for a great stay!

Summer Getaway

We loved our stay at this beautiful Michigan home. The house itself is adorable, clean, and accurately matches the photos on the listing. We didn’t do a lot of cooking at the house, but it’s seems to be well stocked with everything you would need. It’s a great location to beaches and all the cute little towns along the Red Arrow Highway. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful stay

This property is down a gravel road into a small neighborhood. There are many trees on the property and bird song The house is so nicely decorated and very comfortable. I had everything I needed. You may be lucky like me and see a deer I did have reception difficulties on the beaches and in the woods so be prepared for that. I wanted to stay longer than I did! Thank you Alison for preparing a lovely home

This property feels like a chic cottage/beach house, tucked away but minutes from the best beaches, restaurants, and antiques. It’s cozy for two but also ideal for a group....can’t wait to go back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the perfect cottage for a long weekend get away. It's beautifully decorated, on a lovely forested lot with a fire pit and back deck. It's super clean and the owner Alison is beyond helpful and responsive. I look forward to returning. Great memories.

A serene spot for a weekend away.

We love all things Lakeside, MI, and this charmer is no different. Alison has made this cottage absolutely dreamy. Build a fire, read a book, listen to some music with wine, and you have yourself the perfect fall or winter weekend.

Cozy winter getaway

Our small family took a Feb weekend trip to our favorite part of Michigan and we had a fantastic time at Lilly Bell cottage. It is in a winter wonderland setting (and I am sure lush green in summer), centrally located to the places of interest for us - snow tubing in Berrien Springs and sledding in Warren Dunes Park. Designer touches all over, lovely fireplace for the snowy evenings. We will be back!!

Family Beach Vaycay

Very beautiful interior and lovely home overall. Well equipped. Good location. Great host. Only issue was the housekeeping. The beds were not made and seemed to have not been washed. Also there was what looked like cat pee on one of the carpets. Once we washed them in the provided washer and dryer, all was well. Host graciously refunded our cleaning fee explaining she had new housekeeper. Hopefully it was a one-time issue! This really was a lovely place to stay!

Cozy, lovely, easy cottage

Clean, decorated nicely by someone who knows about space. Having two day beds on the screened in porch and two couches in the living space makes it so spacious and comfortable. Nice outdoor area. Comfortable bed and good water pressure. Knowing the area/market well, I do think the nightly cost is high for two in mid May when the weather is iffy and most things are closed. For a family or two couples in the summer, it would be the right rate. Would recommend.

Lovely, nicely decorated

This was a perfect little rental for myself and my brother for my mothers celebration of life in New Buffalo.It has a beautiful backyard and the interior is adorable.. the kitchen is very Nice but only used it for breakfast.. its in a quiet woodsy area, close to new buffalo. It only has one bedroom with a proper bed the other bedroom is bunkbeds, so my tall brother had to sleep in a kid’s bunk.. probably perfect for a couple with kids. The host was very responsive and helpful. If i ever visit again I would stay here, other family members rented places that were just atrocious, badly decorated and moldy. This place is a gem
