Relaxing stay
It was a clean place to stay. Lots of cracks in the walls and ceilings which put us off, the uneven floor and the lack of lighting on the ceilings also wasn’t mentioned in the listing.

Perfect cozy lakeside cottage
Everything about this cozy lakeside house was perfect. The location was perfect for our Notre Dame adventures. The host was very communicative with us and welcomed us with a little treat. The back deck was perfect for a morning cup of coffee and an evening glass of wine. We would love to come back in a different season and enjoy more of the amenities the lake house provides.

What a Relief from Daily Life
You know how all those last minute things you have to do before you leave for a trip drive you crazy and cranky...well, it ALL leaves the minute you open the door to this gorgeous and cleverly decorated home. Everything you could possibly want is here including a very clean lake and a terrific pontoon boat. This is our second year here and we love it. Jim's the perfect host.

A week relaxing was everything we needed!
Upon arrival we walked into a very clean well cared for home on the water. This cottage/home had everything and more than we expected for our week relaxing on the lake. The pontoon boat was great giving us the opportunity for a little bit of fishing or early evening cruises. This home was very accommodating to the point that we had no desire to leave. A credit to our host Jim Alexander. Thank you.

Relaxing stay
My family and I enjoyed our stay, especially the use of the pontoon boat. The swimming was good because it wasn't weedy. My kids enjoyed taking the floating raft out deep in the water with the anchor and jumping off. Overall the neighbors and lake were quiet and it was very relaxing.

Relax and enjoy!
When you first arrive, you are greeted with an amazing gift from your hosts! Such a special touch. The house is well equipped with everything you will need. The pontoon boat is a great bonus that we were not able to utilize due to windy conditions, but we fished from the dock and enjoyed catching some largemouth bass. If you need anything Jim and DeDe are available and very quick to respond to any questions. Thank you so much for making our vacation memorable! See you again soon.

Sunset Beach
First of all Jim was nothing less than a top tier host, the cottage was terrific, the amenities were amazing, any and everything you needed. The paddle boards, the kayaks , but the pontoon boat was the star nothing better than melting the streets away with a cruise. Plus Jim had the tanks full of fuel. I will say if Jim is renting this cottage next year we will probably do 10 days to 2 weeks. Thanks Jim for sharing your amazing cottage,and lake with us . Surely is a piece of heaven

An Amazing Relaxing Atmosphere
This lake house is truly about 60 feet from the lake. The pontoon boat is great and the atmosphere in the house itself is artistic, and cozy with the best of everything provided. There's lots of sun every day. We're hoping to come back next August again. So impressed.

Third time here...
Our family (adult daughters with spouses + one grandchild) is crazy about this property and squeezed in one more year here before out-growing it. The house is charming, the lake is beautiful and clean, the porch is inviting, and even on rainy days you don't mind being inside playing games, chatting with family or curling up on comfy couch watching tv. This along with all of the amazing amenities and the thoughtful, communicative owner have moved us to look forward to coming back for our fourth time next year.

Beautiful Lake House
Sunset Beach is a beautiful and well stocked lake home. You will have everything you need. I did bring my Kuerig because I was unsure if the cottage had one and there is one! So bring your favorite K-cups! My family enjoyed the quiet lake, fishing was awesome and the boat rides at night were enjoyable.

Week triathlon get away
When we knew we were going to be doing a triathlon in the area, we looked for a place we could bring our dogs with us. We wanted to take them on a trip with us versus boarding them. The cottage we found had everything we were looking for. Jim was very prompt with all communications and expectations. I only wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the lake with the pontoon boat and take full advantage of the sunsets off the back porch. We would certainly without a doubt rent with Jim again if we come back for the race again and it is available.

Best little cottage in Edwardsburg!
My family and I spent a week at the Sunset Beach cottage in June for our summer vacation, and we had a wonderful time. The cottage is lovely. It had everything we needed and the hosts left several special touches that made us feel very welcome. We hosted a family bbq and enjoyed hours of swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The boat was also a nice addition to our stay. Our family had a wonderful time, and several of our friends and relatives commented on how nice the cottage was for location and amenities. We would definitely come back to stay at this beautiful cottage. The location was perfect for what we wanted. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice lakeside vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Alexander

Host profile image
We bought this cottage and totally remodeled it for ourselves. 2015 was the first time we used it. 2016 we decided to rent it out. We had a lot of fun doing the cottage and are very proud how it turned out. We added all kinds of extras to make it really nice. Retro portable radios in bedrooms, games, books, Formica table from 1959 we had shipped to us from Pennsylvania, Turntable so you can bring your old vinyls. The pontoon is great.
