This was the perfect spot for our family to stay over the holidays. It was cozy, the hot tub was amazing and everyone had room to spread out and relax.

It was a rainy weekend, but with the wood burning fireplace and rustic feel, it made for a cozy get away!

Wonderful secluded, while still close to restaurants, shopping and Lake Michigan.
What a perfect place for a getaway!
We'll be back again!

This cottage was wonderful for our 4 night stay. The hot tub was so relaxing and the backyard area was very private. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were very nice and the 2 sitting areas made it easy for us to each watch what we wanted.
The cottage does need a little TLC as there are a few cracked windows and some rotting wood outside. This listing is a short 5-10 minute walk to the beach and you can hear the calming sound of the waves from the backyard.
We will be back again soon.

This is a cozy little cottage tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.
We were relocated to this property as the property we originally booked was temporarily unavailable. Vacasa did a great job getting us into Hillside Cottage and moving us back into the property we booked. We can’t say enough about their great customer service.
The roads getting to Hillside are narrow with no sidewalks. Be careful as there are often walkers with pets on the roads. Also, we encountered a few golf cart drivers who didn’t stop at a stop sign (or even look right or left)
The property is on a hill and you have to park at the bottom and walk up a couple flights. It’s a bit of a haul up to the house. It was only an issue for us when loading and unloading. The stairs aren’t lit so be careful if coming in after dark. The step into the house is a big one, so again be careful.
The kitchen is really nice but there isn’t sufficient dining space if seating more than four people. There is a larger table on the patio that will seat six.
The downstairs bedroom is big and the bed was comfortable. There isn’t a dresser so if staying for more than a couple days you either live out of your suitcase or use the dressers upstairs.
There are two full bathrooms but neither of them have any shelving or ledge to place product or soap.
The interior issues were really minor and overall our short stay was great.

Pretty much everything I will share is consistent with the listing and past reviews.
Very close to Lake Michigan. We could see it through the trees and hear the waves when the wind died down.
Could be a 5* review with a couple improvements. A few things were broken.
* The window above the kitchen sink is cracked.
* There's a broken knob in the master bathroom.
* The water level in the hot tub was down 6-10 inches.
* There was no hot water in the master shower. Master sink yes, plenty... master shower no.
Also the hot tub is "private" if by that you mean that you have exclusive use. But if by that you mean secluded and that you can't see five houses within 90 yards of the tub then it is not so "private."
Otherwise the property was great and the management was very good and prompt to reply via text.

Checkin was seamless, this cottage is beautiful. I loved the fireplace and hot tube. Did feel a bit exposed with the wall to wall windows and bare trees. I imagine the sense of privacy would be increased in the summer with leaves on the trees

The cottage was very cute. The deer walked right through the yard. The kitchen was updated. It was a lovely get away.

The home was exactly as advertised; instructions for access, parking, and the home were mailed the morning of check in and they were very simple and easy to follow. The home was very clean and stocked with all the necessary household items, as well as firewood for the firepit and fireplace. The hot tub was already already set up for use which was an added plus. The area was quiet and residential, and very close to Lake Michigan. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Nicely remodeled. Nice hot tub. Nice screened in porch. (Screens could use a cleaning from spider webs though)
Having no bathroom in upstairs bedroom was inconvenient and it has to be quite cool downstairs for upstairs to be comfortable on hot days. Ad says there is a king bed, but there are only queens & twins. Enjoyed our stay.

The layout was spacious and setup well for 6 people. They had enough beach towels and regular tiles for everyone. However, the air conditioning did not work while we were there, but it was fine because only the first day was hot. They're also isn't a working light by the fire pit and hot tub, but we were able to remedy this by pointing the light in the master bedroom outside. Overall I would stay at this cottage again. It was prime location to New Buffalo and a short walk to Lake Michigan. Overall a great getaway from Chicago.

Nicely updated cabin near Lake Michigan
This is a great little cabin that has been very nicely updated with new kitchen and bathrooms. All appliances are new and upscale--including the washer and dryer. There is no bathroom upstairs, so whoever sleeps upstairs must come down the narrow steps to get to the bathroom. It should also be noted that this cabin is not handicapped accessible. There are 17 steps from the street up to the cabin and another big step to get inside. While this was not an issue for us, it might affect the suitability of this property for other prospective guests.

The location and neighborhood are beautiful and quiet. The bed was not a king, and that was very important to us, so that was a problem. It was also extremely soft and uncomfortable. One of the two showers did not have hot water for some reason. One of the bathroom sinks was not draining. The seating inside is only for 4, so though it sleeps many, I would not bring more than 4 people for a cold weather stay. All that said, we had a lovely, cozy time there.
