Everyone polled (7 adults) would have given this property between a 3.5-4.5 rating. I think an overall 4 is fair. Aside from 7 adults, we had 4 kids ages 1 - 3.5. This was our first family vacation we took together and we’d consider coming back to this house/area in the future.
Pros:
-Lots of space
-Swing set for kids
-Off the beaten path so kids can run around
-Lots of bathrooms and bedrooms
-Great communication with management company
-Stocked kitchen (pots and pans, dishes, cups)
-Cherry Beach was very clean and clear water and easy to get to
-Garage converted into game room was really cool
Cons:
-The floors were dirty. A 1 year old was on the floor for less than 2 minutes and her hands and feet were covered in dirt.
-Lots of daddy long legs inside and cobwebs. This may be unavoidable due to the wooded area.
-Had some temp control issues. It was really cold when we arrived and we could never quite get it right. It was often too chilly during the day and then too hot to sleep with blankets (in some rooms) at night.

Enjoyed our stay, thank you!
Good; communication with Blue Fish, plenty of bedrooms/beds and beach towels, washer & dryer, outdoor grill, fire pit, finished garage game room, ample seating/eating areas, Harbert Beach, and 2-3 min walk to Harbert Swedish Bakery!
Not so good: our family arrived at 5PM check-in time, but had to wait a bit as cleaning crew was still inside. Screened porch has a lot of dead bugs, leaves, and cob webs. Had ants on kitchen counter (right side) of sink we had to spray and wipe down (never saw them after that), fan in hall bathroom didn’t work so made for very humid showers, broken cabinet door below kitchen sink (only a minor issue).
Walk to Harbert beach is 15-20 mins, but recommend driving and getting there by mid-morning for a parking spot in the summer. Especially on the weekends of course.
Overall, nice home and quiet with wooded surroundings. Recommend they provide travel size shampoos and Kleenex and at least 1 liquid hand soap in the kitchen and at least wash those porch screens and porch screen doors off.

House felt even bigger than we expected (and was so perfect for our 3-generation, 11 person group!). So many spaces to enjoy together—-and to spread out. Having so many bathrooms was very convenient, the hot tub and fire pit were great, and the short walk to Luisa’s bakery was appreciated by all. Loved having a crib for our infant and plenty of infant/toddler toys. Highly recommend! Great location for enjoying New Buffalo/Union Pier/Sawyer/Three Oaks/Warren Dunes (Harbert!) etc. We loved walking or driving to Harbert and Cherry St beaches; really preferred them to the New Buffalo public beach. So peaceful! Anyway—beautiful property!

This place appears exactly as advertised. It was so very spacious for us four couples that stayed. You can easily all hang out together as a group in the common areas, or you can escape to any bedroom to have privacy. The place is very easy to get to and surrounded by a lot of different activities one can enjoy. We will definitely plan to be back again sometime!

Good sleeping accommodations and living space for a group of 13. The den off the living room is a hidden gem. The fire pit and hot tub were good outside spaces. Kitchen was a bit small for preparing meals, but there was plenty of room to sit and eat. Beach access is 3/4 mile down Harbert Road. It's an easy bike ride or there are a few parking spaces. The Harbert Swedish Bakery is a minute walk and recommended for morning pastries. Many good bike routes to Sawyer, Union Pier or New Buffalo.

Overall great house with nice amenities. The house was big with large bedrooms and common areas. It was great that 3 of the bedrooms had bathrooms connected to them. They also provided beach towels and some beach gear to borrow while we were there which was awesome! the The play set was great for our kids. It was close to Harbert beach, a park with a nice shaded playground, and warren dunes state park. Would definitely stay here again.

A perfect spot for a family gathering!
The Cottonwood Cottage was even better than expected for my husband's 75th birthday celebration. It had wonderful common area and bedrooms to accommodate the whole family. The outdoor space, including the playground was perfect for the young grandkids and the teenagers (and adults) thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub! Another highlight was being walking distance from the Swedish Bakery! The whole family agreed the weekend was wonderful!

Huge house
If you're looking for a place to get together with a large group, this is perfect. There were nine in our group and everyone had their own bed with more to spare. Lot's of great social space as well. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great house for a beach vacation with friends
Two families with small children and could have fit a third family easily. Beautiful home with great space to gather and for the kids to play. Everything felt updated and new. The location is great as well. The walk to the beach would be long with small children, but the beach was not crowded and we were able to get parking each time. It’s a quick walk to the Swedish Bakery for coffee/breakfast in the morning. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly go back.
