We had a very nice time during our family summer long weekend getaway. First time to visit the Warren Dunes area and looking forward to coming back soon. We were looking for a relaxing time and it fulfilled our wishes!

This house was perfect for our stay, it came stocked with everything we needed and was so close to the beach! We had an excellent week and look forward to returning! Janette was very responsive and took care of everything!

The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was wonderful and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped and the storage shed was loaded with great beach toys. We enjoyed cooking, kayaking, biking, beaching and golfing. We will return next summer. Thank you to our hosts for a terrific stay!

We had a great stay at the Cozy Cottage. The home is stocked with everything you could possibly need! We had plenty of space (Me, my husband, and 3 & 5 year old boys) to relax and enjoy Lakeside. The beach was a quick walk down the road and then about 25 steps down. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed, plus a garage full of fun toys and chairs, etc for the beach. I already want to come back next summer!

My wife and two kids, 4 and 6, spent a wonderful week at this lovely cottage. The house overall was very nice with plenty of space for us all. The only minor improvement would be a more thorough cleaning of the house.

Janette was an amazing host! Her house is beautiful - a perfect beach oasis. It was open and airy, impeccably clean, had so many amenities (hot tub, tons of beach equipment, full kitchen supplies, comfy beds, plentiful towels, cute patio and porch, etc). We loved it! We plan on making this an annual adventure. Can’t wait for those union pier sunsets next year. Thanks, Janette!

I am very picky and always afraid of getting a place that isn't as advertised. This house and Janette far exceeded expectations. Everything was VERY clean! It is one of the first rentals I didn't feel the need to clean again when I arrived. Comfortable beds. Easy walk to beach. Everything you need for a awesome week at the beach. Will definitely stay again.

The Cozy is just that! We all enjoyed our stay and with all the comforts of home! 1/2 block to the lake for easy quick access! Close to all the area offers yet feels off the beaten path, full of nature and quiet! Owner is wonderful and responsive! Charming home!

This was our third stay at The Cozy Cottage in Lakeside. We love this home - beautifully, beach-ily decorated, comfortable and welcoming! It was spotlessly clean when we arrived with chocolates, wine and flowers to greet us. The house is fully stocked with everything you might need except your swimsuit! :) We love how many beach toys are in the shed and the easy 5 minute (if that) walk to a beautiful beach. Owners are very responsive with any issues that come up. The cottage really shows their pride in ownership. We highly recommend this cottage for a visit to Lake Michigan and are looking forward to stay number 4 again soon!!

Home away from home
This was our 2nd time staying here. It was so nice being familiar with the house, beach, and area. House is light and airy, neighborhood great for walks, and we basically had our own beach for the week. All was wonderful.

The house was very comfortable and cozy. They had everything you would possibly need. 1/2 block to the beach and the stairs were not bad at all. We can’t wait to go back again.

This house was a really great getaway for our family. The Lake was a short walk around the corner and our 4 year old had as much fun on the beach in late December as she does in the summer. Also loved the hot tub and indoor fireplace. We did a lot of cooking and appreciated all the gear in the kitchen as well as a few essentials like olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Thank you for accommodating our earlier check in as well.

What a nurturing place! Cozy Retreat is immaculately clean, comfortable beds, and a well stocked “cooks kitchen“. The hot tub is just steps out the back door and was lovely during the cool Michigan evenings. Already looking forward to going back!

Perfect Place for Our Family
This house was perfect for our family vacation! The house is nice on the outside and gorgeous on the inside. Very well stocked with kitchen tools, beach towels, bedding, etc. They also have lots of beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, and even a wagon that we used at the beach every single day. It's a short walk from the house down to the beach (~5 min) and it was no problem even with our two small children. Hot tub was a nice bonus! Janette was easy to work with and helped make our stay very enjoyable. Check in/out super easy. We will definitely be coming back!

This was our second time in this area and were very happy with everything. The beach was great - close to the house, clean, not too crowded. The house was stocked, clean, and cute. The owner had everything ready and went above and beyond to make us welcome. We will surely be back and are thankful for the time spent here!

Our group has a long history of enjoying Michigan beach vacations and the Cozy exceeded our expectations. Location can't be beat, house is truly cozy and host goes out of her way to make renters feel comfortable including much appreciated essentials. Who forgets coffee?! US, but host had plenty on hand to get us through until visited store. We have many reasons to love Michigan and the Cozy has been added to that extensive list!

We had another great stay at the Cozy Cottage! This time our grandchildren joined us and they thoroughly enjoyed the yard, hot "pool", and beach. Loved the addition of the fan on the screened-in porch. With the spacious front and back porch, we had lots of room to spread out. We'll be back in the fall!

Great Stay!
This was our second vacation in the area and we were very happy with the house! Great location, easy walk to the private beach access. We appreciated the beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, floats, etc. available in the shed. Loved the layout of the house and the skylights. Kitchen was well stocked including foil, ziplocks, napkins, cleaning products. Owner was quick to respond when we had a question. We felt very welcomed by fresh flowers and chocolates when we arrived. Would definitely recommend this property.

This Cozy Cottage Was Perfect!
My partner and I were looking for a quick relaxing weekend getaway from the city (Chicago) and barely left the cottage all weekend it was so perfect!
The checkin process was a breeze and it’s so conveniently located. The wine and chocolates left as a welcome gift were delicious and warmed our hearts. The cottage is equipped with so many amenities for cooking and the hot tub was clean and convenient.
We walked down to the beach one day just to see the access and were pleasantly surprised by how close and private it felt. We will definitely be back in warmer weather!
This place is a must! Thank you again Janette. :)
