John Cozy Cottage, Sleeps Four
This bright and fresh cottage is tucked away in the trees among other cottages. The property is also RV friendly if you want to park your own camper or trailer on the site. The property has a modern kitchen, modern bathroom, flat screen TV, fire pit and more. It is very close to one of the nicest parks and beaches on Lake Michigan. We are very proud of this property! This property is clean and new and the beach is only a few steps down from the bluff above, making it perfect for families.

John was very accommodating. The house was beautiful and peaceful. Something we needed at that time due to a loss in my family. Definitely will stay at one of his locations when we come back. Thank you again so much John

quaint, quiet, cozy
This cottage has the basics you need and is a great jumping-off point for touring beaches an breweries in the area.
This was a such a relaxing and picturesque location. It was close to the lake and easy to find. I would definitely recommend this location for a quiet weekend.
Great little secluded property just a short 3 minute drive to a secluded beach that is way less crowded than the touristy beaches in South Haven. Grilled and ate outdoor every night!

Great!
We enjoyed our stay. Close to Lake Michigan and South Haven. Our Cabin was clean and had everything we needed we have already told our friends about our stay and what an awesome time we had .
We very much enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage in the woods near Lake Michigan! We could walk to the beach (or drive) for a quiet enjoyment at Hagar Park. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed including a giant bowl of candy waiting for us when we arrived! We will definitely be back next fall.
We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage and would stay again. It was a little tight for three adults plus one 17 yo (girls trip). We ended up getting an air mattress and sleeping on that plus the couch (not folded out) because the mattress on the hide-a-bed didn’t seem like it would be comfortable to sleep on. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable. The property was quiet and overall we enjoyed our stay!
My husband and I and our 3 and 4 year old stayed for a getaway weekend. The place is small but worked for us. We brought a queen sized air matress just in case and we ended up using it the whole time Set up in the living room- we figured it would be more comfortable than a pull out couch (we didn’t ty the couch). It was enough space for us. We loved the outdoor space- we ate outside every day and the grill was awesome. The kids loved running around and playig
Nicely renovated kitchen and bathroom.
Everything was there, more kitchen equipment than I have at home. However, the bedroom was not designed for a queen size bed (very comfortable.
We were slim enough to make do.
Cozy cabin, summarize it. Clean kitchen and living area. Small shower, bedroom and pull out is typical, horrible to sleep on. Best to bring air mattress to put on top.
Small window ac unit in main living area only. That was fine for us since weather was decent but any warmer temps would’ve been an issue.
Had coffee maker, tiny microwave and tvs are tiny as well.
Great host. Very responsive.
Place was clean and cozy, good size kitchen living area combo. Kitchen has electric stove, microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher and well stocked.
Bathroom is a good size, you have to go through bathroom to get to bedroom but that didn't bother us.
Bedroom is cozy but there is good enough room to move around and has washer /dryer in closet.
Backyard and porch are nice and big, if you go to the beach which is about a 2 minute drive or a 10+ minute walk you can use the hose at the back of the house to wash off before you enter the house. Overall nice stay
The area is so nice. We went to South Haven and Benton Harbor. The cozy cottage was in a nice quiet area where we could get to all the favorite areas! The cozy cottage was nice and clean. I was disappointed with the weather one day because with the rain and power outage there wasn't much we could do at the cottage but that wasn't our host's fault. If you are traveling and want to stay in, this may not be the place for you. It has a small TV and the lighting wasnt the best for reading but that may just be my "old" eyes. If you are wanting a place to stay while you explore the area it is a fantastic cozy cottage. Thanks for a great stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Clean beach house
House was very clean. Factory next door was loud as well as highway behind house. House was not located on Lake Michigan…had a long walk down unstable stairs (with no railing) to get to beach…not suitable for handicap individuals. Traffic was loud and factory had fumes and noisy during the day. No cards or games of any sort.

Cute, secluded cottage, nice for couple. Beach is farther than listing. Shower very small
Cute cottage, but shower needs attention: shower doors do not slide easily and come off track, water handle pulls right off, shower drain cover is unattached to floor, leaving drain pipe easily exposed.
First rental we’ve had that had a key for entry and not a lock box. Concerned that any previous guest could have made copy of said key for nefarious reasons.
Overall, not excellent but good. Kitchen very good. Queen bed fine though bedroom is small for the size of bed. Quiet neighbors. Flooring is attractive. It was clean and towels were fine.
Negatives: Definitely not for handicapped or mobility impaired. The nice, large deck has two steps of normal height and then a 2-inch final step that blends in with the deck and trips one. I fell once because of it. A bright strip is needed to alert one to the final 2-inch step.
The shower is small and old. Size was not a problem to either of us because we are not overweight. For large people it would be difficult. The greater problem was one of the shower doors was off the track and I could not get it back on. The shower is the worst problem. Window venetian blinds worked fine on three windows. Four others either did not work or partially worked.
A new air conditioning/heating system installation is in process. Due to wonderful weather, we did not need the small window a/c. We were thankful for space heaters some mornings. Living area furniture (hide-a-bed sofa and chair) were functional for sitting but not great.
We enjoyed our stay but probably would not return unless we knew maintenance had been completed. It has the feel of a project in process--which eventually could be very nice.

Left on your own to figure it out!
We booked the cabin for three nights and received a reply that instructions would be sent before our arrival. We did not receive them. When we arrived at 4:00 pm Saturday, we called the contact number, and he said that the key was under the mat. The cottage had not been cleaned. Dirty dishes in the dishwasher, wet sheets in the washer, no tp or paper towels, and a very nice fireplace with no remote or instructions. Two different sets of Instructions to access the beach were unclear. We ended up driving to Hagar Park. The queen sized bed shown on the website is a sofabed. Trundle bed in bedroom. Fix these issues, and it could be perfect. Surrounded by trees and very quiet.
Thought it was nice just got sick so had to leave early. Wish they would show more of where it’s at in listing. But the backyard is cozy and so is the house. Everything was clean. John was a nice host
