Little Grey Cottage - Beautifully decorated large vacation home - Walking distance to Lake Michigan!

Welcome to Little Grey Cottage

Start making lifelong memories from the minute you pull into the not-so Little Grey Cottage. This home has an abundance of space with four bedrooms and four bathrooms and is within walking distance to Douglas public beach. The Little Grey Cottage awaits the joy, laughter, and countless stories to be made in it.

INSIDE THE HOME
Be ready to be amazed as you walk inside as natural light spreads through the entire home. Enter into the private living space setup that leads you to a large, open concept kitchen. This updated kitchen is ready and equipped for your next meal. Stainless steel appliances throughout with a large, unique center island. The kitchen is equipped with the basics to get you through your stay. There is seating for six around the kitchen island and six around the dining room table. Off the kitchen and dining room, you will find a large but cozy great room and a screened-in porch, perfect for your morning coffee..There are two bedrooms on the main level of this home along with two full baths and a laundry room.

Wander upstairs to get an aerial view of the seating area below. Two additional bedrooms can be found upstairs. There is a bunk room with two bunk beds and then the master suite. All four bedrooms provide plenty of space to spread yourselves out and get a good night's rest. The master suite has an ensuite that also connects to an additional living space. This large bonus room opens up to be the perfect room for a movie night. This bonus room wraps around the main level so there are two different access points.

This home sleeps 10 guests
Bedroom 1 (main level): Queen Bed
Bedroom 2 (main level): Two twin beds
Bedroom 3 (upper level): Two twin bunk beds

OUTSIDE SPACE
Outside you will find additional spaces to extend the family fun. There are front and back porches perfect for enjoying a little quiet time. There is also a large side yard that has been known to host some pretty competitive badminton and croquet matches. There is a hammock in the backyard as well. Just when you start to think it couldn't get any better, walk down the street to find the public beach. Play in the sand and watch the best sunsets. When you come back, follow the little path on the side of the house to rinse off in the outdoor shower and settle in for the night.

Nice Stay at the Little Grey Cottage!
We rented the Little Grey Cottage for a family girls weekend. It slept the six of us pretty comfortably. Pros: Loved having four full bathrooms between six ladies. Quick 10 minute walk to Douglas beach. Loved the open floor plan and community kitchen - made great memories laughing and eating together. Provided lots of cleaning supplies and paper towel (sometimes VRBO's are skimpy on supplies). Fully stocked kitchen was wonderful to cook in! The management team was always quick to respond to questions and check-in/out was super easy. Cons - The outside is a little shabby and needs some love, first impression wasn't great, but inside was beautiful and clean! The living room furniture is very well worn and not that comfortable. Two of us had to sleep in the lower bunks...probably fine for kids under 100 lbs, but not comfortable for adults. The mattress pads are pretty thin. There were also four broken chairs in the dining room. Not a big deal, there were plenty others to use. None of the cons were deal breakers, just general feedback for the property owners! Overall, a nice stay and would recommend.

We had a great time
We really did have a great time. The home is very adequate. And mostly as described. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the screened in porch, the grilling area, and the trash cans.
