Amazing beach, clean water, and the house has everything you need! Had to reach out to owner and she was super quick to respond and address our issue! We have stayed here every summer for the last five years and plan to return in 2026!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, location is beautiful and very peaceful. The beach was perfect and we all enjoyed swimming everyday. Thanks you again for hosting us and we look forward to visiting again!
Very cute but older cottage in which we had a memorable family getaway. Was surprised by the hill we had to walk down to beach. I had to take my time but was manageable.
Great get away! The cottage was bigger then expected and we loved the views of the lake from the front. The pictures are a bit dark and I was pleasantly surprised. The home is clean and well stocked to grill and make meals. We enjoyed Caseville and eating out too. Highlight of our trip was how much our dog Bode loved the lake and swam non stop in the shallow lakefront. The hike up and down the hill was a good workout for us but could be difficult on an elderly person or anyone with joint or knee issues. Otherwise we liked a good reason to get a workout in as we went to and from the huge beach front. We would stay again!
We had a noce long weekend in Caseville and this little cabin on the lake was great. It has a beautiful private beach. Everything you would need for kids to play in the sand. Town nearby has everything you need and more. Very private. The home is an older home but taken care of ao well. We had a great time and will definitely be back.
We enjoyed our stay , close to the beach. We were able to bring our dogs which was great The oven was a little tricky cause the mob isnât on so u have to kinda guess at temperature but everything worked out. Will definitely stay again
We needed a location that wasn't too warm, allowed us some summer fun (beach kayaking etc) and time together. This house was perfect for everyone. Lots of fun and love had by all!!
We had a very nice time at this cottage. It had everything we needed. The location was perfect for going to Caseville. I would definitely rent this cottage again.
We have stayed in Caseville for the past 40 years at 2 primary properties and have been trying to find our next primary. This home has ranking opportunities. The water is nice and shallow but not as clear as the "other side of the point" but nice accommodations within the home. We will be returning.
We all enjoyed our stay; we were right off of the beach; there were improvements on the cottage from when we were there from a couple of years ago. We had to contact owner re: mixed wires about when we were arriving-she was extremely easy to get ahold of and within a few minutes the problem was rectified. I was extremely impressed with her. It is a lovely cottage; there is a very private feel about it. We would come back again; this was our 2nd stay there.
My wife and I were looking for somewhere to take a quick 2 day beach break with our dog. This place was perfect! The house was clean, the property and beach were beautiful and neighboring Caseville offered great food and shops. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year. Thank you :)
This was a great cottage for a relaxing trip to the thumb with my parents, their dog, and my dog. The place was clean, comfortable, and had beautiful views of the water.
The property was very private despite being close to neighbors. The beach was clean and the water was shallow and clear. We enjoyed spending some time on the beach.
There is a steeper than expected hill off the back patio to get to the beach, which isn't shown clearly in photos and was tough for my 65YO parents. There is a railing on one side though and we made it work. The patio had a nice firepit, grill, and table/chairs.
Inside, the cottage is quaint with the perfect amount of rusticness. The listing photos do not do justice to the beauty; the windows, wood beams, and openness add to the charm.
There was a great breeze from the windows and plenty of fans. Tons of seating and sleeping options.
As for having dogs with us, I have no complaints. They loved the beach and since the floors are tile I didn't worry about them tracking sand inside because it was easy to clean up.
It's a short drive to Caseville/Port Austin/Bad Axe so families staying here have plenty of entertainment/dining options. Caseville and Port Austin have lots of dog-friendly dining options.
Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend this place to others.
We stayed Friday to Monday. The weather was great and the water was warmer than we thought it would be. For people who have a hard time walking, like myself, it was difficult. The approach to the beach looks easier on the site and not so much of a hill. However we did have a great time. The one down side is when we opened the place up, it was very musty.
We had a great weekend at this property.
The beach was great and the house was clean and roomy.
I didn't realize the steepness of hill to the beach, so just keep that in mind when you're booking.
The beach is lovely, lake shallow and the water clear. House is comfortable and clean, some window cranks are broken, and some electrical outlets donât work. An outdoor hose would be most welcome to hose off feet and the dog when coming up from the beach. There is a handrail to assist the inclined walk to the beach. I would recommend more lighting in the house and some info from the owner about about the Caseville area. A very enjoyable stay at the property!
nice quiet neighborhood, most of the neighbors were welcome, birds yes,bees not so much, deer yes, bats only when they stayed outside, same as the ants. most everything we needed was supplied but left a few items that will be helpful for next tenants. Had a memorial time thanks for that, looking forward for next year.
Overall the house is very nice. A bit dated and a little small but worked for us just fine and the price point reflects that. Check in and Check out couldn't of been easier. I would love to give it 5 Stars but there are just a few tweaks that if made, could make this a standout property. Even with the cons listed below - we would stay again.
Pros:
For the most part very clean - need to address cobwebs in corners, ceiling, windows - and big window in LVRM needs to be cleaned.
Kitchen equipped with everything you'd need except a cutting board??
Bathroom remodeled and very nice
Beds were comfortable
Nice Washer & Dryer
Plenty of Linens supplied
Patio & Patio Fire Pit
Location
View
Beach
Cons:
Outside of house covered in spider webs and dead bugs
Tree on patio full of spiders that love to drop down on you while you're enjoying your morning coffee - Suggest taking that tree out (and I hate to cut down trees) and trim the trees in the lower yard up so you have a clear view of the bay or just add a patio umbrella to the table and the spiders will drop down on that?
Patio chairs are uncomfortable without cushions
Steps or better graduated approach down to beach area - yard is pretty steep - you can get down there easily enough but older people or anyone with bad knees would have an issue.
80% of the window cranks do not work
Clean. Comfortable. All amenities perfect. Nice deck with firepit table and chairs. Only drawback because of my age was a steepish hill to the beach. Had a great time. Water is as clear as a bath. We'll be back THANKS.
The house was dated but nice. No a/c but that was never an issue since there were plenty of fans. The windows need some maintenance/replacement. Upon leaving there was one window we couldnât close completely. We would love to stay here again though. We loved the location and the beach was peaceful. A little spider/bug spray would do wonders here.
We have come for the second year in a row . Our goldens love the beach , itâs very clean and has a great beach feel . Windows a litt hard to open and close but otherwise we enjoyed our stay
