Enjoyed my 2 night get-away with friends. I would call it a 6 person property for sleeping accommodations. Appreciated the closeness to the lake and the cozy atmosphere of the cottage. We all hope to return next year!
Overall, we had a very nice time. The house was immaculately clean, and the neighborhood was quiet. This was our first trip to Wisconsin so everything was a new experience for us. We were disappointed that even in August several things were closed, but of course that has nothing to do with the owners of our rental.
The owners have done a nice job of updating the houseâboth bathrooms have beautiful tile, and the refinished hardwood floors are charming. We also really liked the soothing paint colors. We didn't use the upstairs shower, as the light fixture was broken and a desk lamp was being used in that space instead (concerned about fire hazard).
There are a few things that could have made the stay even better. While we never do elaborate cooking on a vacation, there were quite a few basic things that were missing, including a stock pot for making pasta, a vegetable peeler, measuring cups and spoons, ice cream scoop, and dish drainer.
The main bedroom could use small tables on either side of the bed, particularly for those of us who require glasses and need a spot to keep them safe at night.
While the front porch was wonderful, the backyard was a disappointment. There was a table and chairs in the yard, but all were so filthy that we couldn't eat outside. I know it is work to keep a set like that clean (this needed a good power washing), so honestly it would be better not to provide if that is too much maintenance.
Our family of four really enjoyed this location and the home. It had all of the basics we needed plus some extras and the couple of minor items I had questions about were handled promptly by the property owner. Very clean, especially for being dog friendly! AC worked well. Cute decor and appreciate it was sparse so we had room for our items. Updated first floor bath was really nice. Appreciated the bikes and the beach wagon. Neighbors we met were friendly and the new fresh coast bar nearby was a fun stop before dinner. Suggestions - at this price point we felt the first floor bedroom needs nightstands of some kind and a dresser or similar for storage vs the old armoire that is there - wasnât very functional for a five night stay. Backyard dining furniture is in very rough shape. 2nd floor bath needs proper lighting. A larger/nicer living room couch would be nice. Overall this was a very nice home and great location and we would stay here again!
This cottage is at a perfect vacation spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The washer and dryer were very useful. The kitchen was fully stocked.
A few comments about the first floor bedroom. It would be useful to have 2 nightstands for eye glasses and cell phones. The old TV armoire could be replaced with a dresser to put clothes in. I saw there was one upstairs. Other then that, this cottage is Amazing!
My wife and I stayed here six nights while waiting for our new house to be completed. Every morning we walk to the beach to watch the sun rise. We enjoyed our stay. (We also had a pet.)
We enjoyed our stay at the lakeview cottage. The place was very nice and close to the beach. It was also conveniently located for short drives to a number of attractions in Two Rivers and Manitowoc.
We enjoyed the fantastic beach on Lake Michigan. The house was special, well equipped and inviting. You can see the lake from the front porch. Thank you so much!
