We loved this little beach cottage! This was our first time staying in Douglas. So pleased with how close everything was. Downtown Douglas in 5 minutes, the beach walkable, Saugatuck in 10 minutes. The cottage was in the perfect location and just what we needed. Adam was a great host, very communicative and helpful. The cottage was great for our little family - kids ages 5, 4 and 1. We started every day with coffee from Woosah just down the street and then spent the days outside at the beach, parks and exploring town. Would recommend!!!

What an amazing lake house! We will definitely be staying here again. It's a great space, the sunroom is so beautiful, everything is very tidy, and the kitchen has everything you'd need to cook for the family. The location was also perfect -- tranquil (deer and bunnies were frequent passerby) and it took just minutes to walk to the beach. I am so glad we stayed here.
