Carrie's Cottage is a duplex style cottage in Harbor Country that has two distinct sides perfect for group gatherings (both are included for the low nightly rate)! One side features three bedrooms, two full baths, full kitchen and MASSIVE great room ideal for hosting larger groups! The other side is a "studio" style set up with a third private full bathroom, and small kitchenette. The two units are separate and are both rented at booking unless otherwise requested. Each unit has it's own private entrance. The house has a large FENCED yard has mature trees, fire pit, and ample space to relax and hang out!
Short 5 min walk (less than 1/4 mile) to semi private beach (shared with 8 other homes) with TWO kayaks provided! We are located on a bluff so there are approximately 50 stairs down to the beach which may be diffucult for guests with health or joint issues. There is one rest bench along the way. Beach and bath towels NOT provided. No laundry facilities on site (laundromat about 1/2 mile away). Please note location of the property on map to Red Arrow Highway and train tracks. Train passes daily at approximately at 8a, 11a, 2p, and 8p. Pets must be crated whenever left unsupervised.
The great room was perfect for hosting our large family gathering. The beach was close by and incredible. We appreciated having access to all the beach chairs and sand toys.
We enjoyed our stay ay Carrie's Cottage, there was plenty of room in the great room for everyone to gather. The fenced in backyard allowed for the kids to safely play outside. Spacious deck for family barbeque nights. Beautiful private beach access is available. Enjoy!
Really nice owners who were very attentive to our needs . Beach down the road and beautiful. Lawn chairs available . Individual room air conditioners which sometimes blasted the air continuously was the only negative. Thanks for a lovely stay
Perfect getaway house for three friends looking to relax. Would stay here again. All communication was prompt as needed and location to the beach was scenic and less than five minutes away!
This is a great location and was a good place for our family to gather for the weekend. The place was clean and we enjoyed the open room. Close to the private beach access and walkable to food. The new owners are working on providing additional amenities but a great place to relax with family.
The location was great, with several restaurants, walking trails, and the beach very close by. The lawn was a bit overgrown, and we had a little trouble with the locking mechanism, but overall we had a great time! The beach access was a quick walk with easy instructions, the chairs were a great touch, and the rooms were all comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
The home was clean and roomy with everything we needed. I like the suite with the separate entrance for some peace and quiet from the younger part of the group! The beach was absolutely beautiful and just a short walk away, but prepare for a tough hike back, all uphill, when youâre done!
Nearby New Buffalo was a gorgeous beach town with shops and restaurants aplenty! Its public beach was also lovely!
We had a great trip, thank you!
This property is accomodates a larger group comfortably. Our group included 4 adults, a teen and a child. We enjoyed the spacious rooms, deck area and being near the beach:)
We had a small family reunion over the 4th of July - and this place ended up being a perfect arrangement! Great deck and fenced in backyard with large shade trees allowed us to spend every waking hour outside, comfortably, with pets. While located on Red Arrow Highway, noise was not a problem for us and this property has unique beach access privileges - which we very much leveraged. Owner was present and helpful / accomodating. We had a great stay!
We had a great time at this property! Super cool access to the lake! We plan to book this property again in the future! This is not a fancy property but it is priced just how it should be! Do not be scared to book! This was the absolute best place I could imagine for our family!
We so enjoyed our stay at Carrieâs Cottage, the Beach access was wonderful! We enjoyed the walk & even the stairs, were great exercise! The Beach is BEAUTIFUL! Great communication! Property is just as pictured. Not fancy, but clean & close walk to the Beach! It was just the solitude we were looking for.
We drank beer by the fire, hung out on the deck, cooked breakfasts, drank coffee and went to the lakeshore! Great location to our wedding venue at Blissful Barn. Bakeries, antique shopping was so much fun! This place has provided us with a great memory of friends and family. Our dog was comfortable too! Host Paul was very kind and accommodates us well!
The place was clean, with plenty of hot water and decent water pressure. The beds are comfortable and everyone slept well. We were not disturbed by the trains. The wood pile was very nice.
Paul, one of the owners, was very helpful. He was the right combination of helpful and available, but not intrusive.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
The house was nice. The outside could use a spruce up. For the price and size it was good
She addressed our concerns right away. We have a son who is disabled and family members who are older and had no idea getting to the semi private beach would be so difficult from her post. She has updated to include that. Overall our stay was good. We will be back.
Les points faibles : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
Large space with potential
Could benefit from some TLC inside and out. Train runs more often and later than what was listed. Safety railing should be installed on the deck and the furniture needs to be replaced to make it family friendly.
Large great room for group gatherings, fenced yard, short walk to the beach. Duplex style allows for large gathering area for group activities or separate areas for guests to retire to. Pet friendly with fenced yard.
