Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"Kendra's Duet Cottage was the most beautiful and cozy place to rest and recharge! Everything was very clean and well thought out. We were able to cook full meals in the kitchen. The beach sunsets were amazing too! We would love to come back in the summer!" -Shawn-

"The view view on the bluff, a 2 minute walk from your doorstep. Beautiful walk on the way to the bluff. Sunset on the bluff was insanely beautiful. Very private it felt like it was our beach! The stairs back up were a workout but we made it! The cottage was so cute. Comfy king bed. Shower is on the smaller side. Would book again! Insane views! Hidden Gem!" -Lisa-

"Really lovely bright beach house right on a huge dune on Lake Michigan. The instructions were super clear on how to get there and where to park. We loved all of the amenities. The stairs to the beach were sturdy. We ended up walking to the non-stairs public beach entrance just up the street due to ease of access. We appreciated the beach towels and beach chairs. Really all was thought of for the stay." - Amanda-
