The house was great. Very nice decor with comfortable beds. The location is good for getting to St Joseph and the wineries. The beach is very close. We look forward to renting again.
We had a wonderful time is this beautiful and well maintained cottage. It was even better than the pictures. Just a quick 5 minute drive to the nearest beach. I would highly recommend to any friend wanting to stay by Lake Michigan and would definitely return again!
We have stayed at numerous VRBO homes and this was a favorite for sure! Beautifully decorated, extremely clean and situated in the perfect place! The outdoor patio and fire pit was an added bonus each day! We had breakfast on the patio and a fire each evening. Thank you for sharing you home with us!
Property was easy to find via GPS. Looked exactly as pictured on site, was very clean, and beautifully decorated. All amenities were appropriate and appreciated. Had great communication with Thomas and Cynthia throughout the stay. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area! Danke Schoen!
This home has a lovely decor and well-stocked kitchen. Huge TV and lovely backyard. We enjoyed the nice coffeemaker and owner-provided beans! Great communication with the thoughtful owners. It's set back on a somewhat busy road but has excellent windows so it wasn't an issue.
Recently visited Friday Fowls Cottage for the first time. We were up in Michigan for a nearby Sprint Triathlon, 2 couples. This cottage was perfect for our adventures after the Triathlon. Very close to a Lake Michigan public beach and many local foodie spots.
Friday Fowls Cottage has 2 very comfy bedrooms and an updated full bath. The outdoor shower is also a great addition after a day at the beach or sunbathing on the backyard patio. Wish we had time to utilize the fire pit, supplied with much firewood.
A must-stay if you are in the area.
This was a nice place for our family of 5. Location was perfect. Really close to Rocky Gap Beach and less than ten minutes from Silver beach. We would definitely stay again.
We had such a wonderful weekend at the Cottage! The space was clean and cute, the proximity to downtown was great, and the sauna/hot tub combo made for such a relaxing trip! Would highly recommend this rental to a friend, and we would stay again!
Nice & cozy. Loved the fireplace & sauna. Thomas & Cynthia were great hosts. The home was very clean & had everything we needed. We will come back for another stay.
