I did not expect my 6 year old’s favorite part of our annual sister bay trip to be the automatic card shuffler he discovered at beachwood cottage.. but kids are weird like that, and it seems like the Welter family anticipated it! As they did so many other things. That you might need a spare beach towel, white noise machine, not have space for firewood in the trunk, and/or want the perfect family selfie spot after a week of taking pics of your kids and not being in any of them… The cabin is adorable, was clean and stylish when we arrived. Their local guide was super useful and pushed us to peninsula state park for an epic bike ride (highly recommend edge of the wood rentals). The surrounding woods were beautiful, and the seclusion gave this city family a very welcome break from Chicago condo life! Looking at our calendars to see when we can return next year before the kids declare they’re too big to share a room… hopefully we get another year or two here :)
