Fantastic Summer Get Away
Had a wonderful stay at The Farm! The staff was always kind and courteous. The pool was a nice size and we mostly had it all to ourselves. The house had plenty of room, the layout was good, we had 2 adults, 2 kids and 1 dog. The bathrooms were very nice. There were plenty of towels and sheets. The kids had fun walking the garden area and picking vegetables and fruits. The gas grill and the fire pit were nice in the backyard, we made smores and roasted hotdogs. The location was good, short trip to New Buffalo and Union Pier with lots to do.

Wonderful stay in quiet setting
My family recently joined together, at the Creekside Cottage, from several parts of the country. The space was perfect for gathering and spending time together. Two bedrooms have ensuite baths - both very nicely remodeled. Third bedroom has bath just adjacent. The kitchen and main living area has rustic painted wood floors and a wonderful island for putting together puzzles. The bunk room was very cool and exciting for my young nephew. The pool and hot tub are clean and inviting. The ability to swim in Indiana, in February, was amazing. The pool lights made for a lovely evening setting. We enjoyed watching the chickens as well as the deer in the woods across the river. We really wanted to use the new pool table but did not make it happen this trip. Julie and Eric were helpful and kind. We all would love to see the property in the spring / summer to see the gardens come alive. Close to nice dining and Lake Michigan. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing cottage and property!
This cottage has so much to offer! There is a huge family room space with seating for so any. The big, open kitchen worked great for family meals. Everything was clean and there was nothing we were in need of. The grounds were unbelievable. Lots of space to walk around and several hiking trails with great views. We saw so many deer! The barn and the pool were a huge bonus, especially for a winter get away. We will definitely be heading back!

Getaway at Rivers Edge Cottage
This property was ideally located! The organic farm next door and farm animals were delightful! Also, the little farmers market on the premises and the pool were enjoyed by all. The house itself was clean and tidy and very interesting the was it was decorated mixing new and vintage. We all loved it!!

not the experience we were hoping for
First the positives...Julie and Eric were always there for our questions. The staff was always kind and courteous. The pool was a nice size and we mostly had it all to ourselves. The house had plenty of room, the layout was good, we had 7 adults, 6 kids and 1 infant. The bathrooms were very nice. There were plenty of towels and sheets. The kids had fun walking the garden area and picking vegetables and fruits. The gas grill and the fire pit were nice in the backyard, we made smores and roasted hotdogs. Tried to walk the trails but was impossible due to the mosquitoes and spider webs (even with spraying bug spray on yourself). That is just the nature of being on a farm I guess. The location was good, short trip to New Buffalo with lots to do. The things that were slight issues were...2 chairs in the living room area were in need of replacement, when you sat down you sunk so far down you could feel the coils. The front bedroom had a musty smell at times as well as the bunk room. The bed in the front bedroom made very loud squeaky noises every time you moved, don't know if it was the mattress or the wooden frame it was on. We cooked a lot, the kitchen was equipped with lots of dishes but if you plan on cooking like we did you may have to bring some favorite items. The most concerning issues...while at the pool area bees were gathering by the hot tub steps. Two people (one a child) were stung. We did address this with Julie and Eric. They did address it quickly, but because they didn't want to harm the bees, they cleaned the area, made sure there wasn't a nest lurking beneath the steps and tub, and used a natural remedy. But, they came back. I felt like their well being meant more than the guest's. The last thing, which to me and my group was the issue that really made our trip unpleasant was that we killed at least 20 ticks in the house. I know we were on a farm, but I'm pretty sure we didn't bring them in on our person, if so, they would have stayed on our body. We found them crawling on the walls and on the day bed in the living area. We had to constantly be on the look out and it was giving the young mothers anxiety. I give this home 3 stars for overall experience because I was expecting rustic luxury...the pricing per night did not match the quality of the experience.

Thanks for taking the time to review. As noted, there are many features and amenities included that other properties simply do not offer. Working through some of your observations, we have replaced the chairs in the living room with a new leather sectional and also have new mattresses throughout. The honeybees are protected and were likely attracted to something sweet spilled by the hot tub. We did not experience a similar situation all year. Lastly, there absolutely were not any ticks in the house. While they may be present in the woods, they do not walk around inside a house. The house was clean and the bugs were not there prior to your arrival. A quick call to us during your visit would have likely helped alleviate your concerns.

Excellent house to share with family
I rented the River's Edge Cottage with my family for a week in late June. We were able to comfortably sleep 12 people with room to spare. The location is less than a mile from Red Arrow Highway and the town line beach in Union Pier could be reached on foot. The kitchen, living room, basement, and screened in porch were gteat locations for us to spend time the days that it rained. On sunny days we spent time around the pool, walking near the river in the forest, or at the beach. We had a great time and would happily return in the future.

Wonderful place, great location and stellar service
Eric is a great host. The property was clean, spacious and it’s in a great location. The pool and hot tub is top notch. So many things to do in the area and the lake is a little over a mile away. Great place for family gatherings and the kids loved it thanks Eric for your hospitality. We will be back soon.

Woodsy and charming
We had a wonderful stay at the River’s Edge Cottage! The 8 adults and toddler stayed for the Labor Day weekend to celebrate two birthdays. There was plenty of room. The daybeds in the living room got frequent use and were great for naps while listening to the sounds of the river. I liked that the house had some of its original vintage charm. Access to the river and amenities next door to the b&b was great- a beautiful spot for groups, families, and friends. Thank you!
