My family had a great weekend away at The Red Door Cottage. Very peaceful property to relax, enjoy the views, and have a fun family weekend. We were very happy to be able to bring our two Frenchies as well. The house was very clean, spacious, and had several amenities like games, yard games, kayaks and canoes. Really enjoyed sitting on the upper deck to the house and loved how didn't have a stair case so dogs were contained as well. West Shore Vacation was wonderful to work with. Quick responses to any question. We spent days driving to Ludington to explore as not far away. Highly recommend and we look forward to renting again in the future.

The cottage was wonderful. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on the chilly, rainy fall nights. Great yard and areas to enjoy being outside.. unfortunately the rain kept us from really being able to enjoy it.

The home was extremely well kept. Plenty of space for two families to come together. The property management company was excellent with communication. There are enough activities in the house without even including the lake. You can launch your boat nearby (1/4 mile) and dock it right out back! We had a phenomenal time! Neighbors are super friendly as well. The only thing I can suggest is making sure people know when booking that cell service is severely lacking so you may need an actual map or written directions to find the house. Wi-Fi worked great once we were there. No service wasn’t a problem for us but it could be for some. Overall amazing experience!!

A lovely private get away.

We stayed here with our two teenage boys and dog. It exceeded our expectations. The house was beautiful and had everything we could have needed. There was more than enough room for all of us. The boys loved fishing, boating, and kayaking. Our fur-baby felt welcome which isn't always how it feels when you have a pet. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice and offered towels, linens, soaps, streaming service and internet. The kitchen had everything you could need. The grill was a bit dirty, but not a big deal. We didn't mind being in the "bayou" part of the lake as some people. There is a party store/sub-pizza place right down the road. Overall, we had a great week
& enjoyed the rental very much.

Home and lake were perfect! Both very clean!

The home was beautiful and immediately comfortable to be in. It provided a great space for family of all ages to have their space and hang out. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked with cooking and baking dishes. The grassy area by the water had some issues with goose droppings, which made it difficult to play down there. Yet it was wonderful to be able to dock the boats. The property management company was excellent at communications and answered all my questions. Will definitely recommend and consider staying at again!

The house was cozy and inviting. We loved the views from the large windows and watching movies by the fireplace. I would recommend this house and it’s as beautiful as the pictures.
