Description Description
The cottage exterior greets guests with a charming wood picket gate and an award-winning garden featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Upon entering, patterned floors and a charming palette provide the utmost in cottage comfort. Two queen bedrooms are perfectly appointed, in addition to a generous bunk room that sleeps 4. The main bedroom and bathroom showcase a stand-alone clawfoot tub, ideal for the kids to bathe in after a day at the beach or for enjoying some private time with a glass of wine. Vaulted ceilings and rustic exposed beams lend a dramatic aspect to the main living area, while accents of rattan, rope, natural fiber, whitewash, and shiplap contribute to the home's Lake Michigan vacation themes. Perhaps the greatest feature of the home is the wood-burning, free-standing fireplace in the front family room.

The Leo Cottage kitchen has been updated to include many modern amenities while still retaining a vintage lake house feel, with newly installed kitchen cabinets, appliances, lighting, and faucets. You'll love preparing tonight's vegetables in the generous farmhouse sink! The well-equipped kitchen includes an oversized center prep island with bar stools for entertaining, plus a breakfast area with booth seating. Serve in the gorgeous dining room or extend the options for gathering over meals to the outdoors with a large furnished patio and a well-appointed screened-in gazebo to keep the bugs away.

Guests will also have access to a private hot tub (a great place to unwind), a fire pit area, and an outdoor shower to rinse away the sand after a long day at the beach. The Leo Cottage comes with 2 adult bikes and 2 children's bikes for guest use, along with beach chairs and a ping-pong table in the garage for some family entertainment. With so much to offer, this home is sure to provide your family with beautiful and lasting memories!

This home was just lovely- it checked the box for all that we needed it for: a place to get away, a lovely design, a big kitchen to cook thanksgiving dinner.

The Leo Cottage was its own little secret garden on the outside and a boutique hotel but homey feel inside. It was a perfect getaway for our family of five! We stayed for 9 nights, felt right at home and loved every aspect!

This property was a little piece of bliss! Relaxing but also made to entertain. I used it for my 40th birthday celebration. The first night was me and 4 girlfriends and then 2nd night was just my husband and I. Both nights were incredible!

We had a great stay at the Leo Cottage. It was super cute, clean, had lots of bath towels, plenty of beds and bathrooms and fun amenities like the hot tub, fire pit and bikes. We were very comfortable. I also enjoyed the nice gardens around the house with the very pretty flowers and hostas. It was a short ~4-5 minute walk to Berrien public beach and a short drive to the things we scheduled to do like kayaking, e-bike rental, and restaurants.
