Good place to stay

Awesome place to stay. Beach is just a short walk away. Only about 10 mins from shopping and restaurants. Right around the corner from Dollar General and a small family restaurant. Highly recommend!

Boat House getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Boat House. It’s location was great for visiting Port Huron and Lexington. The space was lakeside charming and just right for two seniors. We would come again if our travel was in the area.

Home away from home

This is our second time staying at the cottages. Perfect location across from the beach, and park. Clean and comfortable. Lots of games for playing indoors when cool, and an outdoor fire pit , volleyball court and outdoor toys for playing outdoors. The host is very responsive, and super helpful. Perfect place whether visiting in the summer or Fall.

Blue water

All was great, although the grill gas tank was empty and the two houses behind and across from the cottages were in I’ll repair but blocked from all but the last cottage.

Two senior ladies had fun

Everything we were hoping for was achieved. The cottage itself was lovely and the amenities were great. We could drive to the park across the street and sit on the beach. A nearby restaurant served incredible fresh fish. It was VERY hot but the AC worked great and we played cards. A nice picnic table right outside the door was perfect for morning coffee and a journal session. Highly recommended.

Adorable

When you pull in just ignore the mess to the left as it doesn't reflect where you will be staying. Sadly it is someones elses mess. Your rental will be very clean and neat, and have nothing amiss. The beach and park across the street are great! And the restaurant that is a 3 minute walk was a plus. And not to far, about a mile or two is a great place for breakfast!

Lovely Cottage

The Boathouse was delightful. The property was clean and well situated. It was well appointed and very clean, with everything we needed and nicely decorated. The communication from the property owner was timely and accurate. We had a lovely time and plan to stay here again as we enjoy this area of Michigan very much.

Enjoyed our stay!

Was a great place for our family of 4. Good location and the property was nice and clean. The parking pad for our cottage was pretty tight for a pickup truck to navigate, but there was parking across the street available. Thank you!

Couple getaway

Such a beautiful and well appointed cottage. We had an issue the first night and the owners were quick to respond and resolved the issue. The cottage is across the street from a park with a small beach, we enjoyed sunbathing there. A quick commute to Lexington, great restaurants and shopping. Walk to the Tally Ho from the boathouse for lunch or dinner, nice locals. We would definitely recommend the Lakeshore cottages!

Cousin weekend

Went for a cousin weekend and stayed here on a recommendation from a friend. It was clean, easy to get to and there is a beautiful park across the street. There is a cute bar within walking distance. Good bar food. It was a wonderful place to stay.

Lovely Cottage

The Boathouse Cottage was so cute! Backyard with chairs, picnic table, and wood for a fire. Inside was clean and had everything you’d need for a weeks stay, or longer. The park across the street offered walkways, and the beach was just a short walk. I would definitely recommend!

Nice place to stay for a Port Huron visit

We were there for a baseball tournament and instead of staying in a hotel, we stayed at the cottage as it allowed for some privacy and was cheaper than the hotel. Just a 20 min to Port Huron and had everything that we needed.
