WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY... About La Bella Vie Cottage:
The property is lovely, quiet, and plenty of room to spread out and throw a football or play corn hole. Our family has been to Myrtle Beach, and other such vacations… but I can honestly say that if you are looking for some quiet family time to reconnect and slow down… You could not choose a better location. We came home feeling refreshed, rather than exhausted. Stacy K.
The cottage was perfect... Beautiful property surrounded by trees and flowers. A short, enjoyable walk or drive to Lake Michigan and a gorgeous stretch of beach. Beth P.
We had such a fun time.. It's in a great location... Linda and Greg provided many suggestions for other attractions in the area that we enjoyed exploring. Sarah R.
The toy closet was a huge hit! The beds were super comfy! Michelle W.
The thoughtfulness and detail that you put into making your cabin a welcoming retreat was very much appreciated. We can’t wait to come and stay again. Stacy K.
I am so glad we stayed here. It was exactly as the pictures showed it... very clean and had everything we needed. I would stay here again! Lauren C.
The amount of personal care and attention ladled out to this cozy cottage by its owners puts it notches above ordinary vacation spots. Dennis A.
Linda had thought of all the extras to make a seamless transition from home to cottage – from extra pillows and blankets, to a little closet stocked with collections of blocks, Legos, beautiful books and board games, it was perfect... Easily a 5+ star vacation... Erin H.
La Bella Vie is spotlessly clean... It's more like staying in a well-appointed private home than a worn-out rental property, because it IS... Dennis A.
Linda's is our favorite so far... the house is such a cute place, with plenty of room and great decorating touches... such a beautiful home and landscaping. Several nooks and crannies to hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather... Vicki G
WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING... About the Beach and Location:
We fell in love with Cobmoosa Shores and the surrounding community. We wanted something quiet, private, and close to Lake Michigan and this was it! We are so thankful for the memories we've made this past week and the dreams we are dreaming because of our stay in Shelby. Jen H.
Just what our family needed for a lovely getaway— the surrounding woods were the perfect backdrop for the gentle waves of Lake Michigan to wash away our worries and by the end of the week we never wanted to leave. Dylan H.
The beach was absolutely gorgeous! Most days, there were only a few families, so plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the crystal clear water and soft sand. Stacy K.
Beautiful and cozy way to just chill with your significant other and enjoy the nature and beauty around the area. Highly recommend!!! Anthony B.
Had a fabulous day! North beach was our little piece of heaven today! Just got finished BBQing burgers and ready for our first fire and s'mores. Michigan's beautiful! Tracy E.
Highlights... private & clean beach very close, Lewis Farm Market, Rainbow Ranch, Country Dairy, Little Sable [lighthouse], Mac Dunes rides... We loved that everything was in close proximity to the cottage. Diane E.
The association's beach... is one of the best that I've enjoyed over years of visiting Lake Michigan. Dennis A.
The beach, too, was wonderful. Stunning. I watched the sunset over Lake Michigan on a clear calm evening and saw the famous green slash [Northern Lights]. Amanda W.
Where do I even begin with the beach? Beautiful, private, not crowded at all. And the good kind of sand that is soft and white and not a rock in site. Crystal clear water and beautiful views... Erin R.
WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING... About Our Customer Service:
Excellent and open communication with the owners make for a stress free stay... Bobbi S.
We rented most of the extras and appreciated the ability to use them at our disposal. Amy W.
Linda and Greg were attentive hosts. At one point, we had a small problem with a faucet handle, and they arrived to repair it within 15 minutes of my text message! They were wonderful. Amanda W.

Review Score:   10
Summary: Property is nestled in a nice, quiet community and is in an ideal location to travel to nearby harbor towns along Lake Michigan for a day trip. The property owner was very responsive and provided clear & helpful instructions/advice during our stay. Would happily bring my young children for another visit.
