Lovely Lake Michigan getaway
Enjoyed our stay at the sweet Little Hidden Cottage.. It’s a beautiful location right on the lake, and a beautiful place to come home to from hiking and shopping ithe bustle of the Penninsula . We enjoyed watching movies in the cozy 3 season porch and look forward to having a cozy night by the fire at some point in the future..

Amazing Stay
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hidden Shores! The property was gorgeous. The cabin was updated, comfortable, and clean. We enjoyed the three seasons room with great view of the lake! They had everything we could possibly need for a family with small children and a dog. We greatly enjoyed the adventure shed and all that was available. We used the fire pit and the outdoor deck daily. It was a wonderful starting off point for exploring the rest of Door County. Thanks for the great accommodations!

Perfect Family Weekend
Hidden Shores Cottage was the perfect home base for exploring Door County. While we were there during off season, we can imagine this little perfect pocket right along the lake as the best way to escape crowds and traffic in high season as well. The cottage has been updated and super comfy with nice linens / amenities and a view that can’t be beat. Even our teenager was inspired to wake at 6:00 each morning to welcome the sun from the hammock while there is still snow on the ground. We will definitely be back to enjoy the view and 3 season porch!

Beautiful lakeshore cottage
My wife and I stayed four rainy days at the cottage. The rental is well equipped, particularly for young active families. The lake is just out the back door, there is a large deck for viewing. The lakeshore is rocky but the water looks shallow with a sandy bottom. We enjoyed warm fires in the fireplace. The cottage is a great location forexploring Door County and nearby Weinke's Market is a wonderful place for local produce and preserves. I think a space heater in the three seasons room would be a welcome addition on colder Fall days.

Birthday present _ Hidden Shores
We loved each detail of the cabin, from the entrance to the woods to the beautiful and peaceful view of Michigan Lake. We arrived on a rainy cold day, but our time there as we celebrated my birthday felt like a unique experience. We enjoyed the simple design of the space, cozy yet truly ample, the modern well-stack kitchen and warm bedrooms made it also a home, the internet worked perfectly, and from the windows, a gorgeous and endless view of trees and waves that turned into a shimmering landscape with the sun. We spent time inside and outside, we kept warm in front of the fireplace having our dinners and family/board games with our teen daughter who loved the stay and hopes to come back to use the kayak and canoe! "Live life simply," the sign said: a perfect birthday gift for body and soul! Thank you again!

Feel like you’re far far away!!!
One of the most well-equipped rentals we have ever been in!!! So many thoughtful touches by the owners to make sure there’s something for all family members- young, old AND furry!!!! Easy to communicate with, everything was as advertised. One trick we didn’t realize until our second day, though- those really cool looking metal sculptures in the living room are lamps! 🤣 Location is perfect- close enough to shopping, restaurants and things to do but far enough away from the Door County crowds. You’ll love it here, no matter the season!! We can’t wait to go back!

Amazing view and tons of toys!
This property has one of the best lake views we’ve ever had in a rental property. The outdoor furniture to appreciate said view is top notch. There is a lot of privacy too. The main room. kitchen, and bedrooms have been updated. The bathroom has not but it’s adequate. There are so many toys and amenities for all ages. Extra people could easily crash on the 3 season room comfy couches. Even the driveway has been updated with nice concrete, so you are not looking for a grass driveway like all the instructions say. The only draw back is that the expansive rock sea wall makes it almost impossible to reach the water. I asked the management company if there was another way down but did not get a response. Also if you’re looking to work remotely, this probably isn’t the place for you as the Wi-Fi is pretty weak, even causing streaming channels to freeze quite often. Also- the Keurig is broken. In all it was a very relaxing place and we’d definitely stay here again!

Mostly good time
This property is really in a great location and we loved being right by the lake. The home itself was great as far as space went- little short on closet space. We spent much time in the family room. Beautiful views of lake. We however had concerns about some issues like very dirty garbage can in living area-had to bleach it to get rid of smell, bathroom sick was clogged, outdoor grills were both so rusted and dirty that we couldn’t use either. Fire pit was also dirty. When we arrived at home we had to sanitize all the utensils- per notice on refrigerator. So these issues really put a damper on our stay.
