From the reviews
We had a wonderful stay here with our 1.5-year old. The cottage was clean and so cute. We grilled out every night. The family is wonderful and gives the place such a wonderful vibe. They even brought us fresh picked strawberries! The beach is very fun and relaxing, perfect for kids or curling up with a book.
Had a great time by the lake on a socially distant vacation. Staff were attentive and there was plenty of outdoor space for us and our toddlers while keeping more than enough distance from other guests in both the common yard and at the private beach. Easy access to Vermilion attractions and food.
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. We stayed in the Rose cottage which was perfect for us it is right off the lake with beauiful views,sunsets and sunrises, we even saw Eagles.
Thank you for the great stay, hospitality and friendliness. Location was perfect and the guest house was just what we needed. Our own deck, a shared common area and private beach when other cottages.
Getting married at Cottages at the Water's Edge
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
