Wonderful and unique place
We stayed at the Creekside Cottage which was a good size for the six of us. There is a huge screen porch on the back. We were able to grill our own food one night on the very nice gas grill. My grandsons loved the heated pool. The grounds were beautiful. The chickens and ducks were fun to watch. We opted in for breakfast two mornings and the food was exceptional!

Family christmas
The property is on a secluded dirt road in a rustic area. The fact that it's pet friendly was amazing. We walked the snowy trails, had I thought about it I would have brought my snowshoes. The heaters are a little loud but the cabin had a nice cozy feel.

Relaxing getaway
We couldn't be happier with our stay! It's a piece of country life close to the city. Heated pool for year round fun. Hiking trails along the river and through the wooded acreage were enjoyable and not harsh. We enjoyed the Jacuzzi tub in our bathroom every day. The breakfasts were unique and exceptional! Loved them! We had a fire going in our fireplace the whole time we were there. Local restaurants were great for lunch/dinner and drinks. We also took a walk on the beach which was only a mile away from the farm! Eric and Julie were great hosts! Thank you for opening up your farm to us! Jimmy and Krista

First taste of life outside quarantine bubble, and it was delightful
As a stressed-out covid scaredy cat, I feared that our first foray beyond our carefully constructed bubble in Chicago would be a disaster. Well I'm happy to report that we had a splendid time at this Creekside Cottage in Berrien County, MI. The cottage is lovely, with plenty of space for our 4 adults and 2 dogs. My favorite place is next to the large table on the screened-in porch overlooking the hill down to the creek, where there's lots of space for folks to sit and listen to the forest, commune with friends and dogs, practice yoga, nap, whatever :-) Our farm-to-table breakfasts were delicious. Our walks through the woods (with and without dogs) were slow and healing. There's a bike in the shed to fit most frames, and lots of watercraft down by the river. Remember to bring your favorite bug spray and use it liberally. Sure, we saw some ticks, but they were woozy from our multi-layered defenses --> for human skin and dog fur: natural repellent; for human outerwear: we used the spray bottles of permethrin that were placed all about the property. For dogs: we gave them one of those systemic anti-tick/flea medicines. And one dog is on chemotherapy for cancer. The ticks had no chance against us. Make reservations for restaurants - not all are open yet, so the lines can be long on any day, especially if you want to be outside. And bring sun block! I saw a lot of sunburned people out there. I think they would have eaten inside if it weren't covid times. While there, we actually ate at our first Indoor Restaurant post-pandemic in New Buffalo -- all in our group are vaccinated -- and it was amazing! So freeing to eat together indoors without fear. When we ate outside, it was because that's what we chose. Long story short, Julie and Eric are exceptional hosts, and Creekside Cottage within Goldberry Woods is spectacular. Great time had by all.
