it’s this time of year that i get a hankering for a little cottage time, and preferably one where it’s cozy and snowing. i keep seeing this sweet spot popping up around the internet (and it was featured in Better homes and Gardens) and was instantly smitten with its charm. meet the @theleocottage in Union Pier, Michigan, a rental property available for your holidays and just a 1,000 feet from the beach (in case you’d also like to spend some summer days here). its owned and beautifully styled by kate marker interiors, completely remodeled with three bedrooms and what looks to be a very welcoming kitchen and lounging space, not to mention the clawfoot bathtub in the master bedroom — dreamy! i love the idea of a lakeside cottage, even in winter — seems like the perfect spot to light that fire and watch the snow come down with a good book. for more about renting it, visit their website here.
