Hello sweet blog friends.
I am putting the new bathroom together to show you hopefully this weekend. I am happy how it is coming together.
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a cute vacation rental that Terry and I will be staying at in a few weeks.
We planned an escape from life weekend in May. So need this!!!!!
You know that I love the area and small towns along Lake Michigan in Michigan.
It is only a 2 to 2.5 hour drive for us from Chicago.
 |
| This is the entry to this sweet cottage. Hopefully in the middle of May when we visit some of this will be in bloom. |
 |
| Gorgeous Front Porch. |
 |
| So sweetly decorated. This is definitely a "Kris" cottage! |
 |
| It has beautiful doors and windows to let lots of light in. |
 |
| This is just one of the sweet bedrooms in this home. |
 |
| Lake Michigan at the back door. |
 |
| This is a cute shop inside the old Fire Station in a neighboring town. With Terry being a fire chief I thought this might be a fun place to visit. |
 |
| Fun places to eat. |
 |
| Lots of the restaurants are right on the Lake. I cannot wait to have our escape weekend in May. It really does refresh your soul to have fun little trips like this. Have a great rest of the week. I hope to have the bathroom re do for you this weekend. Hugs, Kris |

It does look like your kind of place. Have a wonderful weekend. I did think of asking you to swing by my way and help with my she shed your styling would be just right. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the perfect little getaway! That cottage is so gorgeous, I'd never want to leave. I could easily live in a place like that. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow fun, this looks like a fabulous place. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteKris, this looks amazing!! I know you will have such a great time and YES, you two definitely need some time away to relax and refresh! I love the look of this cottage and it is definitely a "Kris-style" cottage! Can't wait to see more details and hear about your trip! Love and hugs!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful place to stay!
ReplyDeleteWow, Kris! That place is perfect in every way! You are one lucky girl to find it! Hope you have a relaxing and romantic time!
ReplyDeleteThis place looks wonderful and is so you. Being right on Lake Michigan will be wonderful too. That little shop looks neat. I know you will come home with something great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a romantic spot.

Wow that does look like a fun getaway to go to! The inside of the cottage is adorable and your right it is so you!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing. How fun. I can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteHi! Lake Michigan towns are my favorite but we usually camp. Would you mind telling me the name of this sweet little place? I'm wanting more creature comforts these days. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Pam,
DeleteThis is on VRBO. It is a big home I think 4 bedrooms. So she is very expensive per night in the summer months being so close to the lake. There are a lot of really sweet places along the lake in all the little towns that are a lot less expensive. I think the week after our stay her prices triple for the summer months. I am glad I got the weekend for the lower amount.
Here is the link to the place.

Thank you. I know we waited a bit too long for this summer. Maybe next year for the kids along. Pam
DeleteWhat a great getaway! Enjoy!! xoxox
ReplyDeleteHave fun- You and Terry certainly deserve the break and need the getaway. I need to get the name of this place...and try to get in there sometime next fall. LOVE the way it looks. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a Kris cottage and it is so cute. I hope you enjoy your down time when you get to go. I know how badly you need this!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to have a relaxing time away from everyday life. It does indeed look like a 'Kris' cottage.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week ~ FlowerLady
Oh Kris...I am so jealous but so happy for your getaway! YES! What a darling cottage to stay at too. We stayed at a cute cottage on the beach a few years back and it was the sweetest place ever. I hope that your change of scenery brings you rest and some YOU time. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable cottage! You're right! It's definately you! Looks like a great area with fun places to explore and the beautiful lake! Rejuvenating! Y'all need the break and change of scenery! Love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh nice! I've never been to Michigan- I'd love to visit and stay in such a sweet place! Can't wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fun! I'd sure live there myself full time!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Kris, oh what a lovely house to stay in for the weekend in May. I hope you have great weather for it to. I know you both will have a great time and take a lot of photos. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHappy May and enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.

How I envy you. I'm thinking that perhaps I ought to plan a getaway to the other side of Lake Michigan this summer. (However, I dread the drive to get there from here.) But this place looks like it will make it worth the effort. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks so relaxing! I hope you have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteKris, that vacation rental has your name written all over it! Really, it's like you decorated it. How perfect is that old fire station shop - something for both of you! Enjoy your escape and take lots of pictures. xo
ReplyDeleteThat place looks wonderful ~ just what you both need! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletePerfect for the both of you. :-) I am excited to hear all about it!!
ReplyDeleteWow that really is a Kris Cottage!! Gorgeous, what a great place for an escape!!
ReplyDeleteHow clever of you to have found a 'Kris Cottage' to rent! It looks fantastic - it has got some turquoise in there as well, my favourite colour. All of the places that you are planning to visit look amazing! I am sure that it will do you both good. We are having a change of scene ourselves, and have come up to visit my sister and will be here for 2 weeks. Hugs, Gilly x
ReplyDeleteKris, the minute I saw that first pic, you took the words right out of my mouth. What a sweetheart of a cottage! I could go there on vacation and never want to come home..What a fun time to look forward to..Happy Wednesday..xx0Judy
ReplyDeleteYour getaway will be wonderful, Kris...fun photos!
ReplyDeletethis cottage is so adorable, I'd never want to leave. Have tons of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet cottage. Your time away will be so relaxing. I am happy for you. Can't wait to see you bathroom. Happy Wednesday. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI bet you can hardly wait! I would definitely LOVE staying there too! It's so you! Love all the big windows and how bright it is.. and water so close! I'm sure you'll have a great time and come back all refreshed. I find that out too.. that going away for a few days really helps our perspective when we get home! xoxoxo Marilyn
ReplyDeleteSwoon worthy AND such a great idea for me...I have been intrigued by Mackinac Island as well; Michigan has a TON of beauty to offer, but that lake, holy cow, it looks like the ocean! Yes, this is definitely a "Kris" (and Anita) cottage!!!!!
ReplyDeletePerfectly charming, Kris. It's definitely a "Kris Cottage". ;-) And what a fabulous location. Have a marvelous time, my friend. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteDouble WOW, how gorgeous is that rental? You deserve this treat, wish I could join you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this, it's so much fun in that area of Michigan. We always drove to Mackinac Island in the summer.
What a truly beautiful home. It has your name written all over it! Enjoy your time there...it looks just dreamy!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely vacation house, I am sure you will love it there!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Ida
I love visiting MI . . . we are fortunate to have places like Lake Geneva and parts of MI to visit so close to home. Are there more than one of the Stray Dog restaurants? I know we've eaten at one a few times up there. PM me the cottage information. We are always looking for fun getaways. We also love going up to Door County. Have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place and it looks like it will be relaxing and fun, too. How fun to visit the Fire station shop. It's so good to treat ourselves and escape the cares of life for a while. Good for you! I look forward to seeing your bathroom in it's new decor. Have a wonderful new week.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Tamara
You planned vacation sounds very relaxing. The images of the little vacation rental are so welcoming. You are sure to have a wonderful time. Safe travels dear friend and enjoy you mini vacay with your sweet man.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time, Kris! The cottage is adorable, and the lake out the back door? WOW! Enjoy!
