I have known Brian and Jeremy both for years. The Team at Cottage Home is definitely a first class organization. The quality of product that they have consistently produced for years on the lakeshore is top-notch. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build or remodel on the lakeshore of Michigan.

Cottage home made the building process fun and easy. The staff was always friendly and eager to work with us. We were able to make the selections for the entire house in less than four hours. Even though our house is complete, they continually check in on us to see if we need any help. I recommend them without a single reservation!

It was truly a pleasure working with the folks at Cottage Home. The company was able to incorporate
several requested design changes into our finished three bedroom, two and one-half bath
cottage ending with the " right fit". Before proceeding, they always gave us alternative paths and costs for meeting our goals. Prior to construction, Cottage Home was extremely helpful in providing suggestions for floor, wall, and window treatments (color, texture, and patterns). After construction, we asked them to give us suggestions for furnishings, which they gladly provided.

I had the pleasure of working with Cottage Home in 2010-11, when Brian Bosgraaf agreed to take a look at a project I designed for a client of mine. Even though the home did not go through Cottage Home's usual in-house design process, they embraced our project without hesitation, made an offer the owner couldn't refuse, and the rest is history! I can't say enough about how professional their entire operation was, from pricing, to construction, to followup after completion. Brian, Jeremy, Vicki, and Stephanie included me in the entire process, and I was made to feel like I was a respected part of their team; I never felt left out of critical discussions or decisions. Their suggestions to the design were great improvements and definitely contributed to its success. Both my clients and I were amazed at how thorough their process was, not leaving any detail to wonder about, with top-notch workmanship. If that isn't enough, the project was completed at exactly the time they promised before construction began! I look forward to working with them again...

Cottage Home designed and built our home on Lake Michigan in 2012. We continue to be highly pleased with the quality of the construction and the durability of the materials they used. Most importantly, this firm stays in touch, looks for ways to help with preventative maintenance, and employs a highly customer centric team. Tremendous communications, follow through, and customer responsiveness. We highly recommend Cottage Home and will use them when we build another home in the future.

Our experience with Cottage Home was everything we hoped for ... and more. As their name says, they are focused on creating a home and not just building a house. Working with them, you become part of their family. They take personal care in everything they do - as though they are creating something for themselves. Issues that arise are dealt with transparently and professionally. No detail is too small. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Our family enjoys every minute we're there - the design perfectly fits the neighborhood. The home is high quality, comfortable, and practical. We constantly have people commenting on its beauty. We feel fortunate to have chosen the team at Cottage Home with whom to work.

We can't imagine a better home building experience than we received from Cottage Home. From the initial design of our home through all the details involved with finishing and even furnishing our lake house, the Cottage Home team made the entire experience almost seamless. They took our vague ideas and notions and created features that exceeded our expectations. The overall work quality and follow up on the very few punch list items was excellent.
Cottage home nailed the completion date they gave us at the time we agreed to have them build our home and they hit the due date on budget. When we noticed an oversight - we should have included a bath tub in one of the completed guest bedrooms - Cottage Home was kind enough to handle the modification with only a nominal charge.
Our builder also improvised along the way. They used large boulders from another construction site to add to the landscape design around our pool and found larger trees for our yard than we had contracted for through a local nursery. Both were beautiful enhancements to our lawn.
Three summers later, Cottage Home still views us as a customer that they want in their family. We continue to seek their advice and help, and they invite us to events they host for their customers. The great experience continues!

We contracted Cottage Home to build our new lake home in 2009. This was the first time we had gone through a new construction project. After several meetings with the builder, providing our own ideas on what we hoped for in our home, he then added his design thoughts. The resulting plan was everything we could have imagined. We agreed on a set price, standards, and completion date. The project went as promised, with no deviation from our original agreement on price or standards, and it was completed exactly on time. Compared to other negative experiences we have heard about from friends about other builders, we felt extremely fortunate to have contracted Cottage Home for our project. They have an incredibly stable group of regular subcontractors, who were most professional, highly skilled and competent in their specialties. Icing on the cake, is the fact that this builder "stays with you" long after the project. For any subsequent needs, or repairs, they are immediately available to support our requests. The whole process continues to be one professional story, even after the successful completion of our retirement home on Lake Michigan.
