About this cottage rental
Stunning views of Lake Michigan, pristine private beach, relaxing days with family and friends, sunsets over the clear water of Lake Michigan, nights on the beach under the stars by a bonfire -- all you could hope for in a family vacation. Reconnect, refresh, relax and create lasting memories.
Our family-owned lakefront home offers cottagy charm with modern amenities. Whether you are enjoying time together around the dining table, playing a board game or watching a movie in the den, reading on the deck, or catching a nap in one of the four bedrooms, this house has the space you need for your whole family.
There's nothing like the beaches of Pentwater, with pure, clean white sand perfect for spending the days beach-bumming, building sandcastles or taking a walk. And there's nothing more refreshing than a swim in Lake Michigan on those warm summer days. Who doesn't love playing in the waves?
And after your fun day, you'll be surprised by how well you sleep!
Located one mile north of Pentwater and twelve miles south of Ludington, the Shannon Cottage is convenient to shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, and recreational activities. We (the owners) have loved vacationing in our Pentwater cottage all our lives, and we think you and your family will love it too!

Cute cottage nestled in a wooded lot. Short private walk to Lake Michigan. The beach is beautiful!
The cottage deck provides a great view of the lake. Communication with the owner was impeccable.
The cottage had everything we needed for a great vacation. Thank you!

We spent the week with our two daughters and two labradors with an array of family members who spent a night here and there with us following the Memorial Day holiday. Michigan weather is a gamble in late May/early June but we spent 7 days in near 80 degrees, full sunshine and calm waters (a rarity). It was a spectacular week.
We walked into Pentwater on the beach, enjoyed the beach in front of the cottage and even swam. We really enjoyed reading about the history of the association this cottage is in (a book on the table) and the families that built these gems on this beautiful stretch of Lake Michigan's coastline.
Everything you could ever imagine needing for a great week at the beach is there for you from towels to toys. We took advantage of the ample beach chairs, beach umbrella, kids life jackets and beach toys. The cottage was spakling clean and as others have mentioned it is much more spacious than the pictures let on. There is a significant slope to the floor but to be expected for a classic cottage that has been built on a sand dune.
This cottage would pose a significant challenge for anyone with mobility challenges (if not be entirely impossible to access and enjoy) just a note there.
We didn’t find any of the rules overwhelming, check in and out was a breeze and all of the neighbors we encountered were lovely and welcoming. The sunsets are spectacular! This is a special place that you just have to experience for yourself. We would absolutely love to return

It is not usually the case that a property looks better in real life than it does in the photos, but this place far exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely perfect for our group and we very much enjoyed staying here. The photos posted on the listing do not do justice to the cottage. It looks much nicer and more spacious in person than it does in the photos. The cottage is old and the floor does slant quite a bit, but the house is clean, very spacious, equipped with everything we needed, and very comfortable. The layout was perfect for our group (which was 6 adults, 2 children, and 2 dogs), because the bedroom areas are in a separate space from the living area so the kids could get up early and not wake up the rest of the people sleeping in the house. The beach is closeby and beautiful. However, the house is on a big hill and there are lots of stairs and sand dunes to climb to get from the beach to the house and to get from the car to the house. I would not recommend this house for babies, older dogs or people with disabilities/mobility issues. The neighbors and other visitors on the lake are very friendly and there are beach chairs and toys for guests to use. The front porch is big and has a beautiful view of the sunset. We ate almost every meal outside together as a family and even enjoyed using the grill. My only complaint is that there are A LOT of rules for the house. The rules are posted on the Vrbo listing, the owner emails the rules ahead of time (and checks in by email once you arrive), there are rules posted in a few spots around the house, there is a book of rules at the house, and the neighbors even reminded us of the rules as soon as we arrived. It was a little overwhelming to feel bombarded by all the rules as soon as we got there. However, the rules are reasonable and not too difficult to comply with once you get your bearings. Overall, we had a really wonderful experience at this property and will definitely visit again in the future. We also loved reading about the history of the area (there is a great book in the living room) and hearing stories of the families that settled in the area from the neighbors. We will remember this trip for a very long time and hope to be back again soon.

This cottage has so much charm. It was clean and comfortable for our little grandchildren (all 8 of them!) and me and my husband. The little ones enjoyed having their own "private" space upstairs, with room to play and lots of beds. The den in the back of the cottage was perfect for games or a movie. I especially liked that it's close to the beach...a few stairs and you're there! The kitchen has everything needed and the provision of all linens and towels, including beach towels was convenient.
It was a wonderfully relaxing week. Thank you, Patty, for renting your special cottage to us.
