About this cottage rental

Escape to refined lakeside living at our Luxury Lake Michigan Cottage Retreat, where every detail is designed for your perfect vacation. Enjoy sweeping lake views, private beach access, and a home stocked with thoughtful amenities to elevate your stay.

Step into a chef-ready kitchen complete with a full suite of cookware, utensils, and everything you need to create unforgettable meals—indoors or out. Fire up the propane grill on the spacious deck and dine alfresco while the sun sets over the water.

For your beach days, we’ve got you covered with premium beach chairs and towels—all ready for you, so you can pack light and relax more. After a day in the sun, unwind with cable TV or curl up with a book in the cozy living room. And no need to worry about weather interruptions—a whole-home generator ensures your stay remains uninterrupted and comfortable.

This is more than a cottage—it’s your private slice of the Lake Michigan shoreline, fully prepared for effortless relaxation and lasting memories.

THE SETTING
The pristine shores of Lake Michigan. Sunshine, soft sand, warm air, the light droning sound of boats on the water. You enjoyed swimming, boating, bicycling, reading, walking the dog, the amusement park or just relaxing earlier that day. You're sitting on your provided beach chair watching the magnificent sunset with your beverage of choice. You start to smell a smoky aroma, but you cannot tell if it is the grill or a bonfire on top of the bluff; to your delight it is both! After you enjoy some time by the fire, playing board games, or watching a movie you fall into your comfortable bed. You smile as you sleep knowing tomorrow is another lake day.

OUR PROPERTY

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It had great space for our family and the view was so nice. They had a nice mix of games which we enjoyed playing. We had our dog with us, she has anxiety and can be nervous in new places. But she settled quickly and really loved the large sliding door to watch the squirrels outside. We had a minor toilet issue during our stay, however the hosts were quickly responsive and a plumber was at the cottage within the hour. I was so grateful and impressed, we worried we'd have to end our stay early but it all worked out wonderfully. Walks on the beach were fantastic. They had all the amenities we could need. We would absolutely stay here again, we had a wonder time making lasting memories.

We had a great last minute weekend stay. The small cottage is lovely and as pictured. Very clean and well appointed. Great for the two of us and our dog. Neighbors are very close but we only saw one person the whole time, very quiet. Even with the snow we were able to get down to the beach and walk either way for ages. Beautiful views and sunsets everyday. We’d stay again. FYI for anyone with mobility issues there are 47 steps down the bluff to the beach. They appear to be newer and are spilt into 3 sections with a landing/lookout between each and sturdy handrails. It’s actually one of the shortest and best maintained staircases we’ve encountered at the various lake side houses we’ve rented. Thank you!

The place was very clean and smelled amazing upon entry. The location cannot be beat right on the beach. The host communicated quickly during our stay and was very helpful.
