This is the backyard. It doesn’t get any closer. It doesn’t get any better. Take out the kayaks and enjoy a beautiful relaxing evening. The water levels for this day were low so we had a nice beach, but a beach is not guaranteed.

About this cottage rental

🏖️ UPDATE: The Beach Is Back and BIGGER Than Ever! After years of erosion, Lake Michigan has returned — and brought a beach with it! Guests are raving about the expansive sandy shoreline right at the base of our stairs. This is the beach experience you've been dreaming of. Don't wait — summers book fast!

Your Family's Perfect Lake Michigan Escape

Looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views of Lake Michigan? This is it. Nestled along one of Michigan's most beautiful and unspoiled stretches of shoreline, this charming cottage is a true hidden gem — the kind of place families return to year after year and never want to leave.

From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the stress melt away. Fall asleep to the sound of waves right outside your window. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises over the water. Step outside and walk straight down to your own private beach. This is what summer memories are made of.

🌊 The Lake & Beach

Private beach access with stairs leading directly to the beach. With the beach now larger than it's been in years, there's plenty of room to spread out, build sandcastles, splash in the waves, or simply sit and soak it all in. Whether you're an early riser catching the morning light or a night owl watching the stars reflect off the water, Lake Michigan will take your breath away every single time.

So relaxing to be right on the lake! Swimming, kayaking, beach walks, and the sound of the waves lulling you to sleep each night. Two living areas inside plus the large decks outside means plenty of space for everyone to be together or find a spot of their own. Well-stocked and clean.

We absolutely loved our stay at Dawn and Breck’s cottage on Lake Michigan! We all had an excellent time and was able to spend quality time with family and friends!! The night of meteor showers, northern lights, sunset and moon set was a special bonus! Thank you guys for sharing your awesome place!

We found the photos and reviews that have been submitted are accurate. We enjoyed our week, and you can't beat the decks, sunsets, and sandy beach and lake bottom.

There were eight adults. There was plenty of room for all. We spent the days outside on the deck and in the water. In the evenings, we sat around the table and played games. We enjoyed the fun and relaxation.
