About this cottage rental
More details: The cottage has one bedroom, one bathroom, a sitting room, and a kitchen. The bedroom has a memory-foam queen mattress, a ceiling fan, a large closet, and windows with blackout curtains. In the sitting room there's a full size futon that is comfortable for guests to sleep, It is a upgraded spring futon mattress,. The cottage has Wifi , but no cable, dish, or live TV, so you'll need to stream entertainment or gaming from your accounts on a small, but big enough, TV. The kitchen too has a ceiling fan, along with a refrigerator-freezer, a two-burner ceramic cooktop, and a microwave, toaster oven, electric kettle, blender, and coffeemaker.
Neither the cottage nor the nearby beach are wheelchair accessible. There are three steps up to the cottage deck, with a railing on one side only, and a small step up
at the front door, into the cottage. Inside, it’s one step up from the entry hall to the kitchen, and also one step up from the entry hall to the bedroom. Both are marked with small “caution” signs. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with well-maintained short one-lane dead-end unpaved roads that invite safe walking. The cottage has a fenced and gated 13’ x 20 ‘kennel run in the back and there are dogs at the neighboring properties. Dogs may not spend the night in the kennel run.
Other things to do and see:The very popular Bunny’s Frozen Custard is a must from June through September and is an easy six-minute walk from the cottage. Kids? They love the swinging bridge and its adjacent park in Croswell, six miles (11 minutes)
west of Lexington (turn west at the downtown stoplight). On your way to Croswell, 3 North Vines Winery and its open-air tasting room is a fun way to spend the afternoon; kids will enjoy it as well. About 12 minutes south, Lakeport State Park offers camping, as well as a separate day-use area 4 minutes away with a public beach, volleyball courts, and picnic areas. On-leash dogs are welcome. On your way back to the cottage, stop at Pepperoni Cow for a pizza-to-go and delicious ice cream from a large selection of flavors. In spring, if you get up early to watch an often-spectacular sunrise over Lake Huron, you'll be greeted by a dawn chorus of songbirds. And maybe in the evening you'll spread a blanket on the grass above the beach, or on the beach itself, to see the full moon rise, seemingly out of the lake. Stargazing is enchanting no matter what the season. Summer brings a bright array of wildflowers into bloom in surprising places. And in autumn, the trees along the bluff above the beach turn amazing colors. We hope you enjoy Lexington and your stay at our cottage!
