Wonderful family vacation home on the Lake Michigan shore of Pier Cove.

This large and wonderfully decorated 1870 vintage restored farmhouse can sleep 8 adults in 4 bedrooms. Three bedrooms have queen beds, the fourth room has twins. Additionally there is a nursery attached to the largest upstairs bedroom that has a twin bed, full crib and bassinet which will accommodate 1 infant and 1 toddler/child for a maximum of 10 persons. The house is equipped with central air conditioning and a wood burning fireplace. The beautiful large, eat-in kitchen with a granite topped island and stainless steel appliances opens on to a wooden deck for outdoor eating/grilling/cocktails/and sunset watching.
The kitchen has 2 high chairs and 2 booster seats also for the kids. Baby gates also provided as well as toys and books for toddlers.
There is a large second deck on the bluff above the beach with more seating to enjoy the lake views and sunrise and sunsets. This is a lovely spot for your morning coffee or evening beverage.
It is only a few steps to your private beach ( beach chairs provided) Bring your towels and toys for relaxing days in the the water and sand. Perfect !! We provide wood for your nighttime beach fire.

We were in town for a cousin reunion. Used this home to sleep and shower. Great location. Owner is sweet. Told us the home was built in 1870.

Lovely old farmhouse with charm and modern conveniences. Fully stocked for whatever you would need. And even though there was only one shower, the additional enclosed, outdoor shower was a hit with our group! The beach was right across the street, a short walk down the stairs. Lovely sandy beach, but you might need water shoes as the shoreline is a bit rocky. Easy drive to Saugatuck, Holland, and South Haven.

Very nice older farm hose with plenty of space indoors and out. Loved the screened-in porch, back deck and functional kitchen. Entire family loved the private beach and deck overlooking the lake.
Owners are exceptional people who helped enhance our stay.

House is great. Yard is beautiful and walk to beach was very manageable. Celeste and Dexter were great and easy to work with.
