Cute Lakefront Cottage on Lake Michigan.

Beautiful 900 square foot cottage with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Panoramic view of Lake Michigan is breathtaking. Clean updated interior. Two bedrooms have double beds and one bedroom has bunk beds. The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably. You will enjoy the spacious living/kitchen/dining area. Flat screen TVs are in the living room and master bedroom. The cottage is in a private association so there is plenty of privacy. It has a newer LP gas furnace for cool nights if needed. There is usually a nice cool breeze off of Lake Michigan for your comfort. But large fans are provided in each bedroom if needed. Two kayaks are provided.
The cottage is on a small bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.There is access to the Lake down a flight of stairs (about 35 steps). However, due to high Lake water levels again this year, entering the water from them should not be attempted at this time. Due to slippery rocks and the unpredictability of Lake Michigan currents, YOU ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK AND CHILDREN WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION IS PROHIBITED. There are several places to swim and kayak close by. The kitchen is clean, convenient and has all of the utensils, plates, pots, and cookware you will need for your comfort. Bedding and towels are provided as well. There is parking for two vehicles (three, if you squeeze tightly). The cottage is located just 5 minutes from recreational Silver Lake and 15 minutes from quaint Pentwater Village. A great family vacation place.

The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Second stay

This was one second year at this adorable cottage. We loved it once again! The stairs to the lake were improved from last year. (Still no lake access, but we could get closer to watch the waves and sunset.) We are comfortable with the simplicity of handwashing dishes, and enjoyed unplugging from a hectic schedule with no wifi and basically no phone connection. All in all, a great place for a wonderful vacation!

Beautiful sunsets and view

The cottage is quaint, clean and well stocked with all the necessities. The sunset views and backyard are amazing. Due to high waters, Lake Michigan was not accessible, but that was ok with us. No internet or cable tv. Sprint cell phone coverage was very intermittent and spotty. Downside of the property was the inability for us to park our atv trailer at the property, do not recommend bringing a trailer as it is nearly impossible to turn around on the small road. We found a spot to park our trailer elsewhere near town, and that worked best for us. Check in was very easy and the owners were very kind and welcoming.

Not bad

First no internet connection and the phone signal is terrible. No laundry to wash your gear. Dishwasher not working properly. The mattress in the master bedroom is not comfortable at all. The grill is filthy. The sink water is smell bad. Other than that is good location.

Hidden Gem

The view is beautiful from the cottage and we enjoyed the area with all the local things to do. I think Silver Lake and the dunes is a hidden gem.

Excellent family vacation

This little cottage was such a delightful place to stay! Comfortable beds, clean and beautiful decor (my boys loved looking and talking about the bear and antlers on the wall!), nicely stocked kitchen items, excellent view, and even s’more fixings complete with firewood and fire starter kit provided! We felt so invited and refreshed! Neighbors were nice, too! Nearby beaches were easily accessed and not too crowded. Overall, a great place to stay for some R&R at the Lake! Thanks for the memorable visit!

Perfect weekend getway

We had a nice little week-end getaway with my husband and 4 year old daughter. The place was perfect and the cabin is very clean with everything you need. One thing is that there is no phone, internet reception at the cabin, but if that doesn't bother you, this is the perfect place to relax and spend time with your family.

Weekend getaway.

This was a nice secluded spot. We came up for a Raptor event at Silver Lake, which was just a few minute drive away yet just far enough away to be peaceful. Opening the windows at night to hear the waves crashing on the beach was so relaxing. We would stay here again. The hosts were very nice. We loved the thoughtful touches. Roar!

Fantastic view with a tranquil atmosphere

We stayed here as a last minute trip due to construction at our hunting camp. We enjoyed being so close to Lake Michigan, the supplied firewood, and the fantastic location. Accommodations were everything we needed and the ability to be unplugged was great. Very nice touch with the s’mores. As adults we enjoyed them!

Cute cottage

We enjoyed our stay and the views and sunsets on Lake Michigan. It was a cozy, cute cottage. The only negative was that we didn’t realize that the tv’s were only to watch DVD’s. There was also a grill but it was not listed in the amenities. We enjoyed walking to the Silver Lake State Park area and watching the off road vehicles on the sand dunes.

Cottage on Lake Michigan

The property is very nice. We loved the knotty pine through out the house and the view is incredible. There is no WiFi or phone service at all which I didn’t realize when booking. It was fine as we were doing other things in town most of the time but it would of been nice to be able to google things to do in the area, weather ect. The only big downfall was the fruit flies. They were awful. We only ate one time at the house and that was food we brought from town, no way could we cook with the amount of them. The owners were trying to get them under control with little traps everywhere but they weren’t working. Other than that the place was very clean and a nice place to relax and enjoy the views.
