This home is a great get away for families and friends! The newly landscaped back yard will give you the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the views.

This lovely beach house house rests atop a small bluff overlooking majestic Lake Michigan on a quiet, residential road. There is even a working organic farm across the street.

We love this house! This is the cleanest rental home we have ever stayed in. The decor is light and tranquil. The windows bring in so much great sunlight and stunning lake views. The house has had a lot of changes and upgrades from our original stay in 2021 and they did a phenomenal job! Beach (sturdy staircase, paddleboards and kayaks), fire pit, hot tub, amazing views from the deck, and a blackstone..it was perfect, We couldn't ask for anything else! The owner is kind and easy to communicate with. We will stay here again and again.

Amazing home with unbeatable views!

My family had a wonderful stay at this property. The hosts were quick to communicate and answer any questions we had. The home has been recently updated and was exceptionally clean. Plenty of room for kids and adults alike. Anything we needed was provided from beach towels to paddle boards to ample seating inside and out the home. Highly recommend and will likely be back sooner than later!

Picture-perfect cottage on the lake with every amenity

Had a fabulous weekend here celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The view of Lake Michigan was breathtaking with an unforgettable sunset each night. Inside, the home was beautifully furnished with a sophisticated, thoughtfully curated interior that felt modern and elegant. As someone who loves to cook, I was elated to find a well-stocked kitchen with sharp knives (a rare and welcome surprise in a rental), plus both a Blackstone and propane grill. The space was generous and comfortable, with room to spread out and relax. The host was kind, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish. We can't wait to come back.

This is a beautiful home on Lake Michigan, bright, clean and plenty of room with wonderful lake views from every window. The beach is spectacular and was enjoyed by everyone.

My family and I have stayed at many VRBO vacation homes and have enjoyed most (one exception). Our 2023 stay was by far one that checked all the boxes. It was CLEAN, roomy, beautifully decorated, and accessible for all 9 of us. The beach and the Blackstone really put this vacation over the top (plus the weather was perfect).

Great hosts, a lovely cottage, a real beach!

The Roosevelt Cottage is just as pictured in the photos: very clean, stylishly decorated, and furnished with new everything. The cooks in the family especially appreciated the just-like-home kitchen, which is very nicely outfitted with almost all the pots, pans, small appliances, and utensils one would need. This was not the typical grab-bag of stuff from Grandma’s attic that is often the case in rental cottages! And, there were labels inside all the kitchen cabinet drawers and doors to tell what items go where—really helpful! In a year where it is hard to find a Michigan rental cottage with a beach, the beach there is expansive enough for most activities. And, for those with bad knees who didn’t want to brave the 80 steps down (and up again), the beach and lake view from the large deck at the house was a real bonus. Lisa, the owner, left gift bags, which we found on arrival. They were filled with flags, sparklers, glow sticks, etc., which really excited the children in the family. This thoughtful gesture made our celebration of the 4th of July, the next day, much more memorable. Thanks, Lisa! The weather didn’t cooperate for a beach day every day. We did enjoy some activities away from the cottage. Lunch in the large, lovely garden behind Pekadill’s in Whitehall (sandwiches, salads) was special. So was the afternoon at the amazing Lewis Adventure Farm and Zoo (in New Era) which has everything from camels, goats, slides, a train, to a carousel. Our children loved it! The only things I would wish for on another stay would be a salad spinner (we ate lots of salads), a door stopper on the front door (so the door handle doesn’t bang into the nearby mirror), and a window covering for the door in the Master Bedroom (hard to change clothes when there was a clear view for people on the deck!) Do bring something to darken windows if you have small ones who are going to bed before it gets dark outside. All in all, we (5 adults and 2 children 3+ and 5+) had a memorable time at the Roosevelt Cottage, with some family members we hadn’t seen in eighteen months because of Covid restrictions. Lisa and Joel are great hosts and have created a special place for visitors lucky enough to spend time at their beach house.
