NEW LISTING!! Charming Studio Cottage + Enjoy Harbor Country + Near Cherry Beach

Welcome to the Youngren Road Cottage, a charming studio vacation rental in Chikaming Township in the heart of Southwest Michigan's Harbor Country. Less than a mile from Cherry Beach on Lake Michigan, this cozy cottage offers couples and small families an inviting alternative to a hotel — with all the comforts of home and the shoreline just minutes away.

Step inside to find a clean, contemporary space with a relaxed coastal feel. Soft whites, warm grays, and natural textures create an atmosphere that's both sophisticated and easy. A comfortable queen bed and convertible sofa provide flexible sleeping arrangements, while the kitchenette — with stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher — makes it simple to prepare meals on your own schedule. On-site laundry and Wi-Fi round out the essentials.

Outside, a private patio with a charcoal grill sets the stage for a summer cookout, and the property backs up to expansive woods with room to wander. Less than a five-minute walk away, the paved walking and biking path along Red Arrow Highway connects you north to Bridgman and south into New Buffalo — a scenic route to coffee shops, craft breweries, and local restaurants without ever starting the car.

The cottage is perfectly positioned to explore everything Harbor Country has to offer: Warren Dunes State Park for hiking the towering dunes, over twenty wineries and tasting rooms along the local wine trail, the Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, seasonal farmers markets, art galleries, boutique shopping, and live music at the Acorn Theater. The charming towns of New Buffalo, Union Pier, and Sawyer are all a short drive away.

Small in footprint but big on character, this is the kind of getaway that proves you don't need much — just a well-kept cottage, a great location, and Lake Michigan close enough to feel the breeze.

Please Note: An exterior security camera is positioned at the entrance for property safety. It records activity at the entry door only. No other cameras are used anywhere inside or outside the property.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
