Lake Michigan cottage/due to cancellation/ first week of September available

Charming, quaint Lake Michigan cottage with private beach access. Located in Ganges township on scenic Lakeshore Drive in a lovely wooded setting just 100 yards from Lake Michigan. The resort village of South Haven is 12 miles to the south and Saugatuck/Douglas 7 miles to the north. Available for rent May through October. Please check calendar for minimum nights required.
The cottage is approximately 800 Square feet with a 8x10 deck, perfect for a couple or a small family. There is a large living area with peaked wood plank ceiling ,kitchen, bath and 2 bedrooms that sleep a maximum of 4. All linens except beach towels are furnished. There is a wall furnace and a new 15,000 btu window air conditioner in the LR area. Wi-Fi and cable TV are available.
An easy stroll down a gravel path takes you to the stairs that access another private deck and 85 feet of beachfront. Just to the south of us is West Side County Park and to the north more private beach. Our beach is marked private property though Michigan law does permit "shore walkers." Please note the private beach is shared with the owners ( two old retired folks) and our family. After several years of high water on Lake Michigan the Lake levels are lower and we are again blessed with a great wide beach! We do provide beach chairs and umbrella.

The Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven area has many choices for dining, shopping, boating, golfing, theater and other vacation and cultural activities.

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. A Smart TV comes with cable channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Great cottage in a great location

We enjoyed our week long stay. Cottage had a lot of space for our family of 3 and is a short walk to the beach and playground. Beach was sandy and great for swimming. Great location for seeing the sights around saugatuck and South Haven!

Great Location; Well appointed Cottage

My wife and I stayed for a couple nights in this comfortable family cottage. A great place to stay to visit Saugatuck and South Haven. Orchards, bakeries, and wineries are easily accessed from here. Having a private beach area is a plus. The hosts live close by and are very accommodating.

Mother and daughters weekend

Stayed Memorial Weekend with my daughter's. We loved the cottage! There was plenty of room for the four of us. It was very clean. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped with everything we needed. The cute yellow cottage, trees surrounding it, and the stairs to the beach gave a whimsical feel to the area. Beautiful sandy Beach that you can walk for a long ways. We would definitely come back.

This is a beautiful stay. Just a 1-2 minute walk from the beach. It has very pleasant surrounding forestry, was peaceful and quiet. The home was very clean and had a true cottage vibe to it. Would love to return in the future.

Sunsets and Beachwalks

Lovely beach cottage just a quick walk to the stairs that lead to deck and then more stairs to beach. Awesome lake views and a beautifully walkable beach. A short drive to Saugatuck and Douglas and Fennville for dinner at Salt of the Earth! Wineries, breweries, creamiers, farm stands!
