Secluded Charm on the Bluff: Sunset Views, Hot Tub & Stunning Lake Scenery!

Welcome to the Cottage on the Bluff!

Nestled on the scenic shores of Lake Michigan, this charming 1970s Chalet-style home offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views—perfect for a relaxing escape. Whether you’re hosting family and friends or sneaking away for a quiet getaway, the Cottage on the Bluff is magical year-round. Lounge on the wrap-around porch, unwind by the fire table, and soak in breathtaking sunsets over the lake. With its blend of comfort and natural beauty, this home is the perfect spot for your next adventure!

Custom-built with cedar finishes inside and out, the Cottage features cathedral ceilings, cherry kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, and hardwood floors throughout, making it both cozy and inviting. The spacious, open layout is perfect for family gatherings, holiday meals, or quiet relaxation.

The Cottage on the Bluff is just a 6-minute drive from both the north and south beaches and downtown, where you’ll find unique boutiques, charming restaurants, and a classic town theater. In winter, experience the quiet beauty of the area, or visit nearby attractions for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Sleeping Arrangements:
The cottage sleeps 6 guests comfortably:
• Master Loft Suite: A king-size bed, private bathroom with a stand-
up shower, and a cozy sitting area with a futon that doubles as an
additional bed. The loft overlooks the living area and offers a
serene view of the lake.
• 2nd Bedroom: A queen-size bed on the main floor.
• Living Room: Features a sleeper sofa for extra guests.

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on the expansive porch while taking in breathtaking lake views. In the colder months, unwind in the hot tub or gather around the fire table for a cozy evening with friends and family.

Winter and Holiday Specialties
The Cottage on the Bluff is the perfect escape for a winter retreat or holiday celebration. Whether you’re cozying up by the fire, enjoying the peaceful winter landscape, or hosting a holiday gathering, this home offers a warm, inviting atmosphere to create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Note:
Due to the home’s remote location, phone service is limited, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable—making it the ideal spot for a true escape from the everyday.

We look forward to welcoming you and helping you create lifelong memories!

P.S. Due to lake erosion, there is no direct access to the shore from the home.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. The vacation home also includes a coffee maker.

Cozy cottage with Picturesque views

We stayed here July 4th weekend and were very happy to have a secluded home base amongst the bustle . I could chill on that deck forever just looking at the views. This is a very cozy space - but perfect for me and my husband and then my parents in the other room . I would not want to stay there with any individuals that would make any noise ( kids). We loved the convenience to South Haven. Some cons : We had no Internet until the day we left - only issue was inability to communicate/ coordinate with other family in South Haven - had to drive down the street to use our phones. Also there is no beach access, so have to be okay with driving a short distance to the beach

Awesome Getaway

Cottage is small but uses the space well and the views are gorgeous. Would stay again. Direct beach access would push this over the top.

Stunning Views! Peaceful Get-Away!

We took our parents to this beautiful cottage on the bluff of Lake Michigan and it was perfect! Cozy cottage with plenty of room. The porch is large and the views priceless! Don’t get this in the city!!! Close to explore both towns of South Haven and Saugatuck. Our long weekend was wonderful! Highly recommend!
