Seasons by the Lake:
Available all year long, experience all kinds of water activities in the summer, crisp fresh air and colorful leaves in the fall, sledding down the dunes in the winter (which can be breathtaking), wildflowers and delicate new leaves unfolding in the spring, and, of course, the Lake Michigan sunsets which are painted uniquely each evening, no matter which season you are at the cottage. You won't be the same when you go home from this quiet, uncrowded and peaceful place. The cottage is situated in a small community bordered on the south by a state park and actually backs up to undeveloped land on the north. Make this year the beginning of your family vacation tradition at this cottage in the woods.
Life along Lake Michigan-unforgettable experience:
To have an opportunity to actually live amongst those pristine sand dunes along the Lake is beyond comparison with in-town rentals. This is the second year this rental property has been offered, so don't wait too long to make your plans to spend a week or more in the summer or even just a couple of days in the other seasons. Your time here can make a world of difference when you go back home to your everyday life. We are sure you will want to come back year after year to climb those magnificent dunes, roast marshmallows over the fire in the fire pit, play hide and seek in the woods, walk the beach, hike area nature trails, and whatever else you enjoy. Just imagine the memories! Our other cottage in this same neighborhood is Home Away #180307. They are about a 3 minute walk from each other. For larger groups, rent both cottages - together, they sleep 16-20. What fun that would be!!
The hike to the beach!:
This is the 3rd cottage from the dunes and it takes approcimate 6-7 minutes to get through the stunning dune area to the beach. Our guests, from very young children to those in their sixties and some beyond, have had a rich and delightful experience at our cottages. Most of us have to climb, rest, climb, rest, etc. to get to the top of the dunes. The exhilerating effort involved is well worth it once you get to the top, see the magnificent view and then get to go down the other side! However, the dune climb may not be for everybody - keep that in mind as you plan your stay. For those unable to make the climb or use the steps to go through the woods to get to the beach, South Beach is just a few minutes' drive away in town.
