About this property

Wonderful family cottage with beautiful, huge, white sand Lake Michigan beach

This summer cottage has been in the same family for 50+ years. They have recently made it available for rent so that you may make your own fabulous summer memories on Lake Michigan. It's still used by the family, so it's homey and well-loved; not stark and impersonal. If you are looking for granite countertops and brand new furnishings, this is not the place for you. If you appreciate a quaint, quiet, comfortable, clean place to reconnect with family, friends, and nature, you have found it.

This cozy cottage will remind you of summers spent with grandparents, playing outside and on the beach all day, and board games at night. Two-hundred feet of beautiful, sandy Lake Michigan shoreline is shared with two other cottages. There is always room for everyone to have their own area. Lake Michigan is fickle, and the lake level goes up and down cyclically, but we always have a big beach. Currently is huge!

A large lawn separates the cottage from the path to the beach. There is no view of the lake or beach from the cottage. They are about 80 yards away.

Three bedrooms sleep 8 people: One has a double bed, one has a queen bed, and one has bunk beds and a double bed. The single bathroom has a shower. As there is no washer/dryer at the cabin, we ask that you please bring your own sheets, towels, and beach towels. All necessary silverware, tableware, glassware, and cooking items are provided.

This area is a mecca for sun, sand, and watersports in the summer. Silver Lake and the famous sand dunes are 10 minutes away; Stony Lake is 15 minutes away. Silver Lake offers rentals of dune buggies, kayaks, pontoon boats, waterskiing, tubing, and more. There are several golf courses within 15 minutes; horseback riding within 15 minutes; Lewis Farm and Adventure Park is 20 minutes away.

If you want to enjoy lake Michigan without a crowd this is the place. Great beach for walking and swimming. It's all beautiful sand! We never left the entire week. We brought food to prepare. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. The charcoal grill was excellent.And the sunsets are gorgeous! Location location location! Our family loves it here. It was our second time staying there. We are very grateful for our time spent together in such a beautiful location.
