We Love The Tea House!

We love theTea House!
The feel of this quaint and well appointed cottage reminds me of what Lake Michigan beach life was meant to be.
The rooms are plentiful and have the charm of a simpler time. They get a lovely breeze off Lake Michigan, which is right across the street. You can hear the water at night and if that isn't what the doctor ordered, I don't know what is!
They caring owners have thought of everything you will need to make your summer beach getaway
perfect!

This property has all you need to enjoy a quiet, relaxing Michigan beach vacation. The cottage is charming and very functional. There is plenty of space and the screened in patio is great for card games and enjoying the lake breeze and the sounds of the waves lapping the beach. This property is in a prime location along Lake Shore Drive in Douglas. Plenty of outstanding restaurants and shops close by in Douglas and Saugatuck. We have rented this property for the last 5 summers and we will keep coming back!

I have rented this cottage for the last 5 yrs. and I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It takes you back to the good old days with it's old charm and the feeling of lazy day summers. It's kid friendly with a large back yard to play volleyball,baseball and touch football or washers after you come up from the beach. Then you get the barbecue ready and enjoy a good dinner with the whole family. In the mornings you sit on the screen in porch with your coffee and plan your day. We love going into Saugatuck for ice cream and sit and watch the sunset. The Red Dog restaurant in Douglas is a fun place to get dinner.
