About this house rental
Quiet time in nature should be part of a wellness routine, like meditation or yoga. If you’re stressed out, you should be able to pull a rip cord and be sitting at a campfire. This is that place. Why settle for cold and impersonal when you can stay here in this warm, inviting home where you have the beauties of Lake Michigan to admire? The home is directly on the Lake. Enjoy the stunning infinity lake views from nearly every window. The deck overlooks a gorgeous sweep of Lake Michigan that is perfect for swimming. Just 22 steps down to the spacious white sugar sand beach! Our cosy year-round home offers spring and summer sun and fun and Fall’s quiet beauty. Winter is a quiet escape for special holiday memories with family, cocoa by the fireplace and sweeping views of majestic waves skinned with ice.
Please note: the home’s stairs were built like attic stairs: they have shallower treads and higher rise than standard steps. This could be challenging for anyone who physically has trouble with stairs. There is one stairway to get up to the main floor (kitchen, decks, living room, family room, guest room) from the driveway entry, and also another stairway up to the master bedroom level (with a full bath and second guest room). There’s a king bedroom and full bath on the main level that is ideal for anyone who wishes to avoid stairs once they’re in the house. It’s also possible to walk up the slope on the side of the house to the deck level and enter the main floor that way (Not recommended in winter due to slippery conditions).
The home has a warm and wonderful appeal. The kitchen has been renovated with slate, custom tile, stainless appliances, dramatic lighting and a convenient breakfast bar. The upstairs full bath has a large tiled shower overlooking the Lake.
The main floor full bath (with tub) is perfect for guests who want to stay on the main floor because it’s right next to the main floor king size guest room.
There’s a lovey & comfortable living room overlooking the lake with a fireplace and flatscreen TV. There’s also a spacious family room off the kitchen with two daybeds set up for lounging or TV watching, and a spacious dining table for 8, a workspace with phone and desk lamp, and a 2nd TV. Satellite WiFi is great for emails and texting. A landline with free long distance ensures you can stay in touch even if your cell phone has a poor signal.
Enjoy the view of the water while you soak in the hot tub and watch the kids play in the sandbox. Have an outdoor fire on the deck at night. Adirondack chairs for 6, outdoor dining table for 8, and 3 cool chairs down on the lake deck mean there are places you can get some alone time, even when you’re at the lake together.
The water has a very gradual slope that's great for kids: no drop off, lots of sand bars. You can wade out a very long way before you're in deep water. We provide life jackets in many sizes.
The deck area is enclosed to provide a secure area for children so you don't have to worry about a small person going to the lake alone. Combination locks on each gate are easy for grown ups, difficult for children.
We have all the beach towels you'll ever need: and we do the laundry after you leave.
You'll love the master bedroom with a view that quite simply takes your breath away and a wonderful Tempur-pedic mattress. Listen to the waves all night long.
The guest room upstairs has two double beds. The guest room downstairs has a kingsize bed. The family room has two twin size day beds. All linens and towels are provided; so you don’t have to stress planning your vacation.
We want you to enjoy what our family has enjoyed and we invite you to come to stay at this wonderful slice of paradise. You'll love your time here and leave refreshed and happy.

This cottage and location do not disappoint! Everything is on site for family fun and enjoyment with board games, toys, stuffed animals, books, life jackets, and easy few steps to beach! Lovely beach house to enjoy for family vacation!
4.8
Somewhat disappointed. The furnishings were very old and felt dirty as did the kitchen floor. There were no lounge chairs on the deck and no cushions to sit on making it hard to enjoy and the beautiful deck and view. The grassy area hadn’t been cut in months and the deck was covered with debris from trees due to a storm. It took 3 days to get jt cleaned up and once they did it was fine. Lastly one of the sliding glass doors wouldn’t lock presenting a security problem at night and when we went out. Our belongings and the owners property were at risk. Definitely not worth what we paid to stay there.

Perfect private beach setting, enjoyed the views from hot tub/deck. Thank you, we had a wonderful time!!
4.8
The location is second to none. It’s a perfect spot and right on the lake. The house is a bit dated, grass was over grown to the point the house looked abandoned, hot tub was dirty, locks didn’t work on bathroom door, and stairs were a nightmare (though that is said in the listing). One small TV. If what you care about is only the outdoors, you can’t beat the deck and location. The owner was in touch about a screen door being broken and other things that were wrong

Our family loved the quiet evenings overlooking Lake Michigan! The home is comfortable and clean with great views. We enjoyed the hot tub and the outdoor fireplace. Great location, close to hiking, mini golf, and the dunes.

We love this property and have stayed several time. Gorgeous as always, comfortable beds, great communication. The days fly by.
4.8
The house has a beautiful view and an easy & sturdy one flight of stairs down to the water. Enjoyed 2 wonderful sunsets while sitting in the hot tub. Although there are of course neighbors on both sides, the house sits a bit in front of them both and had a private and "secluded" feel.
4.8
Our family spent a long weekend here to enjoy the fall colors and the changing of the seasons. The property was perfect for us. The children especially enjoyed combing the beach for washed-up treasures. We had many long walks along the beach and a few excursions out to some of the nearby quaint communities, which are quiet now with the end of the busy season. The property was very clean and the waterfront views incredible. We enjoyed several colorful sunsets over the lake from the deck. Mary is a very responsive and informative host.

Second time here and already booked for Summer 2024. Thanks for sharing your place with us. Can’t beat the view from the primary bedroom or the hot tub and fire pit. Until we meet again.

We had a wonderful time! The house was exactly as listed, very clean and had everything we needed! The area was quiet, but as expected for time of the year. We still enjoyed eating at local spots, some shopping, dunes, golf, beautiful sunsets and freighter spotting! A nice little fall getaway! Mary was very informative and stayed in touch before and during the visit. Beautiful home with amazing views!

Been there twice now and will go back

Love this place! Our 2nd year staying here and it was as spectacular as the 1st. Right on the beach, unobstructed sunsets and cool lakeside breezes! Perfect!
4.8
Well-appointed house and the views off of the deck were so gorgeous. My family had a great time and the sandy area in the backyard was perfect for young kids.

We all had a wonderful time. Mom (85) Hubbie, me and brother (60s) my daughter and her partner (30s) all acted like kids enjoying sun, clouds, rain, electrical storm (that was awesome watching it come across the lake) and the sand and water! Meals together no work talk what could be better. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful property and gorgeous views, we spent most of our time on the deck....Where there is plenty of space and seating. Being in the hot tub for the sunsets and cool evenings was amazing!

Beautiful Beautiful property! Comfortable beds! Great Kitchen! Awesome Hottub! Will be coming back for a third visit I'm sure. :)

First time coming to Michigan, we had a blast. Loved the view and deck area! Weather was perfect. Pics online don’t do justice…
Visited Silver Lake, Muskegon, Grand Haven, Saugatuck, South, Haven, and St Joseph’s.
4.8
Everything was perfectly clean, neat and tidy!
The views are unmatched anywhere else!
Mary was incredible to work with.
Our second visit and will come back again.

This house was absolutely incredible. The proximity to the water, the thoughtful additions (firepit, lake view from the hot tub, bedroom, shower, etc), the tasteful decor/art... This is EXACTLY what we were looking for.
Mary was friendly, fast, & helpful with the few questions we had. Our stay was crazy windy! But the home is so cozy, stocked with books, games, & the most incredible views, it didn't matter. When the wind did relax, our walks on the beach, fire pit/guitar sessions on the deck, hot tub/moon watching, & unreal sunsets were all high points. We wish we could've stayed much longer. We will 100% be returning to this home & I'm already looking forward to it.
Clean, comfortable, well kept outdoor spaces, a wonderful host, & unbeatable views of the lake. What more could you ask for? Thank you!!! WOW. Can't wait to do it all again!
4.8
This was our second stay and we absolutely love everything about the house and the area. Mary is wonderful host! Looking forward to our next stay!
4.8
This was our second time staying here (we loved it so much the first time, had to revisit). One day of our stay was crazy weather - 25 mph sustained wind for 24 hours plus 40-50 mph gusts plus blowing snow - the house is solid and secure, no creaking or shuddering against that lake wind!
The heated floors in the room off the kitchen are super nice, gives the whole room a warmer feel.
The sunsets are amazing here, and we were able to walk on the beach a few times too. We love the area and loved staying here a second time.
4.8
We needed R&R badly, and Lake Michigan always restores us. This property (at least in the off-season) was so quiet and peaceful, except for the wind and waves that put on a new, and sometimes noisy) show everyday. Already planning to stay again!
4.8
We went here for our 10 year anniversary and loved every single day there. The water pressure wasn't that good but it still worked for what we needed. Views and got tub, everything was great.
4.8
Perfect layout for us. Spent so much time outside. The deck, fire pit, the beach, the hot tub…can’t figure out which one we liked best. Good spot for various day trips to Whitehall, Shelby, Silver Lake, Pentwater and Ludington. Breweries and wineries galore.
Our adult kids came for the weekend and they hated leaving us.
Never seen a sunset or stars in the sky like we did while staying here.
Thanks for sharing your place with us.

very nice

This was our second stay here, and it did not disappoint despite less than optimal weather! We had a natural fireworks show one night (lightning) and unbelievable sunsets the other nights. The stars are impossible to describe - we even saw the planet Jupiter! Be aware that there are steps required to get up to the main living area (or walking up a slope outside) and another set to reach the Masters suite. Just an FYI for people traveling with guests who may do better with a rental that is more flat. Highly recommend!
4.8
Everything was perfect here! The house and property is amazing. And the sunsets are as spectacular as anywhere I've ever seen. Mary is the most responsive owner I've ever encountered and I didn't hesitate to book again next year because of it! This property does not disappoint!
4.8
We had a wonderful time. The house is very nice, equipped with just about everything you need! Mary was super quick to answer the couple questions we had. The views here are stunning! Beds were VERY comfortable too, which is hard to find sometimes! Very wonderful family vaca. The stairs were steep but that is part of the listing, and we had no trouble just taking them slow with the kids! Thanks for a great vacation!
4.8
The house is very nice, clean and well appointed. The deck and hot tub overlook the beach, with an easy access down a short flight of stairs and a nice path. My sister's and I were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay immensely!
4.8
Very nice getaway with the beach as your front yard. Felt like we were at the ocean! Property owner was very helpful and quick to respond with answers to my questions. Minimal cell service but wifi worked perfectly. It was kind of nice to partially disconnect. Was very grateful for the Baby gate, pack and play, and toys that were there to accommodate our 1 year old! Overall, had a great stay!
4.8
Amazing getaway for 5 life long friends for over 50 years. Morning coffee and evening cocktails on the deck offered spectacular views and sunsets, and the beach was clean and private....it was the perfect way to decompress from everyday life. Pentwater is about a 25 minute drive with cute shops and restaurants. The local bar/restaurant, "The Stoney Lake Inn" was just 5 minutes down the road and offered a lot of food choices for evenings we didn't feel like cooking. Mary was quick to respond to questions and/or concerns. We had the best week!
4.8
Great location for the best that Michigan has to offer. Wonderful sunsets, wonderful beach, wonderful home.

Awesome beach access and loved being able to put the kids in the hot tub to warm up. Great for our 3-7 year old kids. Loved the whippy dip up the road!
