Lake Michigan Cottage Retreat – Private Beach Access & Unforgettable Views
Escape to refined lakeside living at our Luxury Lake Michigan Cottage Retreat, where every detail is designed for your perfect vacation. Enjoy sweeping lake views, private beach access, and a home stocked with thoughtful amenities to elevate your stay.
Step into a chef-ready kitchen complete with a full suite of cookware, utensils, and everything you need to create unforgettable meals—indoors or out. Fire up the propane grill on the spacious deck and dine alfresco while the sun sets over the water.
For your beach days, we’ve got you covered with premium beach chairs and towels—all ready for you, so you can pack light and relax more. After a day in the sun, unwind with cable TV or curl up with a book in the cozy living room. And no need to worry about weather interruptions—a whole-home generator ensures your stay remains uninterrupted and comfortable.
This is more than a cottage—it’s your private slice of the Lake Michigan shoreline, fully prepared for effortless relaxation and lasting memories.
THE SETTING
The pristine shores of Lake Michigan. Sunshine, soft sand, warm air, the light droning sound of boats on the water. You enjoyed swimming, boating, bicycling, reading, walking the dog, the amusement park or just relaxing earlier that day. You're sitting on your provided beach chair watching the magnificent sunset with your beverage of choice. You start to smell a smoky aroma, but you cannot tell if it is the grill or a bonfire on top of the bluff; to your delight it is both! After you enjoy some time by the fire, playing board games, or watching a movie you fall into your comfortable bed. You smile as you sleep knowing tomorrow is another lake day.
OUR PROPERTY
Everything you need for the perfect vacation on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Private & newly renovated two bedroom cottage on Lake Michigan in between North Muskegon and Whitehall. The main bedroom has a queen size bed, and the smaller bedroom has bunk beds. The sofa in the living room converts to a full size bed.
Cottage is fully furnished, with all the ammenities you will ever need to cook a meal, make your morning coffee, grill out, sleep well (linens), and enjoy the beach (towels and beach chairs)! Board games, Cable TV, and books are provided as well.
For those hot summer days we have central Air Conditioning! Make sure your vacation goes off without a hitch, we have a generator incase a thunder storm knocks out the power!
THE AREA
We are just minutes away from Whitehall, which offers quaint shopping, an extensive bicycle trail, and many dining choices. We are walking distance to the Red Rooster Tavern, and also just a short distance from Michigan's Adventure amusement park, and Whitehall Lighthouse and Museum, Muskegon State Park and Winter Sports Complex. And of course right on the Lake!
**We offer off-season monthly rates to those interested**
