About this property

Spectacular Sunset Lake House w/Dock And Enchanting Views

Welcome to the MOST enchanting and picturesque vacation destination on the Gold Coast.

We offer accommodations from Saturday to Saturday. Our year-round, three-bedroom/three full bath home includes two queen beds and two twin beds upstairs plus a queen sofa sleeper on the main level. Linens are included for all beds as are bathroom towels. (Guests who prefer may bring their own towels and linens.) Docks w/electric and water are available for a small additional fee.

Spectrum cable TV and WiFi pair with excellent cell reception. Throughout, ceiling fans augment the cool lake breezes. The Master Bedroom and the two guest bedrooms also have A/C window units (though they are rarely necessary.)

In early spring or later in the fall, a whole-house radiant heating system keeps all rooms toasty.

The master bedroom is a true gem. A wall of windows overlooks the shimmering lake and a Jacuzzi tub allows for a relaxing bath while gazing at the scenery. The master also has a massive walk-in closet with its own lake-view window and it's own window A/C.

The main floor features an inviting living/family room with game table and games; formal dining room; nicely stocked library/office; and a casual dining area. Chefs will appreciate the updated, fully equipped kitchen with induction range, new top-of-the-line fridge, microwave, double oven and dishwasher; pots, pans, dishes, glassware and everything needed for cooking. Many condiments and basics are also stocked.

A beautifully landscaped yard overlooks our two docks and swim area on picturesque Pentwater Lake. Relax watching the sailboats glide by from the docks, the deck or master bedroom, living room, kitchen, breakfast room or library – all with views overlooking the scenic lake. The deck has two tables and seating areas with a large propane grill. In front is parking for three vehicles in the driveway.

A refreshing swim or a fun day of fishing off the dock is just steps away.

Nearby, there is so much to enjoy! For beach lovers, the sugar sand expanse of Charles Mears beach on Lake Michigan is in town. A short stroll from the lake house is the local market and a seasonal stand selling fresh sweet corn on the honor system.

Of course, in the quaint village of Pentwater all the shops, restaurants and ice cream parlors are right around the corner. Near three picturesque marinas is the Village Green where there is a weekly band concert as well as a twice-weekly Farmer’s Market and multiple craft fairs throughout the summer.

In short, our Lake House is the ideal getaway for those wishing to relax, recharge and enjoy the magic of Pentwater in an exquisite setting.

For anyone looking for a Spring Break or multi-family “party house” this is definitely not the destination. No large groups or loud parties allowed. We limit occupancy to eight people to maintain the magic, serenity and ambiance. We have great friends and neighbors who help with the property and will be eager to assist and welcome guests. Children and well-behaved pets (friendly/minimal barking) are welcome.

Rents Saturday to Saturday by the week. Weekly rate is $3,300.00. Also needed is a separate $750.00 refundable damage deposit. There is an additional fee of $250.00 for the use of the docks.

Beautiful and peaceful lake cabin
This property was everything described and made for a perfectly peaceful and enjoyable vacation. We enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable here. It was so nice to be right on the water and also super close to town.

Clean, well stocked and exactly what we expected from the description.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable, there was space for the six of us, and the kitchen was more than well stocked. We had a minor issue and contacted Peter. He replied within the hour and everything went well. We are already thinking about coming back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Rexford

Host profile image
Our spectacular lake house is our home for most of the year. We make it available in the summer for a few weeks to those who cherish it as much as we do. We have been coming to Pentwater since the 1960s and can't wait to get back every year. Our other home is in the Midwest where temps and humidity can be daunting.

Why they chose this property

Our Lake Home is fully furnished with three bedrooms upstairs and a fold-out couch downstairs. We have two full baths upstairs and one downstairs. We're also one of the VERY few homes with a basement. That's where the washer/dryer is.

Outside we have a large two level deck with two tables, chairs and a gas grill. The yard is meticulously landscaped leading to the old boathouse and our two docks. (Available to guests for an additional fee of $250 per week.)

It's a short ten minute walk into town past a stand with fresh corn daily, three marinas and countless shops and ice cream parlors.

What makes this property unique

We supply all linens and bath towels for guests. (Those wishing to bring their own are certainly welcome to do so.) We have two queen beds, two twin beds and a queen pull-out sofa. A fully stocked library is in our office. We have Spectrum cable and wi-fi for guests.
