Hillside Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Absolutely adorable both inside and out, this classic cottage is perched on a hilltop within 1000 feet of Lake Michigan! With partial lake views in the winter and an abundance of dense foliage in the summer, there will be no shortage of breathtaking sites surrounding you regardless of when you choose to visit. Plus, the grassy sideyard, private hot tub, and screened porch are charry on top when it comes to the exterior. Step inside and you will be spoiled by the remodeled interior boasting soaring ceilings, a contemporary full kitchen boasting white subway tile and stainless steel appliances, and modern furnishings throughout! The chef of the group can easily whip up tasty meals after a full day of adventure while the rest of the gang cozies up by the fireplace or streams a favorite movie in the media room complete with a mounted flatscreen TV and plush sofa. Plus, when it is time to hit the hay, one bedroom awaits on the main floor, and a lofted bedroom awaits upstairs to give everyone their own sense of privacy!

Cozy cottage

This is in a good location to drive to a lot of things. Also, the master bed is comfy (the only one we used), and the hot tub is a nice plus. If you like to cook, and you drove to the property, you may want to bring a few of your own favorite kitchen implements. It was still cold enough at night that we were lucky to use the indoor fireplace. We did bring our own firewood. The saddest thing was that the walking beach access was closed for erosion replanting. It doesn't look as though that will reopen any time soon. There are several nice beaches within a 15-20 minute drive. There is enough room to spread out your toiletries if you move the towels around in the master bath, but as another mentioned, there is no dresser, so you will have to live out of your suitcase. We were there for 4 days. It was good for that amount of time in nice weather. Quiet, pleasant neighborhood.

Wonderful Location

This cottage was wonderful for our 4 night stay. The hot tub was so relaxing and the backyard area was very private. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were very nice and the 2 sitting areas made it easy for us to each watch what we wanted. The cottage does need a little TLC as there are a few cracked windows and some rotting wood outside. This listing is a short 5-10 minute walk to the beach and you can hear the calming sound of the waves from the backyard. We will be back again soon.
