We grew up in this area, spending summers on Pere Marquette Beach, building childhood and teen memories along the shore. Now, with our own family, we cherish the sunsets, sandy beaches, and peaceful dunes. We love sharing Cottage Sankofa so guests can make their own lasting memories at this special beach retreat.
Why they chose this property
Discover Pere Marquette Park – A Unique Lakeside Neighborhood
We love Pere Marquette Park for its incredible location, surrounded on three sides by Lake Michigan, the Muskegon Channel, and Muskegon Lake. The neighborhood feels like a scenic peninsula, offering stunning water views from nearly every direction. Walk along the sandy shoreline, explore the wooded dunes behind the cottages, or simply relax on your porch and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature meeting the lake.
One of our favorite local spots is the famous The Deck, just a short walk from the cottage. With daily live music, drinks, and casual bites, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the local vibe while taking in panoramic lake views. For outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers windsurfing, kiteboarding, paddleboarding, and boating, along with bike paths and walking trails that wind through the park and along the water.
Pere Marquette Park is also rich in history and local charm. Explore the lighthouse and pier, or visit the USS Silversides Submarine Museum just a short drive away. Whether you’re seeking adventure, a family-friendly outing, or a relaxing day by the beach, the neighborhood has it all.
What we love most is the unique combination of water, beach, and dunes. From sunrises over the lake to vibrant sunsets, the views here are unforgettable. It’s a place where you can unplug, unwind, and connect with nature, yet still enjoy local attractions, restaurants, and entertainment within walking distance or a short drive.
Pere Marquette Park truly offers a one-of-a-kind lakeside experience: beachfront access, water on three sides, local culture, and outdoor fun, all wrapped in a scenic, welcoming setting. Every visit feels like a special getaway, and we know guests will treasure the memories they make here as much as we do.
