The Kelly Cottage on Lake Huron
Escape to the peaceful shores of Lake Huron and experience the simple joy of lake life at Kelly Cottage, a warm, family-friendly waterfront retreat in beautiful St. Ignace, Michigan.
This charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath cottage is not a luxury mansion and that is exactly part of its charm. Kelly Cottage feels like visiting your favorite family lake house: comfortable, welcoming, relaxed, and filled with the kind of atmosphere where memories are made year after year.
Whether you are gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, enjoying quiet mornings by the water, or ending the night around a bonfire under the stars, Kelly Cottage offers the perfect setting to slow down, unwind, and enjoy everything Northern Michigan has to offer.
Relaxed Waterfront Living
The heart of the home is the inviting living room overlooking Lake Huron, where large windows bring in natural light and beautiful water views. Cozy up around the fireplace after a day on the lake, settle into the comfortable sofas with a good movie, play cards or board games, work on a puzzle, or simply enjoy a quiet evening with a glass of wine while listening to the waves roll in.
This is the kind of place where you can truly disconnect from the stress of everyday life and reconnect with the people who matter most.
