About this property

A storybook setting on a wooded hill, this two story timber house with a walk out ‘kid’s zone’ basement living and sleeping area, is the perfect setting to get away from it all. Walking distance from Bass Lake (an all sport lake) and less than a mile to three Lake Michigan public access parks or beaches make this the ideal location for a family get away (see map). There are four upstairs bedrooms, one first floor bedroom and an open children’s bedroom in the basement level so it will sleep a total of 16 people. There is a full bathroom available on every floor of our home.

The ten foot wide wrap around porch is an ideal place to sit and enjoy the morning coffee or to sit in the breeze and talk with family and friends. This is a very private setting and yet has all the amenities; cable TV, internet, landline phone service, pure reverse osmosis drinking water and full house water filtering system, microwave, new glass top stove, and washer and dryer.

The kids will love the game systems in the ‘kid zone’ living area and the whole family will enjoy evenings in the walkout screen porch on the lower level overlooking the fire pit area. The open concept living room, dining room and kitchen are ideal for entertaining. The classy antique décor of the timber house is delightful. Everything you need to enjoy your stay is available for you. A toaster, microwave, coffee maker, electronic tea pot, dishwasher, all dishes and pans, all linens and towels are available for your use. There is parking for two cars at the house and parking at the bottom of the hill for five more for your toys or cars, with total parking for 6-8 vehicles.

Whether it is walking the wooded trails behind the home, visiting the popular shopping and dining areas of Pentwater (five miles) and Ludington (10 miles), enjoying Silver Lake State Park (17 miles), or just relaxing on the porch on the wooded hilltop, everything for your family dream vacation is within reach.

Comfortable Home near Pentwater

Overall, the stay was great. We had to contact the owner a few times, and he was very responsive to our call. The house can accommodate a large group, but there is plenty of space inside and out so that you are not stepping on each other. Really enjoyed the woodsy setting too. It was great sitting out on the covered porch. Highly recommend.

Wonderful, spacious, well-equipped cabin

This cabin exceeded our expectations! Nice location - close to various spots on Lake Michigan, downtown Pentwater, and Ludington. The cabin was clean, had fast internet, had every kind of dish/pot/utensil you could ever need. Baby friendly with a high chair and step stools. Plenty of blankets, pillows, towels. Beautiful wraparound porch with lots of seating. Even though there are close neighbors, the cabin sits atop a hill and feels secluded. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Relaxing

The house sits quite remotely and you have the feeling that you are alone. Outside fire pit is wonderful. The house inside is a little noisy but that’s expected from an older home. Proximity to Lake Michigan, silver lake and Ludington was a great plus. Loved it!!

About the host

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the location and access to Lake Michigan beaches, Bass Lake, Pentwater and Ludington. And we wanted to have a special place to gather with our three children and eight grandchildren.

What makes this property unique

The porch, with the overhead fans, brings you back to the days when people enjoyed relaxing on their porch with family and friends enjoying the weather and view.
