Brought my grandson back to the area where I grew up, and this home offered us the perfect location near the water, and easy access to town. The house had all we needed to make our stay the best it could be! Would highly recommend, and hope to get back there one day!
Great location. We easily carried our kayaks down to the waters of Lake White. Lake Michigan and the beach were a beautiful walk away. Loved watching the late evening sun go down across Lake Michigan. Our rental was visited by deer, black squirrels, green heron, red-headed woodpeckers and one bald eagle. Checkout the nearby Channel Inn for dinner.
Our second year here, and we came back for a reason- it's perfect! Great place, great view of the channel and lighthouse, short walk to perfect Lake Mich beach and pier, and every kind of activity you could want in the area. See you next year!
This is our 3rd summer staying at the house. We enjoy the 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, great views and easy on foot access to White Lake and Lake Michigan. The owners are very responsive and professional. There is a herd of deer in the lake area and we really enjoyed watching them wander around the yard and through the woods. It's peaceful and just the right amount of lake activity (boats, fisherman) to make it fun to watch from the deck(s). Very quiet location. Pictures match the house, it's very nicely decorated and comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. The rental was clean and well stocked, and there was plenty of space for six adults. The location was perfect with easy access to the water/beach. The kayaks were a great bonus. We would definitely stay here again.
We visit the Montague area every year and this house was perfect for our stay. We had two families at the house and there was plenty of room for the four adults and three children, plenty of towels for the beach, and a great space for cooking our meals. The location was great for walking up the pier and for getting to our favorite beach
This property was perfect for our family's annual fall break. The house was spacious and very clean, only a short walk from the shore of Lake Michigan. Hosts were very friendly and responsive, and we'd definitely return again!
We completely enjoyed our stay. With access to both White Lake and Lake Michigan, and a house that presents very well and is also well-equipped, we loved it and signed up for next year.

Amazing property
Beautiful home and views. Everything was nice, clean, and new. Would definitely stay again.
We visited again after an amazing stay last year. The house is in excellent condition, has all of the amenities to make your stay comfortable and is perfectly located just a short walk to Lake Michigan. We plan to come again next year!
Traveling to Whitehall/Montague to visit the White River Light Station with my baby grandson whose great great great great grandfather was Captain William Robinson. We could SEE the lighthouse from the balcony of our VRBO. What a view! Very comfortable and fun place for 6 adults, 2 children and 1 infant to stay. Loved the beach close by too. Couldn't have asked for a better place.
Our extended family truly appreciated the proximity to Lake Michigan, the availability of Kayaks, the spaciousness of the cottage, the dumbwaiter for getting things to the top floor, the well supplied bathrooms and kitchen, as well as all the little niceties!
The house is well taken care of with modern amenities. The owner is very responsive, and friendly. Just a 5 minute walk to a wonderful Lake Michigan beach. You can watch boats go in and out of the channel, and see the deer play in the yard, all from the comfort of the balcony. Very quiet and private location. There is also a boat launch a few hundred feet down the road, if you wanted to bring your boat. My family had a wonderful vacation here.
The property is absolutely awesome! The views of the water are amazing! The property owners are amazing to work with and would definitely recommend this property to friends and family to rent! 5 stars for sure! If you want a fun house with beautiful views, this is the place you want!
Great space with amazing views and proximity to beach. Our whole family enjoyed the home, as well as the location. The home was well stocked with everything you need. Lake Michigan was a short walk away and the beach was super clean. Our toddler loved the playing in the sand bar right in front of the house and the shallow water was perfect for her!
First, we've stayed at lots of B&Bs & VRBO locations and this is by far the best. The location is perfect - close to the beach, wonderful view - I really can't say enough.
I also can't say enough about what great host Eric & Roni are. Totally accommodating. If I was a VRBO host I'd want to be just like them.
This is our second summer staying at this house. We love the location, the amenities, and the beautiful views. We really appreciated the new gas grill and the continued availability of the five kayaks and two standup paddle boards. Our weather was great and we were able to be on the water and on the beach almost every day. The pictures online are exactly what you get – very comfortable and the host is extremely responsive and timely. We have already booked our 3rd stay for summer 2025. It’s a great property and we are very fortunate to have found it.
So glad we chose to stay here. The home was great and the view was even better in person. We only had one issue which was with the grills. They were both a bit rusty.
The house was perfect for my family’s Lake Michigan weekend. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. The views from the balconies were stunning. We enjoyed relaxing by the bonfire, kayaking, and cooking meals together in the fully equipped kitchen. Eric and Roni were easy to contact when we had questions about the property. Thank you for a great weekend!

About the host
Hosted by Roni and Eric Cwengros
Hello Guests, we are excited to share our home with you.
Why they chose this property
The search began from South Haven, North up the Lake Michigan shore. We stumbled onto this place and knew before even seeing it in person, this place was the one that we could have a forever family cottage. The home and property checked all the boxes that we were looking for and so much more. The feeling you get when you sit up on the decks and look out over the water is indescribable. We had very little knowledge of the area when we purchased but learned quickly why it was so popular. The area has that sense of community and small town feel. There is plenty to do while you're there, however anytime we get a chance to stay I never want to leave the property! It is so peaceful and secluded!
What makes this property unique
Unique to the other homes near there is the home is tucked into the woods. You have to look hard through the trees in the summer time to see any other home. The 2 decks in front of the home offer spectacular views. The upper level of the home is the main living area which makes sense to have the best views while your awake during the day. The entry first level is where the bedrooms are. It is feet away from White Lake and 1/2 mile to Lake Michigan and the channel. If you stand to the far left you can even see the waves on Lake Michigan. The location is perfect to take advantage of both lakes. In the fall there are so many trees that offer all the colors of autumn. In the Winter the views get even better as the leaves begin to fall from the surrounding area, opening up your sight lines.
