Easy going weekend on the lake

This is a large, old lakeside property with amazing views and good vibes. There’s nothing fancy or pretentious about this place but you will instantly know that many people, over many years, have lived and loved here — running and laughing on the large lawn, watching the sunset hand-in-hand/arm-in-arm, sitting by the fire pit and staring into the flames as the sky darkens and the moon rises. Getting to the beach will require care and mobility (we were fairly warned by others’ posts and were prepared for this) — while easy for active and fully mobile people it may be challenging or even impossible for others (most dogs will need to be carried or assisted down). It is a beautiful Michigan beach, nonetheless, just outside the back door. The property manager was wonderful — friendly, helpful, accommodating — and the welcome-dog was a gem. I hope we will be able to return some day.

Here for a wedding

We attended a wedding in Saugatuck and needed a place to stay. We were delighted with the view of the lake, as well as the friendliness of the caretaker, Will. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us, a first out of the many rentals we have used. A charming little cottage!

EXCEPTIONAL!!!

This is the perfect quaint lake cabin to fit the surroundings! The view was spectacular! We had a fire every night in the fire pit. We will be back and I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a convenient place to call home base while visiting the surrounding towns. The owners are very kind and thoughtful and I loved their dog Iris!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Harrington

Why they chose this property

Our Story.... begins every spring with the first of the guests that arrive after a seemingly long and gray winter season. We have always eagerly awaited the arrival of the families; some with children that can not wait to kick off shoes and run down the beach. There are the folks with the children being full grown and will enjoy a day or several - with them and the grandchildren, to enjoy the calming sound of Lake Michigan waves or the comfort of the country air to breathe. Certainly the wonderful friends that have returned year after year.
