About the host

Hosted by Karessa Hullinger

Host profile image
I love to travel and try to implement the things I have learned and appreciated from other stays for our guests. Since I have been a guest at a lot of different places, I understand and strive to make a home feel inviting, clean, and special to stay at. I am happy to have a space that is beautiful, comfortable, and stocked to make everyone's stay exceptional. Having guests that appreciate the extra touches and being so kind is a joy as well!

Why they chose this property

Since I grew up vacationing in Pentwater at the local campgrounds until my family was able to acquire a vacation home in the area, I have seen the growth overtime of the area and know what there is available for different ages to enjoy. This helps me with being able to recommend a variety of beach areas on Lake Michigan for different beach locations. I love the variety of outdoor activities that can be enjoyed, from the fun exploring the cute shops to the special times down at the beach closing the day with a beautiful sunset.

What makes this property unique

We are nestled on a 5 minute scenic drive around Pentwater Lake on a quiet road on a spacious acre with a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy eating or visiting outdoors at. We are located away from the crowd, but quick to where you want to go. We have the cutest, attractive cottage full of comfort, character, and charm. There a close public boat access area as well just a minute down the road that you can easily enjoy too!
