About this property

Lake Michigan Views for Miles and Hot Tub Open in all Seasons!

We are excited to add another Lake Michigan cottage to our vacation rental portfolio- The Lighthouse. Built to resemble a lighthouse, the octagon shape facing the water provides stunning views from the master suite, living room, and dining room. Watch freighters and sailboats from inside the house, or from the amazing no-barrier deck. 69 steps lead down to your private beach. Prepare food and drinks in the newly remodeled and fully stocked gourmet kitchen designed for entertaining. A separate family room provides space to spread out. Three bedrooms each with private bath sleep up to 8 guests. A private basement bonus room has two futons and ping pong table.

Lake Michigan getaway

This was a wonderful beach house on Lake Michigan. The house was spacious and comfortable with several amenities. The hosts provided everything you could need. The view of the lake was tremendous. We enjoyed our visit very much and highly recommend this house.

Absolutely incredible!

I can’t say enough good things about this property! The house itself is classy, cozy, and extremely well stocked. They have everything you need! So many beach and bath towels, beach toys, chairs, toiletries, etc. And then the beach and the views were just breathtaking. You have plenty of private beach to enjoy, and the sunsets are incredible. Highly recommend this place!

Great place for a family gathering

The house is very spacious, with lots of beds. Kitchen is well-stocked (we cooked Thanksgiving dinner there), and the lake view is amazing. The weather was chilly, but we still enjoyed walks on the beach! Also had fun playing ping pong and using the hot tub.

Second trip

We liked the Lighthouse so much the first time we made a return trip. It’s a great location and a great, walkable beach. Nearby town, Hart, offers a quality grocery store, good restaurants (Big Hart) and a good bakery for donuts. Owners are responsive to questions and great to work with.

Gorgeous sunsets

This location checked all the boxes! The layout was perfect for our family. We loved the location. Spent some time out in Silver Lake Sand Dunes and shopping in Pentwater. Plenty of parking for everyone too! We saw bald eagles flying around everyday. So beautiful. The sunsets were amazing. We would definitely love to return someday.

Best holiday inn!

Our “pod/bubble” spent Christmas at the lighthouse during the pandemic. We packed enough food for four days with a plan of never leaving to purchase anything. Not only did it work, it far exceeded our expectations. The size, supplies, layout, beauty, and accommodations allowed us to celebrate the holidays for full 4 days! Even though it was 20 degrees out, we enjoyed the hot tub, hiked down the stairs for a quick trip to the lake front, and even flew a kite! The view is spectacular. We lit fires in BOTH indoor fireplaces, played Monopoly, Mexican Train, read, napped, watched movies, and made amazing meals (and gingerbread houses) in the gourmet kitchen. Carol was wonderful to work with and a great communicator. Can’t wait to go back - so grateful for the cherished memories.

Couldn’t ask for more.

Our family stayed the week of June 19th. The pictures do not do it justice. This place is loaded with anything and everything you could think of. From baggies to coffee to bug spray. My family loved our time the sunsets every night were amazing then when it was dark we enjoyed the fire pit out front. We did bring our own firewood but there was some already there. The only complaint I would have which is no fault of the owners but the water was freezing cold. We measured it at 55° so didn’t really get to enjoy beach life as much as we had hoped as well as the steps are a work out! Plan on getting in shape if your going to the beach daily. Lol. All around we would highly suggest for anyone just maybe if you want warm water wait until late July/august. Thank you to the owners absolutely beautiful, private, and perfect home.

Fantastic Trip

This is one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. Very clean and cozy and has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. Location on Lake MI is amazing. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for a few miles both directions . Sunsets were amazing. Owners were very responsive and helpful when we had questions. Looking forward to coming back for another vacation on the future!

Lake Michigan Perfection

A truly beautiful home. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Carol, was so kind & a pleasure to work with to make my fiancé's Birthday come to life. The View.... is.... INCREDIBLE. Everything is clean. The hot tub is hard to leave. We had an age range of 6-76 & everyone LOVED this cottage. Very private, yet minutes from civilization. Golf at Golden Sands was beautiful & our trips to Craig Cruizer's for Mini golf/Go Karts/ Zip Line/ etc were so much fun.. Then back to that view & that hot tub within 10 minutes. The beds are very comfortable & clean. Bill & Carol know how to make a Vrbo home &bboy have they done it. Thank you from all of us. Family memories were made & we cannot wait to return to this pure Michigan Gem. Could not recommend the house, or the hosts more highly. Book this one immediately!
