About this property

You will love the comfortable, private feel of our family-owned lakefront cottage, which offers modern amenities, tasteful décor, and comfortable cottagy charm. The blue expanse of Lake Michigan is visible from sun-filled rooms, and the private beach on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan is just steps away down our custom boardwalk.

Enjoy long summer days swimming, playing or relaxing in the sun, and walking along the pristine private beach. Not a beach day? Drive or walk down the beach to the charming village of Pentwater, which is just a mile away. Galleries, shopping, restaurants, nightlife, mini golf, and playgrounds will keep you entertained. But don’t forget to come back to the cottage in time to watch the sunset over Lake Michigan from one of the two decks of the cottage. Before bed, head to the beach to look for shooting stars.

We do all we can to make you stay comfortable: from the comfy beds, quality linens and pillows and fluffy towels to the warm, welcoming living spaces and well-stocked kitchen. We invite you to relax, reconnect with your loved ones, and recharge.

Beautiful Beachfront

The view and beach access was wonderful, so private. Not many steps (more walkway) to access beach. The narrow driveway was a little daunting. While overall house was clean and maintained, we were constantly killing ants.

Classic Lake Michigan cottage

This is obviously an older but well loved family cottage that the host has generously offered for VRBO customers to enjoy a bit of time in one of the most beautiful settings on Lake Michigan. The woods surround the cottage and the lake facing front of the cottage offers such a wonderful view of Lake Michigan. The views of the Lake are lovely from the interior of the cottage, the deck, and the lower deck half-way down to the beach, where you can take your morning coffee or your lunch. There is a relatively new boardwalk down to the beach that is very well maintained, and for a large section is a ramp. I appreciated this since I was recovering from a minor injury. We were stunned by the beauty of the sunsets at summers end. There was lovely weather the week we stayed there. Even a major thunderstorm that rolled in off the lake had a beauty of its own. We enjoyed the coziness of being inside. We took advantage of the cribbage board and some of the other games. Our host, Patty was a warm and responsive VRBO owner. And although she was not onsite, I felt as though she treated me like family. Pentwater is ne of my favorite towns in Michigan

Beautiful get-away

This cabin is in an ideal location. It is private and peaceful right on a sandy, lovely beach with clear water. Spacious decks and comfort!. We were fortunate to have perfect weather which does affect the experience. It is close to town with some shops and a couple restaurants-not too touristy. This cabin had everything you would need! That being said, it IS a cabin and is not a luxury hotel. If it is a cabin you are looking for, this is a great one!

Great Stay

This was the perfect cottage for us - no stairs for my 86 year old mother. Lots of peace and quiet and lovely to come home to after a day of sightseeing.

About the host

Hosted by Patty

Our family has been part of the Pentwater beach community since the 1950s. With our beach neighbors we have raised a couple generations of sandy beach babies, celebrated milestones like my own a beach wedding (on the beach in front of the cottage), and shared the loss of some beloved first generation cottage owners. Even though some of our family members live far away, we all make getting back to our Pentwater home every summer a high priority!

Why they chose this property

Our parents bought this cottage in 1980, when we began to outgrow our original cabin located down the beach. With six boys growing up, getting married and having their own kids, our parents were seeking a smaller, quieter place to spend their Pentwater time, where they could visit with the 17 grandkids, but not host them all! When this cottage within our beach community came on the market, they immediately bought it. Extensive remodeling turned it into a comfortable home for them to spend their later years.

What makes this property unique

The custom wood walkway to the beach is very special! It allows for easy access to the private beach and has a deck area midway down, with seating for your morning coffee, evening cocktails, watching the sky transform as the sun sets into Lake Michigan, or star-gazing after dark.
