Cozy Lake Michigan Cottage Winter Retreat

Perfect winter time escape! For a perfect winter vacation, Curl up with a book or movie while enjoying the lake view, go to the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex for ice skating, cross country skiing, sledding hills, luging and hockey. Find Secret Lake on a winter walk through the wood at Muskegon State Park. Prepare a meal or bake with our well equipped kitchen, don't forget the hot coco!

THE SETTING
The pristine shores of Lake Michigan. Sunshine, soft sand, warm air, the light droning sound of boats on the water. You enjoyed swimming, boating, bicycling, reading, walking the dog, the amusement park or just relaxing earlier that day. You're sitting on your provided beach chair watching the magnificent sunset with your beverage of choice. You start to smell a smoky aroma, but you cannot tell if it is the grill or a bonfire on top of the bluff; to your delight it is both! After you enjoy some time by the fire, playing board games, or watching a movie you fall into your comfortable bed. You smile as you sleep knowing tomorrow is another lake day.

Best stay we have had

Loved the place. Extremely clean and well appointed. Everything worked well and there was ice made in the freezer. Something other places often forget to check. We stay in the often very often to visit our children from out of state and this was our favorite place to stay.

Relaxing lakeside stay

The cottage is so cute, fresh, and well-appointed. I haven't slept this well in a long time! Perfect place for a solo, contemplative retreat, but would be so much fun with a small family in summer. The beach is lovely.

Excellent Cabin on the Lake

This space was exactly as described, and right on Lake Michigan. Everything in the home was clean, in great shape, and comfortable. There's a bit of a drop to the lake, but the stairs that seem to be newly installed are sturdy and easy. Internet speed was good and the outdoor space was wonderful. A bit secluded from the main road, which once you know the driveway, is very nice.

Perfect getaway with all the amenities!

Beautiful location on Lake Michigan. Walk the beach, enjoy a campfire on the beach or backyard, take advantage of a state or county park. Muskegon has great food, Grand Rapids is a wealth of options or drive north or south along the shore to experience towns big and small for more fun.

One Night Stay

The cottage is small, but exactly what you need. A walk down a short flight of stairs and you’re right on the beach of Lake Michigan. Bonfire on the beach at sunset. It was great!

Awesome family with Pet getaway!!

Awesome property sits nicely on the beautiful private sandy beach of Lake Michigan. About 30 steps to the beach and property came with plenty of beach chairs and fire pits. Booking, payment process and access to the property was flawless and enjoyed the stay.

Great location!

It's all about the beach! This house would be ideal for a family with small children. We had four adults and the bunkbeds were not ideal, but since we mostly spent all of our time outside, it wasn't that big of a deal. Really great location, beautiful beach, love that we could have a fire on the beach. Lots of seating. Love it.
