Unwind at a quaint beach cottage like Grandma used to have Located on Lake Michigan just north of Stony Lake and 15 minutes from the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, this old-school cottage with spectacular views over the Lake is tucked away between mature trees in the dunes. A perfect family vacation spot awaits you ... enjoy your own 100+-ft of Lake Michigan frontage, relax on the deck as you watch spectacular sunsets over Lake Michigan, reconnect with loved ones, and enjoy the sound of the waves as you drift off to sleep. About 50 stairs below, you have a huge, private, beautiful, white sandy beach. No rocks to impede your enjoyment of Lake Michigan.Excellent fiber optic internet was installed in 2023. Turn on wifi calling on your cell phone and you have cell service, too. There is no TV set but you can stream on your own devices.If you need polished granite countertops and high-end furnishings, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a reasonably-priced, simple but squeaky clean quaint cottage on the big lake in a gorgeous setting, here we are!Downstairs is a queen bedroom and one bath with a tub/shower combination. Upstairs are two rustic bedrooms separated by a curtain ... not much privacy. Two sets of bunk beds are in one room, and a king bed is in the room overlooking the lake. A fabulous lake breeze blows through the rooms.Five golf courses, horseback riding, the Hart-Montague bike trail, dune buggies and scooter rentals, water sports rentals, mini-golf, bumper cars and boats, grocery stores and casual restaurants are all within about 15 minutes. Pentwater to the north and Whitehall to the south (each about 20 minutes away) offer nicer shopping and dining options.
