Pair-A-Dice is a quaint cottage in Grand Haven, Michigan. Built in 1906, it is located in historic Highland Park. Highland Park is registered with the State of Michigan as an historic landmark. This turn of the century cottage community has attracted visitors for over 100 years. About 95 cottages are tucked in the sandunes with a system of boardwalks and walkways built throughout the dunes.
Pair-a-Dice overlooks Lake Michigan, and the back overlooks the wooded ravine. Pair-a-Dice has spectacular views! You can see the Grand Haven Pier's catwalk all lit up at night too!
A screened in front porch with an attached deck are ideal for reading, sunset watching, and watching storms come in over Lake Michigan.
There is a small back porch for storage, ie: coolers, beach bags etc. (we have beach chairs and sand toys)
There are 4 bedrooms, one full bath, and one area upstairs w/ sink and privacy door. (This helps shuffle people through the shower to upstairs for final dressing and grooming.) Three bedrooms have full beds and one bedroom has a set of twin beds. Sleeps 8 comfortably. Bring your own sheets, towels and beach towels. Two bedrooms have lake views.
Pair-a-Dice retains much of its charm. Many items in the cottage are original including the turn-of-the century wicker chairs. We collect vintage chenille bedspreads that are the perfect weight for a summer night.
In the Spring and Fall we provide electric blankets and there is a wall heater that keeps the downstairs cozy. The bathroom can be chilly depending on the weather so we provide a little space heater. This is not a home but a cottage that gets shuttered up for the winter at the end of October.
Click on the link "More cottage Photos" for a virtual tour and click on the calendar to see availability. Also check out the link of the live web cam; the view you see, is just 8 cottages North of where Pair-a-Dice is located.
September is the locals favorite time to be at the Lake. Often the water is still warm, the surf is up for body surfing and boogie boarding, and the crowds are gone! Thanks for looking.
