This is a great place for large groups or small.It was a US Lifesaving Station that we rehabbed 10 years ago. This home is new to the rental market. The house is very private with no one on either side of you and there is a natured filled bayou on one side which is great for bird watching and fishing etc. There is a small craft boat launch very close.
The front yard is very large and flat & can park multiple vehicles and RV's. The house is steps to White Lake and is a shallow cove at first great for kids to play this is all private frontage, the large public white sandy beach of Lake Michigan is a very short walk. The lay-out is very comfortable and offers individual privacy as well as wonderful gathering places. The first floor has a large kitchen (2 ovens ,island range large fridge/freezer,microwave,2 sinks , dishwasher).
This opens to the great room which is steps from the lake and opens to a very large multi-level deck.Great views and breezes. There is a large rec room w/ a foosball table also. The first masterbath is on this floor w/ a large private bath w/ large soaking tub and steam shower and king bed. There is a private outdoor shower as well conveniently located of the side deck.
The second floor has 4 bedrooms around a gathering space that opens to a large private upper deck.There is a second master suite w/ private bath and king bed. This is next to the room we call "the apartment". Kid's love this space , it has a sleeping area, living, dining/game area, kitchenette, and goes up stairs to a great look-out room/office which has beautiful views.
The feel of the house is very lake cottage with white walls ,hardwood floors, bead board,beachy summery furnishings etc. We are next to the channel so the boats go slowly by, very quiet and pretty. The house is in a cove so we are sheltered from wind and we get great sun exposure on the decks.
There is a firepit which is great for bon fires at night by the lake. The lake gets great moonrisings and lake michigan has incredible sunsets.The sun sets very late in summer, so you can make the most out of your day and evening. The towns of Montague and Whitehall are just a few minutes away w/ shopping and dining, canoe, kayak rentals, tackle & bait supplies etc.
A short scenic drive to dune rides at Silver Lake and the cute town of Pentwater. Michigan's Great Adventure is 5 miles away a very fun amusement & water park. Old Channel Golf course is very nice very close & very inexpensive public course. Walk to local restaurant. You are 30 min. to Muskegan airport and 1hr to Grand Rapids airport.
Please call me with any questions I am new to this so might be missing important info ....just let me know. Call or email, whichever you prefer. White Lake is a beautiful spot with so much to offer. Thank you for considering this property for your vacation.
