Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1980
My husband and I purchased the cottage from his family and two years ago totally remodeled the inside of this vintage cottage, making it look more beachy/European. We live next door to the cottage and love to see people enjoy the comfort and beach living that our area has to offer.
Why the Owner Chose Stevensville
This land has been in the family since 1919, it is a very special and secluded treasure boosting one of the best beaches that Michigan has to offer. And it is surrounded by the Grande Mere State Park, so one can plan on seeing lots of deer, wild turkeys, and many different types of birds.
The Unique Benefits of this Lake Front Cottage
The sunsets are priceless! And best of all they set right in front of the cottage. Sitting on the screened porch, laying in the master bed - all while looking at the lake and beach is as good as it gets. Also, having no one on the beach - peace and quiet.
