About this property

Beachfront Cottage On Lake Michigan! Great Views, Private Setting, Relaxing Days

Experience Lake Michigan the way it used to be! Lovingly restored 1930s beachfront cottage, located in a quiet residential area. The cottage sits on a wooded double lot nestled on a dune facing Lake Michigan. There is a private stairway leading to nearly 200 feet of private beach*.

*NOTE: After the high water levels, our beach is coming back and, we have re-built stair access to the beach from the cottage. The views from the cottage are fantastic as well as the sunsets.

Just 6 miles south of Grand Haven but a world away. Wake up to the sound of birds and sip coffee while watching boats sail by, enjoy sunset dining in the comfort of the screened in porch or on the outside patio deck, then fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

The Cottage offers free Wi-Fi, a newly renovated kitchen with a grind and brew coffee maker, stove, microwave, refrigerator, and pantry area.

Dining area features banquette seating. A charming antique walnut table is perfect for family meals or a game of Scrabble.

Sleeps 4 comfortably. There is 1 bedroom with a double bed and a sofa in the living room that converts to a queen-size bed. A pack-and-play is available upon request.

The cabin includes a bathroom with a shower stall. There is also an outdoor shower, with tempered water, adjacent to the outside deck, ideal for rinsing off before entering the cottage.

Gas BBQ grill on the outside deck allows for grilling. Savor the great Lake view and one-of-a-kind sunsets as you dine at the picnic table.

Escape from the hustle-bustle of everyday life. Disconnect from technology and reconnect with your family, friends, or yourself. Take long walks on the beach, enjoy the water, build sand castles, bring bikes to ride along the trails. On rainy days, watch the storm blow across the lake, be amazed by the lightning show or take the opportunity to play board games, read or explore nearby Grand Haven. At night, appreciate the thousands of stars in the sky or take advantage of the community's fire pits (not currently active). Please note there are a set of stairs from the parking area to the entrance of the cottage.

For other recreation, Kirk Park is 1/2 mile away with nice hikes and Pigeon Lake is a few miles south for putting in boats and/or kayaks. These are easily accessed via the bike trails that run directly in front of the entrance to our neighborhood.

We believe you'll fall in love with the place and look forward to it being your getaway place at Lake Michigan.

The view!
We booked a weekend at the Miller's cottage to celebrate our anniversary. The cottage was perfect for two. The bed was comfy, and the kitchen was amply stocked. We had everything we could possibly need from towels to beach chairs to wine glasses to...well, everything! The view was glorious! We were close to Grand Haven and Holland for day trips. Kirk Park nearby would be a fantastic spot for a beach day (in warmer weather!) A note for those who visit in the fall -- it was chilly. We came prepared with layers and the space heater helped a lot (and the comforter on the bed was amazing, never cold while sleeping!) Just be aware that the cabin isn't heated and come ready with your fuzzy slippers! The stairs leading to the cottage and to the beach are steep, but easy to navigate. Again, just be ready to carry suitcases down a set of stairs and pack accordingly. If you plan to share the space, be aware the bedroom opens into the living room without a door. Not a problem for us, since we were alone, but something to consider when traveling with a group. If you're looking for a cozy getaway for two, and you want peace, quiet, and a gorgeous view, the Miller's cottage is perfect!

A peaceful, tranquil slice of the beach. After a very busy few weeks, this was exactly what my wife and I needed to recharge. L

Lovely Stay
The cabin was very clean, cute, and looks way better in person. The pictures don’t do it justice. The beach down the stairs was isolate and beautiful. I could live on that beach. The Weber grill and solo stove fire pit were impressive. The sunset in September was gorgeous. Would come back here again!

Wonderful location, very retro. Great views! No tv. Furniture needs a little upgrading, but very comfy cozy like a cottage should b. We will definitely stay again.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was purchased by my grandfather upon his return from WWII in the 1940's. It is still in our family and several generations have enjoyed making memories here.

We treat it gently and with love, and ask you to do the same.
