PERFECT SUMMER OR WINTER GETAWAY!!!!
Blue Bird Cottage in Lakeside, Michigan. (Previously called Muddy Paw's Inn)
Located on a very peaceful, wooded lot-- Wake up to see deer in the backyard and the only noise you'll hear is the birds chirping and waves crashing. A charming and relaxing home in Lakeside, MI, only ten minutes to the wonderful shops/dining/entertainment of New Buffalo! A short 5 minute walk down a dirt road to the quiet/private beaches of Lake Michigan. Plenty of trails for hiking/biking within minutes from the property. This area is gorgeous in spring, summer, fall, and winter!
Location from Chicago is only 1 hour and 15 minutes from downtown - an ideal weekend escape to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city!
Construction will begin on the house in spring 2012, ready Memorial day. The house will have a new bathroom and kitchen, with a dishwasher!!
The home is irresistably charming and newly redecorated. All linens are provided, as well as all cooking utensils for great at-home family meals and barbecues! There is also a cozy wood-burning fireplace and an outdoor firepit.
Free Wi-FI, Satellite TV, VCR/DVD, washer/dryer.
The home also has a large private yard(not completely fenced), perfect for children & pets. (It's a super-pet friendly area) As well as there are loads of games/puzzles/satellite TV.
Pets are considered on an individual basis, extra deposit will be required. NO SMOKING. We do not rent to anyone under 25.
We DO Allow DOGS, but no cats. So, if you are averse or allergic this is NOT the home for you.
ALSO-most all of the homes in the area access the beach via 50-60 stairs, as we are located above the dune. If you are elderly or disabled, this home is probably not going to work for you due to the stairs down to the beach (but, the house is all on one level).

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2012
We have owned a home on this lane for over 20 years and love the peaceful nature of the area. We take pride on keeping the integrity of the area as natural as possible while enjoying the amenities of a cottage. And in the summer, we spend most of our time on the private lane owned beach!
Why the Owner Chose Lakeside
We love the location of this house because it backs up to a wooded area that will never be built upon. A little stream runs way back there and the animal and bird viewing can be exciting. And the proximity to the beautiful Lake Michigan beach is an extra added bonus!
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Peaceful surroundings, occassionally seeing deer in the lot across the way, bird watching, being the only one walking on the beach.......It's beautiful! Close to New Buffalo and Three Oaks Michigan. Just sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air!
