Classic Summer Cottage

Our experience could not have been better at this classic summer home with its views of Lake Michigan, comfortable furnishings, and other amenities. On several of the nights the sound of the waves across the way from the house added to our overall delight with this special place. We lived on the wicker furnished spacious screened in front porch as if it were our family room. My wife and I and our golden retriever could not have enjoyed the leafy tree lined neighborhood in which this house is situated any more than we did.

121 Lakeshore - Hack Allen Cottage

Location is the best feature. The furnishings are a bit dated. It's an old quaint unpretentious beach house. Screened porch awesome! Fenced back yard, new Weber grill a plus. A little pricey for the size, but steps from the beach with a peak at Lake Michigan from the front porch.

Great 4th of July getaway

This quaint cottage was a throwback in time and therefore priced quite reasonably. We loved the semi-private beach access just steps away from the cottage, sunsets, screened front porch, backyard patio, bikes for all 6 of us , and a well stocked kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing it! We had a great time and enjoyed all of it!!
