Cozy "Flip Flops" Cabin in the woods with Pentwater Lake frontage and access
Welcome to Cozy Cove Cabins, a historic part of Pentwater tradition that was renovated in March/April of 2018. Cozy Cove has been around for decades, and consists of the cottage and 4 old fashioned Bel Air log cabins. Bel Air log cabins are found all over northern Michigan, and are named after the town of Bel Air where they originated.
Cabin 2 is referred to as "Flip Flops," and sleeps 6. The cabin is roughly 400 square feet, with an open floor plan. The main sleeping area sleeps 2 on the double bed, the sofa sleeper has a queen pull out that sleeps 2, and the bunk beds sleeping 2 more. The living room has all new furniture, including a sleeper sofa, chairs, and flat screen smart tv, just in case of rain. The cabin has a bath that has been updated with a new stool and vanity as well as a stand-up shower. The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen with apartment size appliances. The rental also provides access to paddle boats, kayaks, and paddle boards, as available. The cabin sits in a wooded area on the lake, providing waterfront, woods, and access to beaches and the pier.
We are a small, family run operation, and have some limitations due to the fact that we don't have on-site "staff." Our cleaning crew is organized and keeps the cabins up to our standard of clean, which we think you'll be very happy with.
We do have a limited number of boat slips available for an additional $200/week. Please check for availability with your reservation. Slips will be held, upon request, as part of your reservation, and cash payment is due upon arrival.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We only had a few days to visit Pentwater, and this Cozy Cottage was exactly what we needed-a comfortable place to sleep, a kitchen to fix a few meals, peace and quiet along Pentwater Lake, and easy access to all the fun in the town of Pentwater and Lake Michigan. The host was friendly, accessible, and helpful.
What amazing people to be around they know the area like the back of there hand make you feel like your family and right at home I can’t wait to come back!!
Derek and Christin’s flip-flop cabin was the perfect base for our long weekend at the lakes. Equipped with basic necessities and some nice-to-haves like WiFi and a Roku TV, our family never found ourselves wishing we had something extra.Check-in was a breeze, and the check-out guidelines are very reasonable. Our kids are already asking us if we’re staying there again next year. If you’re looking for a simple, cozy place to stay that’s pretty much near everything, this is a great spot.

Wonderful well kept, authentic, northwoods cabin. Close to everything with a peaceful and quiet woodlands atmosphere. Beautiful lake accommodations.
I absolutely LOVE Christin!! She was so friendly when arriving and made us feel so welcomed. She offered to clean out the wet pedal boat (wet from the rain) the 2nd day we went to the adorable Pentwater town and explored. Came back to the cabin because my son needed to fish and so we dis. While fishing I dropped my ONLY set of keys in the lake and tried to get them out with a net, not luck. My kids got Christin and she was so quick to come and help. She then got her cool giant magnet and after a few minutes of patiently fishing around for my keys she found them!!! Sweetest person ever.The cabin was adorable and my kids and I loved hanging out in it when we weren't exploring the cool town!The lake was right by our cabin. We are already looking forward to our trip next year!!!
We had a great time. Really enjoyed the kayaks, SUPs, and paddle boat provided. The cabin is cozy and had all we needed. Very much appreciated the simple and thoughtful details - like a lantern and s’mores forks. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Very nice blend of a rustic cabin-like feel and the conveniences of a modern house. We enjoyed the cabin and the local beaches, dining, and store fronts.
Such a great cabin for our family to stay and relax in. Loved the proximity to Mears Park, the access to Pentwater Lake, and the fire pit/cornhole game was a fun surprise that the whole family loved! Would 100% stay here again.
We had a fabulous stay at the flip flops cozy cove cabin. They are indeed cozy but we had everything we needed for sleeping, cooking and storing our gear. The location is beautiful and peaceful on the lake. Our two boys were in the water every day. Having access to paddle boards and kayaks made our stay even better - we could play outside without having to leave! This was our second visit and we will definitely return!
This cabin was really clean and well stocked with all that you would need for an extended stay. It was very quiet and relaxing. Location was perfect and amongst all areas attractions were easily driven too. We WILL return!
We Know the area (Pentwater/Silver Lake) very well .... but we just found it!
A slice of heaven.
Very unassuming and quaint...
A family of 4-6 could easily enjoy a week or more in the flip-flop cabin...
From the themed decor to the throwback kitchen table to the Newer microwave,coffee maker and fridge... you will get “the cabin “ experience.
You will hear in the back of your mind... (Tim Allen)

Flip Flop Cabin
We loved our stay at the Flip Flop Cabin. Pentwater is wonderful little town, that my family has enjoyed over the years. The cabin is located at perfect spot on Lake Pentwater and for a 15 minute walk you can see the sun set on Lake Michigan. The cabin was clean and comfortable with all new furniture and kitchen supplies. Our host were great. We will be back again. So excited we found a great place to stay in Pentwater.

We had a great time!
We really enjoyed our stay! The lake was beautiful and we were able to keep our boat in the water for our entire stay, which made things so much easier, because we used it multiple times everyday. The owner even helped my husband by driving our truck back to the cabin after he put the boat in (which was very close to the cabin). The cabin was stocked with so much more than I expected. The kitchen had everything you would need, including a coffee pot, toaster, utensils, dish towels, pots & pans, storage containers and more. The cabin itself was clean and comfortable. The owners of the property were awesome, and very helpful. They were on-site daily and even changed out our used bath towels, which I didn't expect at all. Pentwater is a great little town and there is a lot to do within a short drive. The beaches in both Pentwater and Ludington were amazing. We will definitely go back.
Originally from the Lansing, Michigan area, my family frequently vacationed at Charles Mears State Park in Pentwater, enjoying the beach, putt-putt, and the small beach-town community. It makes me smile to meet guests from all over the country, and share lake life with other families as they make lasting memories.
Why they chose this property
We are located on the south side of Pentwater Lake in a quiet neighborhood. We are a short drive to downtown or Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and a quick bike ride to Pentwater Pathways or to Chester Street Park which has a boardwalk to the channel and pier to Lake Michigan.
