About this property

Dreamy lakefront cottage - 20 min from Ann Arbor!

This adorable lakefront studio cottage is perfect for couples, small daytime gatherings, or WFH! Sip coffee on the deck and soak in the picture-perfect views of peaceful Lake Briggs, one of the cleanest lakes in Livingston Country. SUPs, kayak, and floaties steps from the backyard! Bring your fishing poles, the lake is teeming with bass, perch, blue gill, and catfish. Multiple firepits for s’mores under the stars. Explore hidden back entrance trails to Island Lake State Park on your mountain bike, or take a leisurely walk around the 1-mile neighborhood loop.

550 sq ft lakefront studio cottage with private deck to enjoy the sunset or a coffee in the morning. Comfortable Queen Murphy bed in living room with beautiful wood banisters and pull-out sofa for an additional guest. Luxuriously remodeled bathroom with heated floors, double vanity, and rain showerhead + tub. Dedicated work desk with blazing wi-fi. Full kitchen and dining table. Pull-out sofa to fit an additional guest. Professionally cleaned after every stay.

20 minutes from Ann Arbor, perfect for dinner on Main St or a Fall Saturday afternoon at The Big House. Easy highway access. 5 minutes to lively Downtown Brighton and biking distance to Brighton Hospital. For nature lovers, Island Lake State Park is right in our backyard! Kensington Metropark a short drive away. In the Winter, ski/snowboard Mt Brighton, ice skate, ice fish, or cross country ski! One well-behaved, potty trained pet is welcome!

Cottage is located at the bottom of a steep winding gravel pathway with stone steps through a beautiful garden leading down to the deck. Not ADA accessible, not ideal for those without stable footing and balance.
