About this property

Cottage On Tunnel Of Trees - Beach Access, Lake Views, Surrounded by Woods


Escape to this secluded chalet-style cottage perched on a wooded bluff above Michigan’s world-famous Tunnel of Trees, where views of Lake Michigan meet the serenity of northern woods.

Tucked on the inland side of M-119, this private getaway offers exclusive beach access just across the road and sits on more than an acre of forest. Both the cottage and beach face north meaning that you have views of both sunrise and sunset from the beach.

Inside, the cottage is cozy yet spacious, with gathering and relaxation spaces across three levels. The main level features a full kitchen, dining area, and a large living room with a vintage fireplace and TV. Off the first level is a three-season room, and a large deck that overlooks Lake Michigan. The top level includes a master suite with a king bed and private deck, plus a second bedroom with twin beds and a trundle. The lower level offers a cozy bedroom/living space with four twin beds, a three-quarter bath.

The cottage has high speed fiber optic internet, central air (new in 2026) and heat, and full laundry facilities. Along with a fully equipped kitchen, two streaming tvs, and an abundant supply of board games. Outdoors, enjoy a fire pit, stone patio, and propane and charcoal grills. Guests may also use two kayaks or touring bikes for scenic rides to nearby Good Hart or Cross Village along the Tunnel of Trees.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Epperly

Host profile image
Life long Michigander. I grew up in the Detroit area, currently live in the Grand Rapids area, and have owned our Cross Village cottage since 2013. I enjoy walking the beach with my dog Gilligan along with hitting the hiking trails in the Cross Village and Harbor Springs area. Guests have indicated I am very responsive to any questions before or during your stay.

Why they chose this property

I was introduced to the Tunnel of Trees approximately many years ago and was instantly taken by its uniqueness and natural beauty.

The cottage is surrounded by trees, yet has great views overlooking the Tunnel of Trees and Lake Michigan. Behind the property is over an acre of unblemished woods with a creek running through it. Cross Village and the cottage generally feel very secluded. You can often walk the beach or the Tunnel of Trees for a mile or more without encountering other people.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is perched on a wooded bluff overlooking the Tunnel of Trees with views of Lake Michigan. The cottage and beach area face north, meaning that while on the beach you will be able to see both sunrise and sunset. Guests have often commented that the cottage seems very secluded and spacious (with many different rooms for guests to either spend time together or grab some privacy). The cottage has private beach access.
