Why they chose this property
My grandfather bought this cottage in the summer of 1941. Our next door neighbors to the north have been owners since 1939! This is a old-style cottage, with screened in porch, no air conditioning, no washer/dryer, no WiFi and no cable or satellite TV! We do have a small TV with DVD player for viewing videos. No live TV reception. We have several renters who have been renting for over 10 years--they tell us they keep coming back because the love the cottage, the beach, the woods and the proximity to Pentwater and Silver Lake.
