About this property

Cedarwood Cabin - 3 Minute walk to the beach!

AIR CONDITIONING JUST ADDED!

Beautiful log cabin nestled in the woods between Silver Lake and Pentwater. Great family vacation site. We have deeded access to 750 feet of private association beach. While not directly on the waterfront, it's a very short 3 minute stroll to the stairs leading to our beautiful beach. (Google Maps show a 7 minute drive, but that is inaccurate!) We keep 4 plastic adirondack chairs on the beach all summer for your convenience. You can walk for miles north or south.
You'll find that our cabin is equipped with everything you'll need for an awesome family vacation: an outdoor firepit, gas grill, games, beach toys, Wi Fi access, a large flat screen TV with ROKU availability. We have a cozy screened in porch as well as 2 decks and a covered front porch complete with rocking chairs.
Ten minutes in your car will land you either at Silver Lake to the south or Pentwater to the north.
Pentwater Pathways are a short drive - beautiful groomed cross country ski trails in the winter and hiking/biking trails spring, summer and fall.
For a great biking experience the whole family can enjoy, visit the 22 mile paved Hart Montague Rail Trail.
We love spending time at our cottage - and we know you will too!

Our family travelled from Ontario, Canada and we had an absolutely amazing time here! The cottage was clean and lots of room for all of us. The location was central to so many things and the beach along lake Michigan was spectacular. We are planning on coming back again soon!

Property was clean and access to the beach as described. Lots of steps but very sturdy steps. Well water was okay but we ended up buying jugs of water. Host was easy to work with. Definitely recommend for family vacation.

Great location, good beach access a block away, and the property description was accurate. The well water is pretty bad - seems like it's due to high iron content. I'd recommend the host provide bottled water for future guests, at least to get through the first day.

We’ve made staying a week at Cedarwood Cabin and annual event. It’s the best of both worlds- beach and cabin in the woods. We have a bigger dog, so finding a place that will take him WAS difficult. We found the perfect place!

Just an incredible place to stay. Everything need3d was provided. The house is quiet, warm (awesome fireplace), comfortable and just a 100 yard walk to the stairs to Lake Michigan with a gracious and courteous host to boot. We have stayed in many places on VRBO, this is hands down the most prepared house we have ever stayed in. We didn’t need to bring or buy a thing. Thank you again, we plan to rent this place again soon.

Awesome location

Cabin was beautiful and better than the pictures. It has both the feeling of a forest cabin and a beach house. The water is well water and definitely would not drink the tap water.

Fantastic visit!

The cabin is delightful - clean, spacious, well-appointed, inviting and quiet. The location is wonderful - and the walk to the stairs to the beach is less than 1 minute. The fall colors were stunning and we enjoyed time around the outdoor campfire both nights. The house has lots of games and the kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, pans and a dishwasher! We had a wonderful visit and will come back again!

Lovely, picturesque cabin. Very comfortable and spacious. Clean. Well appointed. Ample kitchen supplies, utensils and plates. Plenty of room for 5 adults and three dogs. Fire pit was ideal for a large group. A lovely place for family memories. Keeping in mind the 80 steps down and up the stairs to get to the beach.

Great Getaway

If you’re looking for a great getaway only a short walk from Lake Michigan, this place is it. We like to vacation with our dog, so choices are limited when looking to rent. This place was great for us and the dog. Nice cozy cabin in the woods just minutes away from Silver Lake and Pentwater. The only thing missing was the bald-headed bear (Great Outdoors reference). Look forward to returning in the years to come.

Michigan trip

The only complaint would be, the couch was not very comfortable. Cushions flat from age and use. Other wise I loved the log cabin it was so cute very close th the beach and sand dunes. We could ride our bikes everywhere. I would stay there again.
