About this property

Fully Restored Lakefront Cabin on Stony Lake

Fully restored 4 bed, 3 bath lakefront cabin with modern accommodations located on Stony Lake. Tie up at the dock to explore Stony Lake. Sip your morning cup on the comfy front porch lounge furniture and watch the sunrise. Prepare your meals in a newly renovated kitchen or grill and dine al fresco in the covered patio or outdoors on the front lawn. Read a book in the book under the stairs on a rainy day. Get cozy by the fire on chilly nights.

Stony Lake is a spring fed all-sport lake great for fishing, swimming, power boating, sailing, paddle boarding, and kayaking.

The cabin is located on the south side of Stony Lake which makes access to local attractions easy, such as Lake Michigan, Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Michigan's Adventure, golfing, cycling trails, and more. Ludington, Pentwater, Montague, Hart, and Whitehall are all within 30 minutes.

Cabin relaxation

This cabin was the perfect fit for our family. The kids enjoyed the closeness of the lake for rafting and fishing and it was centrally located to many of things Lake Michigan has to offer.

The property was amazing - spacious and clean. The yard was great with plenty of room to play games, there was great lighting too! Fishing off the dock was a family favorite. The beach at the house wasn’t a good swimming area but we found access to Lake Michigan 5 mins away. Golf, tubing, and other local attractions make this a perfect location! We loved our stay - thank you so much!

Perfect Stony Lake Cabin

Clean, neat and user friendly. Ample mumber of beds, multiple separate gathering areas, 3 showers which never ran out if hot water (with a group of 6). Full sized washer and drier was a huge plus with kids. Plenty of room to spread out both inside and outside on the property.

Thank you for your review! A neighbor previously dumped sand, which was not allowed, and it has since grown in with grass. We’ll be updating our listing photos to better reflect the current state. The waterfront is still accessible and usable for play, but it's now grassy rather than sandy. Appreciate your call out!

Beautiful cabin

We had a large group of family for our annual get together The cabin is just superb and very picturesque Everything we had wanted Our only negative comment is the beach area is not cleared and brush cut to allow more space to hang out , our grandkids loved to play in the water off the dock so only a minor comment Thank you for a great place to remember

Great spot. We spent most our time at the local lake MI beach access which was a mile away. Although public it felt private. The house was very clean upon arrival and had everything we could think of. The decor and all the antiques within the home were very cool. We ate out locally one night at The Farmhouse (great steak) and grabbed pizza a couple times at the local market close to the lake. Would love to try this place for ice fishing in the winter after learning there is walleye and pike!

Our “Happy Place”

This was our 3rd time renting this location and we had another wonderful time together. Plenty of room to spread out, lots to do on the lake and in the area (like Silver Lake or Lewis Farms or Pentwater, etc.) and the fire pit and evenings around the fire are a highlight. Everyone - no matter the age - loves this place! Looking forward to next time!

Unique Log Cabin on a Quiet Lake

This house has been beautifully restored and was immaculate upon check in. We liked that we could enjoy the lake but also pop over to Lake Michigan beaches for a change of scenery. We enjoyed the firpit and starlit skies at night. Owner was very responsive to our questions and the kitchen was well appointed. Great place to get away from it all and reconnect to nature and family!

A delightful property for large group

This is a perfect size and location for a large group. Plenty of parking and outdoor space. House easily accommodates multiple generations. We spent countless hours on playing games at the large table on enclosed porch off dining room. It is beautifully updated but still has rustic charm. We brought our own kayaks and SUP and spent many hours on the lake. Very conveniently located to Lake Michigan for those who want to be at beach. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a spacious place for family and/or friends.

Winter Weekend

I booked Mary's cabin to celebrate my wife's birthday with some family and friends. We were 12 in total (7 adults, 5 children) and had tons of space to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The cabin was super clean and provided a perfect atmosphere for a wintertime gathering. It's also excellently appointed with a well-equipped kitchen (including pancake griddle!) and many thoughtful details throughout. We were warm and cozy, with everything we needed to enjoy our weekend together. Thank you Mary.

A true log cabin with character...

Great week, great weather! We loved the rennovations that were done on the original log cabin, smart improvements, but maintaining the charm and originality of the log cabin from the field stone fireplace to the log rafters and stairway. The kitchen was awesome and well appointed right down to the spices! The knotty pine in the additions was a nice touch. The property was spacious, the firepit was a hit multiple evenings, the fishing continuously gave smiles and energy to the kids! both the gas and wood grills were perfect from chicken to Steelhead...! Thank you for the great family stay!

Beautiful log cottage

This is a beautiful, log cottage with an old time feel. It has modern amenities like a/c and a fabulous, stocked kitchen, but a cozy, retro cottage vibe remains. Location is great. We had SO many fun activities with a 30 minute drive. The only thing that was different from the listing was the water front. For our visit, the shore was overgrown and weedy (compared to the photos online). We still went swimming but some in our group opted to wear water shoes due to the plant growth. Overall, we had a ball! Wonderful property!

Family get away

Perfect spot for 7 adults and a baby. We rented a pontoon boat from 3rd coast rentals and bought a tube and spent a lot of time tubing. Anchored and floated in a family block. Sunset cruises and bonfires. Early morning fishing on the dock, in kayaks or the boat. Nightly fires in the fire pit with s’mores. Fantastic beach (esp good for small kids) where the lake runs into Lake Michigan, like a mile away. Guys loved a day golfing at Oceaniana Golf club. And it’s July, so blueberry picking one morning also. Perfect, memorable and cozy. A place where memories were made. Thanks for sharing your home!

COVID Vacation 2020

We were looking for an escape from the city with friends before school started. This provided the perfect get-a-away for my family with two kids ages 3 and 3 months, and our friends with two kids ages 2 and 18 months. The cottage was cozy and very kid friendly. There is a swing set in the yard that is very visible from the kitchen, and has a super fun rope/web swing. There was plenty of room to relax and spread out. The yard was large and the fire pit was great. The kids were also able to swim in the lake from the property, although there was alot of seaweed, but the kids didn't care! It is a true log cabin, which added to the charm of the get-away, but noise easily travels between walls and floors of the house; so just something to note and be aware of with small children getting up in the middle of the night. Mary, the host, was so kind and responsive! She has put a lot of love into the cabin and it shows! The area is great, and has so many fun attractions for children. We would definetly stay again!

Our "Happy Place" Rental

Like many families, ours is a bit spread out and this cottage has become a place where we can gather and make memories together. The cottage has plenty of room for adults and kids and the basement provides space to play games or watch T.V. if it's a rainy day. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans for meals together and we can eat on the kitchen, on the porch or outside. The dock and swim float provide plenty of fun for all and evenings around a bonfire are how we ended each day. Already looking forward to next year!

We had a lovely stay at this property. It was very nicely updated and had all the necessary items. The property owner was also very responsive and helpful. We thought the area was cute and enjoyed being so close to the beach. We were slightly disappointed that the beach pictured was filled with weeds but Lake Michigan beach was perfect.

We vacation at this property every year and it never disappoints. Super nice, fun, and well appointed house. Great grounds and setting. The location is close to so many family-friendly activities. A few of our faves are Stony Lake Stables, Country Dairy Farm, the beach at Meinert Park, and hiking the dunes at Luddington State Beach. Mary is also is super property owner.

Beautiful cabin, lots to do

We had a great time staying at the property. Lots to do in the area all within 20 minutes or so. Watched beautiful sunsets each night on lake Michigan. We had a day where the neighbors across the street came down with about 12-15 people and occupied the whole beach, chairs and grassy area. We were looking forward to hanging out down there that day because it was a beautiful sunny day but it just didn't work out. We made use of the dock and caught some fish and enjoyed watching the boaters and jet skiers go by. The cabin was fully stocked and very beautiful inside. We made some great memories and are thankful for our time there.

Well…….it doesn’t get any better!

The cabin built in 1902 has been meticulously renovated and decorated. With Mary’s permission we held a welcome party for my daughter’s wedding on the grounds of the cabin. Suffice to say it was the perfect setting to do so, a party my daughter and her guests will forever remember. Mary, the host, was more than accommodating, going above and beyond to help make it memorable. If you want a classic log cabin experience, on a quiet, beautiful, peaceful lake, in a generally rural area, this is the place!

Ideal Space For Our Family

This property provided everything we needed for the perfect family gathering(s) - just add the kids and grandkids! The home is well equipped, well kept and ideally located to ensure every member of our family had something to do and many wonderful memories were made in the 2 weeks we stayed. Mary was easy to communicate with and when we told her the A/C wasn't working, she had the problem solved as quickly as possible. Some of our family felt the internet was slow, but it works well enough and people weren't tempted to look at their screens when they should be enjoying the beauty of Stony Lake and all of the attractions that surround you from there. We highly recommend this property and we've already booked for next yet - can't wait to return!

This is our family cottage that we have fully restored to it's former glory.

Why they chose this property

It's the perfect all seasons family getaway. Summer brings the opportunity for swimming, horseback riding, golfing, dune exploration, cycling. Fall brings beautiful colors as well as hiking, fishing, and antiquing. Winter is full of fresh powder, ice fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. And with spring comes fresh asparagus, bird watching, Holland tulip festival, and more.
