About this property
Private Waterfront Cottage on Lake Michigan
Guests absolutely love this classic 1940s knotty pine cottage, where vintage charm and timeless character come together on the shores of Lake Michigan. The private setting, with several hundred feet of shoreline, direct beach access, and a natural stream running through the property, makes for an unforgettable retreat. Newly outfitted in 2021, this cozy getaway has become a favorite for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in a classic cabin setting.
Private Beach & Outdoor Fun
Guests can’t get enough of the secluded beach just steps away, perfect for swimming, lounging, or taking out the provided paddle boards. Evenings by the fire pit under a star-filled sky are a highlight, while the outdoor dining table and grill make lakeside meals extra special.
Cozy, Classic Interior
Visitors love the warmth and character of the knotty pine walls, the inviting glow of the fireplace, and the breathtaking lake views from inside the cottage. The thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout is just right for couples or small families, and the full kitchen and WiFi provide all the modern comforts needed for a relaxing stay.
Perfect Northern Michigan Location
Guests appreciate being just minutes from charming small towns like Northport (8 min), Leland (10 min), and Suttons Bay (15 min), where they can explore wineries, shops, and local dining. Many also take advantage of the easy day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, and Traverse City for even more adventure.
From sunrise coffee by the lake to evenings by the fire, guests love every moment spent at this peaceful and picturesque Lake Michigan getaway.
