About this property

Pure Pentwater Cottage: a fully updated lake-front cottage; sleeps 8.

Pure Pentwater Cottage can be your vacation destination, your home away from home, or your remote office location (with high-speed internet) all four seasons of the year. The star of the show is the expansive view of Bass Lake from all the main living spaces. You'll find your whole body and mind relaxing more and more as each day passes, helped by the view and the chic, modern decor.

Summertime offers plenty of water-based fun: on-site kayak and paddle boat, or bring your own boat to dock at the cottage, swimming, and fishing in the sandy-bottom 524-acre all sports Bass Lake. The water depth off the dock and at the lake’s edge is approximately 3-4 feet. Enjoy the sugar-white sand beaches of Lake Michigan at the nearby Pentwater State Park, complete with snack stand, playground, and bathrooms. After a day on and near the water, stroll along picturesque downtown Pentwater's Main Street for shopping and ice cream. Enjoy your meals downtown or back home either grilled and seated around the large picnic table or prepared in the totally updated kitchen with all the modern conveniences (including air fryer, crockpot, Keurig coffee maker, and dishwasher). Evenings gathered on the deck's Adirondack chairs or around the gas fire pit as you watch the sunset over the lake are where memories are made.

Winter time offers the opportunity to spend hours ice fishing directly on the lake, weather-permitting, with your own equipment, or just catching up and slowing down beside the cozy fireplace. Put your feet up with a good book or enjoy a movie on the Roku TV. Winter is a quiet time in Pentwater to escape the daily hustle and bustle in favor of complete serenity, while enjoying the convenience of some local year-round restaurants and visiting nearby Ludington without the crowds.

Spring and Fall have their own natural beauty and offer the same gorgeous lake views and same rejuvenating effect. The fireplace, the fire pit, the grill, the modern kitchen, the comfy beds - they’re all awaiting your arrival. Puzzles, games, pingpong, reading, cooking, walks, and exploring the charming villages of Pentwater and Ludington are a great way to enjoy the cottage no matter which season you visit.

The cottage has three large bedrooms and sleeps 8. The main bedroom is tucked away on the main floor with a king size bed and luxurious hybrid foam mattress — relaxing and supportive for all sleep types. A full bathroom is off the main floor bedroom. Upstairs features two large bedrooms and a full bath. One of the upstairs bedrooms has a queen bed with luxurious Ghost bed mattress topper, as well as a twin bed with trundle. The other upstairs bedroom has a bunk bed and a full size bed. This bed configuration offers a range of options for just about any combination of family and friends. And the central AC/heat and a washer and dryer allow for truly year-round enjoyment.

Come make memories to last a lifetime at Pure Pentwater Cottage.

A beautiful home
And I really do mean a home. This didn’t feel like a VRBO rental or someone secondary residence. The owners have made this space a place where everything you need is already within reach or already thought of. The living area was wonderful, and the kitchen was decked out with top of the line appliances and quality, utensils, and glassware and silverware. While we didn’t bring a little one on this trip, we were impressed to see that the space is prepared to have tiny humans, and we may bring ours in the next trip, to this home, for that reason. I could not more highly recommend this location and residence in Pentwater!

Great cottage
We loved our stay. Super clean! Beautiful view of lake. Loved the interior of the cottage. Nice attention to detail, such as labels on light switches. When we had a problem, the host was very responsive. Looking forward to coming back when the weather is warmer.

An amazing fall getaway!
This place was just perfect for our fall girls getaway weekend! The place was impeccable and we had everything we needed. There is so much attention to detail throughout. We laughed, cooked, played games, relaxed, sat by the fireplace, and outdoor fire pit. The town of Pentwater is super close and easy to get to. We had plenty of space for everyone to sleep. The bedding was great and the beds were very comfortable. I would love to come back in the summer season but fall was just as magical! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Marmion

Host profile image
We both love to travel and love meeting new people. How to combine these? Why, become a VRBO host of course! We are from England and moved to West Michigan a few years ago after finishing our professional careers. We have two grown children and one adorable granddaughter.

Why they chose this property

We'd love to make your stay at our cottage extra-special. It's a gem! The view of the lake surrounded by trees that you'll gaze out on from the full expanse of west-facing windows is what you may love the most (like us). Whatever season you visit you'll enjoy this view in addition to the seasonal delights to be enjoyed all year round.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is recently updated from top to bottom with beautiful, chic, coordinated furnishings. The kitchen is ready for your weekend or month-long stay, and in the warmer months the Adirondack chairs on the deck and around the gas fire pit almost double your living space. We can't wait to welcome you!
