About this property

On Lake Michigan, Bright,Light & Airy Summer Haven, Gorgeous Views,Sand Beach

Light filled, very clean and bright vintage cottage on Lake Michigan with a wide beach has all you need for a relaxing getaway, available May through October. We rent by the week, from Saturday to Saturday during June, July and August, and for shorter stays in the fall, through October. Enter through landscaped grounds to open concept living and eating area with vaulted ceiling. Look out from private deck to Lake Michigan view. Equipped kitchen with fridge, micro, stove, and utensils. Breakfast bar and small round dining table, plus outdoor dining on the deck. Barbeque grill, flowers, and hummingbirds abound.
Two small bedrooms: main bedroom with queen-size captain's bed. Second bedroom is dressing and lounge area which could be used for an additional one-person bedroom if needed. Bathroom with shower next to main bedroom.
Clean, cottage feel with lots of windows, light, and views of the Lake. Bedding and plenty of towels for bath and kitchen.
Guests always comment on the beautiful bluff over looking the lake. You can see for miles, watch the sunset and clouds, on a serene lawn with adirondack chairs, and lounge chairs. This is your front yard!
Cottage is set back off the road, and landscaping and fencing runs the full length of either side of the property for privacy.

Lovely property on the beach, close to town
This was a perfect little cottage for me. It’s comfortable for 1-2 people, and it’s on a section of private beach. There’s a larger public beach a mile away and downtown Saugutuck is just 10 minutes away.

Cute Cottage
This cottage is perfect for a couple- the views are spectacular including the sunsets. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. We spent the majority of our time outdoors on the deck or down at the beach.

Tulip Festival
My mother has had the Tulip Festival on her bucket list for 20 years. Fran and Mort could not have been in a more perfect location for us to enjoy the festival as well as enjoy the beauty of sunsets on the shores of Lake Michigan. The cottage had a fully furnished kitchen which was a blessing for breakfast and dinners. Most Tulip activities didn't begin until 10am so we enjoyed sleeping in and enjoyed coffee on the deck overlooking the lake. The cottage was perfect for us, beautifully furnished and very cozy and Fran and Mort were just precious people. I would so very much recommend their cottage for any time of year (except the dead of winter-but I'm a Florida girl). Thank you Fran and Mort, you may see us again!

Hidden Hideaway
Here's a cute place for a couple. We really enjoyed our stay here. We liked the private beach feeling. Wish the weather would have cooperated. We would have spent more time on the beach. Having campfires were nice and watching the sunset was beautiful. We seen a fox run across the lawn a few times. Seen several kinds of birds. Hummingbirds and woodpeckers. And the gulls on the beach. The cottage we stayed in was just right for the two of us. We used the extra bedroom for our things. We mostly went out to eat, but when we did cook, the kitchen was fine. Grill too. This place is in the back away from the main road. Away from the owners home, near the lake. You can listen to the lake waves hitting the shore. You won't hear any traffic. A charming hideaway. Fran and Mort were wonderful hosts.

Host profile image
My husband and I are an active couple who love to bicycle, sail, and take care of our wonderful spot on Lake Michigan. Mort enjoys getting people out on the water on our sailboat with our charter company Sweetwater Sailing of Saugatuck, 616-566-8386. Visit sweetwatersailing.com and read about it. We have lived here since 1976 and our guests at Summer Haven cottage are so important to us. We are happy to give you recommendations for dining and activities, and share our favorite places with you. It is fun to have people come and fall in love with our wonderful area. We are here to help if you need it, and we respect your privacy. Our house and the cottage you are reading about here are spaced far apart with the plenty of privacy at each. The property in several acres of space. The magic of being right on the lake and enjoying the light changes and reflections on the water during the day, and the stars and the moon at night makes this location such a favorite place to be.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the area - this has been our home for 40 years. Saugatuck is not the typical small town. It is full of art galleries, activities at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts, live music, a brew pub, wonderful history museum, beautiful surroundings. We are close to all the action yet completely peaceful and private and right on the beach.
The nice big grassy garden and bluff overlooking the lake are so welcoming during the long summer days and evenings, guests enjoy spending lots of time there, relaxing on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Lovely lakeshore location offers direct access to your own private bluff view of Lake Michigan. Enjoy lounging on your private beach, long beach walks, and spectacular sunsets, and yes, moonsets! Hop in the car for a quick drive to Saugatuck State Park, shopping, coffee shops,great restaurants, art galleries, wineries, brew pub, live music and theater, and the great variety of planned events throughout the summer and fall in both Saugatuck and Douglas. There are many interesting communities to visit nearby, beautiful country roads to expore. If you love bicycle paths, they abound in the area.
