About this property

Lakefront cottage...swim, kayak, fish, hike, bonfires and excellent reviews.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the lakefront deck, listen to the loons calling, or make s'mores in the fire pit while stargazing. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful family vacation. Our beachfront is perfect for small children with a gradual depth and warm water. Hart Lake (also known as Little Silver Lake) is an all sports lake located just outside of Twin Lake, Michigan. There are 2 kayaks that you can take exploring for turtles, fish and other wild life. There is ample room for throwing a football, a frisbee or playing a game of horseshoes (equipment provided and found in shed). Pack light because also included are linens, towels, beach towels, all your paper needs, Wi-Fi, stocked kitchen, DVD, movie collection, flat screen TV, basic cable, Netflix and numerous streaming channels.

This charming cottage is located only 15 minutes from Cedar Point's Michigan Adventure Amusement Park, 10 minutes from Stonegate Golf Club, 30 minutes from Double JJ Ranch (indoor water park for rainy days), 40 minutes from Silver Lake Sand Dunes, 20 minutes from Muskegon State Park and numerous other attractions. For the girls, shop in downtown Grand Haven or Whitehall (awesome gift, clothing and specialty food shops).

Cottage is decorated for the seasons. One hundred and fifty feet up the road is the Manistee National Forest (2000 acres of marked and groomed trails for hiking, ATVs and Snowmobiling). For nature lovers, the bird calls here are fantastic. This cottage is lovely for those who want a peaceful place to relax, read, hike, cook, or just be. This is an amazing place for kids to fish, swim, roast marshmallows around the camp fire and play on their own beach. If you love the outdoors and nature, this is it! Come stay with us!

The absolutely perfect place for enjoying our vacation. The location is within 15-20 minutes of so many places to explore in the Muskegon area. Val was the perfect host, answering our questions promptly even before we booked and afterwards. Check in was easy, the home was lovely and the view was so beautiful. The setting was so lovely and peaceful, we didn't want to leave.

Quiet Family get-away

Paradise! Val’s cottage was so cozy, quiet, and has everything we could need and ask for!!! We loved the little beach and the fishing was great. We traveled with our family (2 young boys and dogs). This was our first time to the West Side of Michigan. I highly recommend her cottage and will be returning.

About the host

Hosted by Val Luh

Host profile image
We feel so blessed to have found this beautiful place. We just purchased our cottage December 2012 and have already made great memories there. We skied at Mulligan's Hollow 7 times this past winter (boy do we get the snow here). We have had some fun spring weekends, and look forward to many more this summer. We live 3 hours away and have a wonderful property manager that has taken great care of our cottage and will take care of all your needs.

Why they chose this property

My family and I have been looking for this property for 3 years. This is a beautiful area. Hilly and curvy roads with that Western Michigan feel. This cottage is open concept with vaulted ceilings and 8 windows on top lets in lots of light. Our lot is one of the largest lots on the lake so you do not have neighbours at a very close proximity. There is so much room for parking .

What makes this property unique

This cottage is very private. The lot is very large and the neighbours are not very close. Many lake front cottages have neighbours right next door on both sides. This place is unique in that you have your space. Looking for peaceful night sleep, this is the place. We live in the city with cars, trains etc... We never sleep as well as we do when we are at the cottage. Hope you come and stay with us!
