About this property

The Cottage Lake Michigan Sanctuary with Pristine White-Sand Beach and Woods

The Cottage is a beautifully decorated French Country bungalow located on 7.5 acres of a privately owned compound.

Stroll through the stunning gardens to the shores of Lake Michigan, where 300 feet of Pristine White-Sand Shoreline await just steps away.

Visitors often remark that it is as vast and magnificent as any ocean.

Beach chairs and sand toys are available for a relaxing day of play in the sand.

The property is home to 5 acres of wooded hiking trails through your own secluded cedar forest. No matter the season the adventure of exploring the woods is a highlight for visitors.

In the Spring, Summer and Fall, the outdoor grill is available for your cooking pleasure with plenty of outdoor seating. Inside the Cottage, a coffee maker, mini fridge and toaster allow the conveniences of any hotel - but with luxury, views and comfort that is unsurpassed.

Located north of Milwaukee and just 15 minutes south of historic Kohler, there is plenty to do for those looking to stay busy. However, if you are looking to do absolutely nothing in a luxurious private setting than The Cottage is where you need to be.

As a romantic getaway, a charming stay for a girl’s weekend, or a family with children The Cottage at Casa del Lago is an ideal home away from home.

The alternate name for Casa del Lago is The Sanctuary, with good reason. This is a property like none other. The smell of cedar, the wind in the trees, the lapping and/or roar of the waves, with the morning birds, will transform your body and mind during your stay.

We're pretty sure your first time visiting The Cottage at Casa del Lago will not be your last... Come and find out for yourself!

We loved the easy access to the beach, particularly the fire pit and plenty of wood. Even though there are other buildings on the property, the space felt private and comfortable. Great location for visiting Kohler-Andrae state park!Recommend bringing a cooler for additional cold storage.

We loved our stay at the Casa del Lago. The cottage is a few steps away from the white sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. We were able to relax and felt like the world stood still for a moment. The cottage and the grounds were well maintained. We'll be back in the future!

The cottage was nestled among pine trees and a forest of ferns. It was like a magical fairy hideawy. The very private beach was only a few steps away. While walking the trails behind the cottage we experinced such quiet that is rare.The cottage was beautifully decorated; the walk-in shower very accomodating; the master suite very comfortable. On one rainy day we enjoyed sitting near the large picture window looking out onto the forest of ferns and trees. We enjoyed the window boxes full of colorful flowers and ferns, including bleeding hearts, one of my favorite woodland plants.Our hosts were gracious, accomodating and warm.All in all it was a very restful and rejuvenating experience. We hope to return to Casa del Lago again!Cheryl and Ed

Extremely peaceful and beautiful location. We didn’t get a lot of lake time due to rain and (sadly) some big flies on the beach during the bright windless day, but we loved the firepit and the sound of the waves. Everything was great in the cabin.

Excellent stay at the beach

We stayed two nights in early August. The cottage was clean and well maintained. I had to reset the regulator valve on the grill, but that only took a couple of minutes. The 2nd sleeping area isn’t really a bedroom, but it worked well for our two kids.Overall it was a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by George

Host profile image
I’ve been in the creative field since my early days in business, whether conceptualizing and creating commercials for some of America’s iconic brands, to designing, remodeling and decorating exceptional properties.

Having searched for the perfect lake front property for what seemed like an eternity, I came across this property, I knew this was it, and was inspired to call it Casa del Lago. We developed a theme of construction and design specific to each of the property’s 5 buildings and cohesively tied them together to blend with the natural environment of the sandy beach and the beautiful scented cedar forest.

Why they chose this property

When we first began looking for a lake house, I was skeptical—and more than a little hesitant. With two young children at the time and already plenty of upkeep at our home in Chicago, the thought of taking on another property felt less like an escape and more like an added burden.

We searched throughout Indiana and Michigan but never found a place that truly felt right. Then, while visiting friends in Kohler, we decided to take a slight detour and look at a few homes along Lake Michigan on the way.

The moment we arrived here, everything changed. We fell in love with the privacy, the untouched beach, the surrounding forest, and the peacefulness of the setting. It felt secluded yet welcoming—like a world of its own. What I had once imagined would be another responsibility suddenly felt like an extraordinary place where our family could slow down, reconnect, and create memories for generations to come.

I could hardly contain myself when walking the grounds with the realtor - it was more than we could have ever imagined. As I told my husband then, do not waste another minute looking elsewhere, this was the place.

You will undoubtedly understand why when you come. Casa del Lago has been a blessing to our family and one we are thankful to be able to share with you.

What makes this property unique

Starting with 300 feet of Pristine White-Sand frontage along Lake Michigan.

You won't leave the same as you arrived. It is impossible to walk the property, breath in the cedar scented air and hear the constant lapping of the lake and not be changed.

You will sleep deeper, feel calmer and find that that the evasive answers to your questions are answered in the space that can only be described as a sanctuary
