About this property

Cozy, lakefront cabin with gas grill and wrap-around deck.

Located in the middle of the 30,000 acre Allegan State Forest and on the banks of Lake Allegan, Pinecrest features an original knotty pine ceiling, you will be welcomed into this charming Michigan cabin. Open floor plan with galley kitchen, this home has everything you need for a relaxing time away. Two cozy bedrooms overlook a large wooded lot with private frontage on to Lake Allegan. Large, mature oak canopy provides a shaded respite from hot summer days.

Cabin is a two bed, one bath 1,000 sq foot house. Lot size is .46 acres, with 100 feet of frontage along the lake. 40-50 feet along the lake have been left as natural buffer from neighbors and to prevent erosion. The dock on the bank leads out into the water from the shoreline, which has small boardwalk for additional. Listing photos are from 2020, unless otherwise noted.

Outside, take your morning coffee on the large wrap-around porch and watch the birds and boats go by. Fire pit, gas grill and outdoor dining is also available for lazy summer nights. Bring your boat, kayaks, jet skis and fishing gear.

While the lot is secluded and wooded; the property is treated twice a month for mosquitoes and ticks. Due to lack of sunlight our efforts to grow a formal lawn have failed. But, it is also professionally mowed and weeded twice a month. The lot is wooded and subject to plant growth and/or insects during that time. The lot is not professionally landscaped in terms of formal, organized flower beds. Wildfowers and plants that can survive in the shade, evergreen and oak trees compose most of the flora on our lot. We love it this way and hope you will too.

With a 70' private dock, enjoy Michigan in a quiet, nature filled retreat away from the noise of city life. Pinecrest is a great place to relax under the canopy of mature trees and enjoy nature.

Pinecrest is:
10 Minutes to Downtown Allegan
15 Minutes to Downtown Fennville
20 Minutes to Bittersweet Ski Resort
25 Minutes to Saugatuck/Douglas, South Haven
35 Minutes to Holland

Dock is usually installed mid April and may removed anytime after mid September, dependent on the weather.

We were looking for a quiet, peaceful place for a getaway, and this home didn't disappoint! We loved the views and private setting. We were still within a fairly close driving distance to everything we wanted to see and do. The owners were helpful and lovely to deal with. We vacation frequently in this area and would not hesitate to return to this home.

Very comfortable cabin on Lake Allegan. We stayed there in order to golf at some nearby courses and it was very convenient. The home had everything we needed and it was great to sit on the deck with a book with views of the lake. We did not take advantage of any water activities but if we went again it would be fun to bring a kayak or paddle board.
