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.

What a beautiful place! Beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked for the meals that we made. Extremely clean! The views and quietness were much needed for our time away. Thank you for the use of your cottage we will be back!
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.
House has a perfect location on the lake, very quiet neighborhood, not far from South Haven. Perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. Communication with the host was fast an easy. Highly recommended
This place was a perfect getaway for my family. Secluded, cozy yet spacious, and a short drive to area attractions and beaches. Excellent deck and lake views.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Massey
It all started with a need to getaway for a weekend. Being transplants from the west, we rely a great deal on locals who have lived here longer than we have. Originally from Montana, we love being able to escape to the mountains and enjoy the outdoors. A friend recommended the Saugatuck/Douglas because and we have been coming here ever since. Enjoy your Michigan dream vacation with us!
Why they chose this property
We started with West Winds, and purchased it with the hopes we could retire here someday. With a full remodel in 2014, every surface was retouched and redone. Next came Pinecrest and again with a full remodel - down to the studs. The only original surface in Pinecrest is the knotty pine ceiling. In 2017 from we added to the unique neighborhood in Miami Park - one of the last historically platted neighborhoods in Allegan County. Endless Blue is a spacious home with all you will need to enjoy South Haven and Lake Michigan.
