Lake Michigan water views abound at our historic cottage located directly on a pristine sandy beach (with NO rocks) - and now with central air on the entire 1st floor. Walk in your bare feet to enjoy sunrise coffee on the sand. Unforgettable lake views throughout and also from the upstairs master and 2nd bedrooms. Come for extraordinary privacy and peaceful solitude and enjoy the amazing sun and moon rises over the lake. This unique beach front cottage on the sand awaits you!
Our cottage is highlighted by a 50 foot screened lake front porch. It is adorned with colorful hand painted furniture, an inviting large dining table, a vintage rocker collection, and custom designed upholstery. Whether you choose to chill in a rocker or take a snooze on the daybed, the lake porch is perennial visitor favorite. Please take a moment to sign our guest book and add your cottage memory to our journal.
The large upstairs master bedroom has jaw dropping sit down lake views (not an exaggeration, see the site landing photo), queen size bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, desk/work station, dresser, many hanging hooks and a cozy, water front view reading area. The second upstairs bedroom has a twin bed, a double bed, ceiling fan, another water front view reading area with 2 comfy chairs, a toy suitcase, and lots of space for playing and portable crib(s). This bedroom is the only one without AC however there are several lake front and other windows as well as a new oversized ceiling fan. There is a full, though very small, bathroom upstairs. The Porch Bedroom has a queen bed, ceiling fan, 2 dressers, plus a private entrance to porch. The Peach Bedroom has a queen bed, ceiling fan, lots of hanging hooks and dresser.
Our somewhat dated kitchen has a brand new refrigerator, a newer range/oven, new microwave, coffee maker/filters and ample storage and dish drying areas. Pullout daybed (trundle on bottom) with privacy curtains on lake front porch sleeps 2 with amazing views and sounds of Lake Michigan - a favorite spot! The living room sports a large screen Roku TV, wood burning fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating. Firewood is sold at local grocery stores.

About the host
Hosted by Mary, Marty & Jeremy Fleischman
In addition to spending time at The Seagull Lodge my husband and I love to swim, ski, hike, backpack and hang out with our family. "There is nothing higher and some good memory--especially a memory of childhood, of home." -Fydor Dostoyevsky
Why they chose this property
The Seagull Lodge is located on land that has been in my mother's family since the late 1800's. My husband, son and I are fortunate to be the current owners of this property. Since we are not able to get there as often as we would like, we decided to list our cottage for use by others who, we are certain, will find it as special as we do. Our sons honed their crawling skills on the beach, learned to bike up hills on Smies Road, became strong swimmers by challenging each other to make it to the second sandbar and have spent hour after hour playing in the sand. The four of us (now along with their significant others) continue to gather at the cottage every summer. The Seagull Lodge is a wonderfully peaceful, laid-back, private, and magical place. We are certain you will create your own memories with a stay at our property.
What makes this property unique
When I come to the cottage I don't like to leave. For quick trips into town I prefer to bike with my backpack to hold the groceries. I love the natural beauty of our lake and wooded surroundings and relish the peaceful; yet dramatic setting. Long walks on the beach and country roads are a favorite as well as reading, socializing, working on projects, and playing games with family and friends.
