Getaway at Bent Pines Cottage | ​​Lakefront Property, 3,200 sq ft, 4 BR, 3 Full BA, Sleeps 12

ABOUT BENT PINES
Bent Pines Cottage is situated right on Lake Michigan, nestled among old growth trees (including a 100 year-old Bent Pine) with an incredible waterfront view. Constructed in 2006, Bent Pines is up to date with air-conditioning, a gas fireplace, wifi, and geothermal heating for year-round comfort.

PRIVATE BEACH
Take a short walk across our bridge to find a stairwell to our private 140-foot beach. Listen to the waves crash while you read a book, take long beach walks, build sand castles, or take out our two kayaks at sunset.

FIRE PIT
The best part of living on a dune is watching the sunset next to a crackling fire. Our in-ground bonfire pit and adirondack chairs have a great view of the water and the sunset each night.

COZY FOR ALL SEASONS
Take in the lake all year. Enjoy fall colors, holiday gatherings with lake effect snow, and walk some of the most beautiful and isolated beaches in the country.

About the host

Hosted by Kristie Kramer

Host profile image
Kristie and Mike Kramer are residents of Grand Rapids and 20+ years living in Michigan. Our families rented Bent Pines each year since 2011 and loved every week we spent there. When Don and Sue Miller offered to sell their property to us it a was a no brainer! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to share this with your family. Every summer we save a few weeks at Bent Pines to kayak, bike, hike, and cook with our family friends and 4 children. We hope you enjoy your time like we have.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved Lake Michigan and even more the convenience of the Whitehall Montague area. This is a great property 1 hour from downtown Grand Rapids on the beautiful Lake Michigan shore. Where else can you be so close to a major city yet have the solitude and privacy of the remote beaches of this area. Due to the very high claybanks of the north (some properties have over 300 steps to the beach) and the location north of Muskegon, these beaches have very little traffic.
