Mark & I are passionate about Lake Michigan! Our family has years (generations) of cherished memories here. Family owned since the early 60s. We prioritize the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, maintaining high standards for cleaning, maintaining, and assisting them when needed.
Retro cottage feel with upgrades for comfort and all you need for a wonderful stay.

The neighborhood chose us! It is an upscale area and super popular for beautiful sights & activities all around. Lake view and private beach access right in the front yard Summer weeks book up quickly with repeat families . We also offer plenty of nicely groomed yard space for grilling, picnicking and playing. Large yard overlooking Lake Michigan is shady and cool with lake breezes, and the sounds of the waves crashing make for a slice of heaven. The Donner family has roots in nearby Three Oaks and the cottage is multi generational.
A pleasantly unique experience in a spotless, & comfy summer cottage. We often refer to it as "the cottage of content" and it's actual name is "Thunderdune".
