Location Location Location! Enjoy the quiet private lakefront neighborhood, and the proximity to all of the vacation activities you can think of in West Michigan. We're right on the lake...not across the road, or down a hill...just a nice easy stroll across the beautiful yard to the lakes edge, making it easy, and safe for families. The lake is shallow along our 75 ft of frontage, safe for children to wade and swim...with it becoming gradually deeper. We've added a play set for children, 3 kayaks, peddle boat, row boat, toys, and have provided all of the amenities to make your vacation relaxing and care-free.
We have left as much of the original '50's cottage' feel as we can. We love the pine paneling, and 50's light fixtures that are original to the 1950's remodel our grandparents did to the home. The cute wood doors separating the kitchen from the living room were something we all remember as kids.
Lala's huge lakeside bedroom with mint green tiled full bath just outside of the bedroom door; is pure delight. We've added a bunkbed and tv to this room that are a big hit. Who doesn't remember bunkbeds in cottages of the past? We've had fun furnishing with new linens while keeping the original wallpaper and curtains that match in this room.
The queen bedroom with it's small en-suite full bath, is just right, with it's built in dressers, and a nice closet to unpack your suitcase in to. This suites paneling has been painted the prettiest light turquoise blue, after being dark gold for years! Very fresh and pretty now, with the prettiest mid century white wood headboard, and tiny white leather chair. Furniture back then was much smaller than today's furniture.
We have many familiar retro dishes, and decor for you to discover and enjoy throughout. I had a lot of fun furnishing the cottage. The 50's kitchenette and game table are personal favorites...with a few family antiques.
Come and savor this unique and historical cottage. I think you'll fall in love.
