Very comfortable environment with plenty of amenities to make our stay more enjoyable.
Because this cottage is nestled in a neighborhood among other privately owned homes with Lake MI views & private beach access, it was a little challenging to find at first. The drive leading to the cottage can be a little daunting, but it is located close to and has easy access to the charming town of Pentwater. The owner was wonderful to communicate with and very accommodating. The ramp leading to the beach with a deck halfway made is easier to get to the beach/lake ,which was just a very short sandy walk away. The beach area is small, due to erosion issues with Lake Michigan, but this beach was larger than most of the others around us. Kitchen was fully equipped with microwave, dishwasher,stove,fridge and plenty of dishes. WI-FI & cable tv worked great. 2 full baths, strong water pressure and even though it is well water it tasted fine (there is a water filtration system in home). There is a washer & dryer but we did not use them. Be aware there is no air conditioning, which we found to be uncomfortable on our last night because of the unusual humid 95+ degree weather, however for the most part it was very pleasant inside the house, especially at night. Parking is very limited - space for only 2 cars so be prepared for that if you are planning on having a lot of people stay at the cottage. One of the best features of this location was the privacy & peace & quiet. Charming home with lots of character. The only real negative I would say to be prepared for is that the house had a strong mildew smell from being closed up. We opened all the windows immediately but it took a day or 2 to get used to. I think this is not unusual for cottages that are used on a limited basis. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I would be happy to recommend to others to stay here.
