Driving along beautiful coastal roads through the sleepy town of Cleveland, your eyes will naturally set on 1611 Lakeshore Drive.  Located on 5 acres of lawns and over 300 feet of private beach, the Lakeglass Cottage is one of the largest properties that offers direct and easy water access. 

The unique design of Lakeglass Cottage is a real feat in optical illusion.  Viewed from the street, you will wonder how all guests will fit in this charming cottage. 

The vast property allows for a breathtaking views of Lake Michgan.  The gentle slope that opens to a vast lawn will allow you to practice your swing or play outdoor games mere feet from the water's edge. 

Whether you are looking forward to taking a swim, dipping your toes, or searching for colorful lake glass along the shore, two steps is all that's required to reach the water's edge.  

An oversized outdoor fire-pit and cozy Adirondack chairs will keep the conversations going way into the night.  Gaze up and you will be stunned to see unobstructed views of innumerable stars. 

Once you are ready to head home, a warm outdoor shower will take care of any lake water or hitchhiking sand on your skin.

Enjoy dinner al fresco on the large patio and carry the mood way into the night as you warm up by the outdoor gas fireplace.  Step into the house and pick up a snack without having to trek up the stairs... the kitchen is open.

​When you're ready to retire, the comfortable beds and sounds of the crashing waves will carry you to sleep.

THE COTTAGE
Unlock the front door and you will be amazed at the views offered by floor to ceiling windows with 180 degree lake views.  The clever layout ensures magnificent views wherever you are in the house; whether it be preparing meals in the state of the art kitchen, lounging on the couch in the living room, hanging out on the patio, or lazing in bed. The main bedroom & in-suite bath are worthy of a five star retreat, with lake views from bed and a private door to the patio.  Leave the sliding door open at night and enjoy the sounds of waves crashing on the beach.
