Beautiful Lodge-sleeps 16-wrap around porch-Lake Michigan, Pentwater, Ludington

A storybook setting on a wooded hill, this two story timber house with a walk out ‘kid’s zone’ basement living and sleeping area, is the perfect setting to get away from it all. Walking distance from Bass Lake (an all sport lake) and less than a mile to three Lake Michigan public access parks or beaches make this the ideal location for a family get away. There are four upstairs bedrooms, one first floor bedroom and an open children’s bedroom in the basement level so it will sleep a total of 16 people. There is a full bathroom available on every floor of our home one which has a tub w/shower.

The ten foot wide wrap around porch is an ideal place to sit on the swing or one of the many chairs to enjoy the morning coffee or to sit in the breeze and talk with family and friends. This is a very private setting and yet has all the amenities; cable TV, internet, landline phone service, pure reverse osmosis drinking water and full house water filtering system, microwave, new glass top stove, and washer and dryer.
The kids will love the ‘kid zone’ living area .with their own TV and DVD. The whole family will enjoy evenings in the walkout screen porch on the lower level overlooking the fire pit area. The open concept living room, dining room and kitchen are ideal for entertaining. The classy antique décor of the timber house is delightful. Everything you need to enjoy your stay is available for you. A toaster, microwave, coffee maker, electronic tea pot, dishwasher, all dishes and pans, all linens and towels are available for your use. There is parking for two cars at the house and parking at the bottom of the hill for five more for your toys or cars, with total parking for 6-8 vehicles.

Whether it is walking the wooded trails behind the home, visiting the popular shopping and dining areas of Pentwater (five miles) and Ludington (10 miles), enjoying Silver Lake State Park (17 miles), or just relaxing on the porch on the wooded hilltop, everything for your family dream vacation is within reach.

Three "must-dos" before you leave:
-Visit the Bortel's Fishery (1 mile North on Lakeshore) where they fry their fresh fish and fries while you wait. Have a picnic on their front lawn or across the street at the park which includes a Lake Michigan beach.
-Take the kids to Pentwater to the Mears State Park where they have a nice snack/souvenir shop and playground for the kids. And for bigger kids, they also rent paddle boards.
-Go to Antler Bar and Grill for the Thursday and Friday night musical Bingo or Musical Trivia game times. Usually they start at 7:30PM and we always love their ocean perch dinners!!
