NICE SIZED BEACH THIS YEAR FOR 2023! This is a family's dream vacation spot. Looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views of Lake Michigan? There is something for every member of the family. Private beach access. Listen to the waves right outside the window and in the bedroom while you rest. The stairs go straight to the water! Relax with family or friends and make unforgettable memories. Large comfortable patio furniture on the deck. Hanging hammock chairs facing the lake. Sunbathe on the deck with your favorite drink, or watch the stars at night by the fire pit. Kids can climb the dunes down the road for some fun and exercise. Closed-in giant sandbox with toys for kids. Take long walks down the beautiful community beach road. Movie theatre and shopping is only minutes away. There is also an amazing bike trail in town with great small town restaurants and shops of all kinds to experience. One of our favorites places and a local gem is "The Book Nook" where you can bring your laptop and enjoy a coffee or meal made to order. This really is one of those hidden gems that very few know about. Our intention is that you have a 5 star experience. The only downside to staying at this cottage is you won't want to leave!
