About the host
Hosted by Jen
Hi, I'm Jen. We've been coming to Montague and Whitehall for the past 25 years and hope you enjoy our cottage as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
There's so much to do outside we always wish we had another day to the weekend! We love to bike to Country Dairy (about 22 miles round-trip from town) for ice cream and fabulous cheeseburgers or go to Pekadill's for the best deli sandwiches, soup and more ice cream : ) We also enjoy getting out on the water with our kayaks or just relaxing on the beach.
What makes this property unique
What I love about the cottage location is being able to walk to Lake Michigan! You're just minutes from quiet, sandy beaches and gorgeous sunsets. On windy days you can hear the Lake Michigan waves crashing on the shoreline! There's lots of wildlife around and the area has a small town, up north, laid back feel.
