About this property

Cozy Cottage Right on Whitmore Lake

It's a cozy cottage that was just renovated in 2021! In this cottage you feel like you went back to the 50's in a well preserved cottage located right on the water. The renovation was done to keep the original cozy feel while adding new amenities. The sandy beach makes this rustic home the perfect place to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet, disconnect from the world. Enjoy a good nights sleep in one of the 3 new queen beds. Close to the restaurants and bars of this lake community.

Cozy cottage

We enjoyed our stay on Whitmore Lake! We found great restaurants in the area. The lake was fun for kayaking and fishing. The cottage had everything we needed for a romantic getaway weekend. The hosts even provided a bottle of wine for our anniversary!

Great find !!

We loved our stay at Whitmore Lake. Julie’s cottage is beautifully renovated. So tasteful, but left a little of the ambience of the original structure. The location is fantastic and the view from the porch is unforgettable. We had swans visit us every morning.. Don’t hesitate to book the cottage.

Thank you Mark! We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage and noticed that we tried to keep some original aesthetic while giving it modern amenities. And the porch is my favorite place as well! Please come again soon!

Excellent for Visiting UM Fans

We had tickets for the game and everywhere in Ann Arbor was super expensive (or already booked) that weekend. Cozy Cottage was perfect; comfortable, clean, and 35 minutes from the stadium. We also ate at nearby restaurants and avoided the crazy busy Ann Arbor places. Our hosts responded quickly to emails and messages via the app. I recommend!

We loved our stay at this cozy cottage. We were in town for a Michigan football game and it was an easy drive to and from Ann Arbor. We loved coming back from the game and playing in the sand, and relaxing by the fire pit. We enjoyed our coffee on the screened in porch with the beautiful view of the lake (and swans and ducks). Cottage is nicely updated and still charming. Perfect for our family of 4 (with 2 littles - age 2 and 4). Communications with Julie were great as well. We’d love to be back.

About the host

Host profile image
We love sharing this cottage, as it was purchased for our family of 4, but life doesn't allow us to be out here all the time so we enjoy sharing it.

Why they chose this property

We have family on the lake and also love the closeness to our home in Saline, MI.

What makes this property unique

It is a true cottage. And a perfect spot for our family to enjoy lake life.
