Cottage on the Bluff - NEW Stairs to the Beach, Hot Tub & Unbeatable Sunsets!
Welcome to the Cottage on the Bluff!
Nestled on the scenic shores of Lake Michigan, this charming 1970s Chalet-style home offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views—perfect for a relaxing escape. Whether you’re hosting family and friends or sneaking away for a quiet getaway, the Cottage on the Bluff is magical year-round. Lounge on the wrap-around porch, unwind by the fire table, and soak in breathtaking sunsets over the lake. Exciting update: the property now features newly installed stairs providing easy access to the beach, making your lakeside experience even more enjoyable. With its blend of comfort and natural beauty, this home is the perfect spot for your next adventure!
Custom-built with cedar finishes inside and out, the Cottage features cathedral ceilings, cherry kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, and hardwood floors throughout, making it both cozy and inviting. The spacious, open layout is perfect for family gatherings, holiday meals, or quiet relaxation.
The cottage is just a 10-minute drive from both the north and south beaches and downtown, where you’ll find unique boutiques, charming restaurants, and a classic town theater. In winter, experience the quiet beauty of the area, or visit nearby attractions for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
Sleeping Arrangements:
The cottage sleeps 6 guests comfortably:
• Master Loft Suite: A king-size bed, private bathroom with a stand- up shower, and a cozy sitting area with a futon. The loft overlooks the living area and offers a serene view of the lake.
• 2nd Bedroom: A queen-size bed on the main floor.
• Living Room: Features a sleeper sofa for extra guests.
Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on the expansive porch while taking in breathtaking lake views and unbeatable sunsets. In the colder months, unwind in the hot tub or gather around the fire table for a cozy evening.
Winter and Holiday Specialties:
The Cottage on the Bluff is the perfect escape for a winter retreat or holiday celebration. Whether you’re cozying up by the fire, enjoying the peaceful winter landscape, or hosting a holiday gathering, this home offers a warm, inviting atmosphere to create lasting memories with your loved ones.
Note:
Due to the home’s remote location, phone service is limited, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable—making it the ideal spot for a true escape from the everyday. However, with a short walk down the driveway, you can find a phone signal if needed.
We look forward to welcoming you and helping you create lifelong memories!
