Make lasting summer memories at this fabulous lakefront cottage on all sports Portage Lake and the Pinckney Chain of Lakes.
Recently renovated down to the studs with top of the line finishes throughout, this year round lake front home has everything you need to make your vacation a relaxing getaway.
Step outside and enjoy the sound of the water lapping the seawall, enjoy the shallow sandy bottom stretching for hundreds of feet, take a kayak out or rent a boat from nearby Wonderland Marine and dock right out front.
Sunshine cottage offers an open concept kitchen, living and dining room plus a bonus sun room all with excellent views of the lake.
Outside you will find tons of space as the home sits on a rare to find double lakefront lot with over 75 feet of lakefront. Enjoy kayaks (2 adult, 1 child), a dock, a sea wall, a firepit, Adirondack chairs and lounge chairs for guest use. The water directly off the sea wall and dock is shallow for hundreds of yards in front of the cottage making it ideal for playing, lounging and splashing on a hot summer day!
The first floor consists of a kitchen, living room, dining room, sun room, bedroom (with two twin beds), a full bathroom (toilet, shower, pedestal sink and mirror), and a laundry room (washer/dryer).
The kitchen has a french door refrigerator, gas stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, cooking utensils, silverware, plates, cups, bowls, and all the items you need to cook a memorable meal. The kitchen island is large and has room to seat 4 comfortably. A grill is located on the patio facing the lake that can be used for cooking (grilling utensils are in the kitchen).
The living room has a couch, television, small coffee table and media cabinet.
The Sunroom has a couch that pulls out into a queen bed (Sleeps 2).
The dining room has a table and chairs for 4.
The second floor consists of a master suite including a queen bed, dresser, desk and half bath (with toilet and sink/vanity).
Please note: the home is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. There is one step down from the parking area to get to the house. There are 2 steps up to get inside the home from both the front and back doors and there is a staircase inside the home to get to the second floor. Outside there is a step down from land to get onto the dock and to get into the water from the dock there is a ladder down into the water at the end of the dock.

Thank you so much for staying at Sunshine Cottage, we are so glad you enjoyed your time and had everything you needed for a perfect stay! We would love to host you again anytime!
This property was the perfect place for us to spend a week with our kids while they did summer camps in the area. The house has been beautifully updated and had everything we needed. The owners met us at the property, showed us around and were always available to answer any questions we had. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for meals. We used the kayaks at the property and had a great time checking out the lake. We would definitely stay again.
