Peaceful Cottage on Lake Michigan

Spring is here at our peaceful cottage on the Lake Michigan shoreline!

Just a short drive of under 5 minutes to access the Point Beach State Forest with miles of walking trails, well maintained bike trails and rustic ice age trails.
Cottage is a 7-mile short trip to Two Rivers through the forest to the grocery, restaurants, and groomed beaches.

The cottage is always very well maintained, we keep the place top notch clean and always try to provide the needed essentials for your stay. Including a food pantry with essentials and snacks. And a stocked refrigerator with all unopened new essentials for your stay. Bathroom is stocked as well with towels and all cleaning essentials.

The cottage is set back down a long blacktop driveway from a low traffic road and is one of the last few true quiet places around that will provide a wonderful relaxing stay all to yourselves. With the large yard overlooking the lake you will be able enjoy everything it has to offer while BBQing, having a outdoor picnic, outdoor games, and our new addition for this year a propane fire pit on the back deck.

All we ask is that you try to keep the place clean and have a great time! There is no hidden fees or cleaning fees or chores to do except wash your dishes before leaving.

We really hope to have you as our guest at our peaceful cottage on Lake Michigan!

Amazing place - if you enjoy the quiet of the waves and wind in the pines. 10 minutes from town, across the street from lots of trails. Great place to relax, disconnect from phone/internet and VACATION.

Peaceful getaway

This is the perfect place to rest and relax! The cottage is beautiful, clean and well-kept. It is in the perfect location! We had a great time exploring the nearby trails and beaches. The owners do an awesome job of communicating. Couldn't ask for a better first time Vrbo experience! We hope to be back for another stay soon!

Quiet, peaceful and cozy

This place was amazing! Better than what we expected. The cottage was clean and cozy, they have a really nice fireplace that is perfect for the colder nights. Levi messaged us right away when we booked through Vrbo making sure we knew exactly where we were going and to see if we had questions. We will definitely come here again summer time so we can enjoy the beach area more!

Our New Favorite Vacation Spot

A spotless, comfortable, beautifully decorated cabin in the woods, leading to a very private Lake Michigan beach. Thoughtful and delightful added touches that included man drinks, snacks, food staples, toiletries and entertainment. Especially loved the delicious coffee, arcade,bikes, yoopers, an eagle soaring past at sunrise and enjoying the music of our youth. Not enough room to fully describe but hope to return! Thanks for a perfect getaway! Roy and Jean

This property is Amazing!

This cottage delivered on all aspects. The photos are true to the property. This is the best of both worlds, woods and water! It is so clean and comfortable. I have never encountered a host who stocked the fridge and pantry. So very thoughtful. We booked 3 nights but wished we had booked more. We spent one day at Lambeau, a super easy drive if you are going to a gamee but want more than a hotel room. We will definately do this again. This would be incredible whatever time of the year you chose. Also the coffee is so delicious! 10 out of 10!

Highly recommend this beautiful getaway!!

We can’t even begin to say how much we enjoyed our relaxing stay at this beautiful property. It was so nice from start to finish. The hosts were extremely fast and helpful with communication. They offered us to check in early and check out late. The view of Lake Michigan through the pine trees was amazing. The sound of the waves, the lovely beach. Nice trails. The property was well maintained and very clean. All of the amenities were such an extra as well. Snacks, beverages, and even a birthday dessert for my husband. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace, outdoor propane fire, and even played video games and rode the bikes We plan to visit again next year!

Wonderful Experience

This is the first time we had stayed at a vacation rental, and this property and the whole experience provided by the host far exceeded our expectations! The cottage is modern, super clean and thoughtfully well stocked, as well as being perfectly located - far enough to be secluded but close enough for a short drive to Two Rivers. The pictures don't do justice to the gorgeous beach stretch and the lovely forest trails you can walk. One thing to note: mobile data on T-Mobile network can be a bit spotty but workable, and there is no wifi. This wasn't an issue for us, but just wanted to mention for any future guests. We can't speak highly enough of the hosts - Russ and Levi were fantastic with communication both before our trip and during, answering all our questions. Thank you guys for providing us this wonderful place to enjoy our anniversary getaway!

Wow! We loved our stay at the cottage. Amazing stay near a state park with Lake Michigan frontage, we were able to hike in nearby woods or walk on the beach each day. This is also one of the best stocked rentals I've ever stayed in - everything we needed in the kitchen, ample towels, games and movies. We definitely will be back for another weekend getaway.

The cottage is a great place to getaway and enjoy the sandy beach, pine trees, beautiful surroundings. Experience peace, the sounds of nature, and wildlife from the deck outside the kitchen or the picnic spot closer to the shore. Inside the cottage is wonderful also with well equipped spacious kitchen, vaulted ceiling, games, many essentials and extras provided. Feels like a home away from home.

This was either our 3rd or 4th time staying here. We love this place! The property owners / mangers are the best - they have the place fully stocked for you - even providing some eggs, drinks, milk and bread. Plus, they roast their own coffee beans which they also provide for your stay and it’s our favorite coffee now.We love how private this property is. We were able to watch all the wildlife that’s around this property. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and getaway from everything then you need to stay here.

Wow! What an amazing place! I highly recommend it. The house, the hosts, and the surroundings were absolutely the best. The house was very clean and comfortable. Everything was labeled to help with the layout. And they had maps and ideas to help navigate the area. Perfect place for my husband and I. Everything we needed and then some! The hosts went above and beyond. I’ve never rented a Vrbo where the hosts left fresh groceries! ( and fresh roasted coffee!) It was so thoughtful and appreciated. And such an easy and relaxed check in and checkout. They thought of everything. The area/surroundings were amazing! We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. We walked for miles back and forth along the lakeshore. Took some hikes in the forest. Did some bird watching, saw some bald eagles! So peaceful and relaxing. Thank you to the hosts for sharing such a gem! And for going above and beyond with all the thoughtful extras! It was a blessing to spend our anniversary there! And we will be back!

We absolutely loved our weekend stay here! The property was clean and the inside was clean and well stocked with anything you could want. The only thing to note is there is no wifi and we had poor cell service. It was not a big deal because that was our reason to get away. We enjoyed bringing our kayaks to the beach and ebiking to different towns! Would and will be back again!

About the host

Why they chose this property

This is a original cottage that was abandoned in a pine forest for years. As a family project it took 10 years to fully rebuild the entire place back to a beautiful cottage overlooking Lake Michigan. It is hunkered down near the water in a large forest area with a safe 400 foot blacktop driveway. It is a peaceful couple's retreat where time has no meaning and relaxing and decompressing is found on the beautiful property that is away from all city noise, neighbors on the quiet estate.

What makes this property unique

The property features a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, with walking trails that go down the beach. The estate is located inside the Raur West School Forest and boasts up to 10 miles of walking trails right from the front yard! the trails take you through sand dunes, a large natural spring pond, and a 300 foot wooden boardwalk are just some of the exciting things to see on your travels. The cottage is well stocked with supplies, has a large wine table and opener, so just relax and take in your quiet surroundings and enjoy the great outdoors!
