Welcome to where relaxation meets convenience! This cute small cottage is the perfect choice for a friends' trip, couples retreat, or family vacation. Walk only 1,000 feet to reach Sunset Lane Association Beach, a private association beach for the immediate neighborhood only that also allows dogs.
Located in the cute lakefront town of Lakeside, this ground-floor home is surrounded by beautiful trees and lush nature, offering a true 'get away from it all' feeling. Inside, an open floor plan seamlessly combines the living and dining areas and the well-appointed kitchenette. Snuggle up on any of the sofas by the wood-burning fireplace and stream a favorite movie or series on the smart TV. When mealtime comes around, the kitchenette will have your back with all the essential appliances needed to whip up everything, from full-course meals to quick snacks on the go. You can choose to dine indoors or delight yourself with nature in the outdoor dining area on the patio. There is a beautiful screened porch with comfortable seats that leads to the patio.
THINGS TO KNOW
There are four backpack beach chairs and an umbrella.
Streaming is available using your own accounts.
The fireplace is available in the non-summer months.
One non-aggressive, non-shedding 40 lb. dog allowed.
Kitchenette with a fridge, apartment-size stove and oven, microwave, and coffee maker. No dishwasher.
This property is managed by Vacasa Michigan LLC.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out.
