We spent a lot of summers in Pentwater when the children were younger in rental cabins around Bass Lake close to Lake Michigan. So, when a property became available on Lake Michigan we snatched it up and are really happy that we did.
This beach house combines the best features of the ideal beach house - wonderful Lake Michigan view, private beach at bottom of stairs from lake side deck, hiking trails through the surrounding woods, within a half mile (walking distance) of the charming New England like village of Pentwater (no traffic lights) with a smaller lake, Pentwater Lake, that invites the sailors who do not want to brave Lake Michigan. Our private beach adjoins Mears State to the south.
One of the features that we really liked was that the the Living room has an 8'x10' picture window that affords a great view of Lake Michigan, the flower boxes on the deck railings and the humming birds that feed on the flowers.
The lake side deck has two umbrellas to provide shade from the sun in the afternoon and evening. A 9" long rustic dining table on the deck can seat 8 people comfortably. For general get-togethers there is a bench attached to the deck railings that can seat additional people.
The patio features a gas grill for those who enjoy grilled steaks, chicken, fish and other game.
Parking is available on our driveway close to the house and also just off the road to the left of the driveway.
