Welcome to the Painted Porch Cottage, a garden-style cottage in residential Lakeside, Michigan. Fully equipped, this rustic cottage is just two blocks from a private sandy beach. When you aren't playing in the sand, a short car ride will lead you to numerous antique stores, farmers markets, wineries, u-pick farms, outdoor recreation rentals, and delicious dining options.
Inside the Painted Porch Cottage, the cozy ambiance is abundant! The bright living room offers a lovely space to sit and watch TV. Steps away, the quaint kitchen provides a pleasant space to play chef and dine with your loved ones. When you aren't eating here, the charming dining room is perfect for family-style meals.
Additional hangout spaces include the screened-in porch and the grassy yard with a barbecue grill. Before crawling under the bedroom's quilts, throw your swimsuits in the private washer/dryer for a refresh, and tune the central air-conditioning to your liking. WiFi access and an after-beach outdoor shower round out the cottage's perks.
