Woodsy Lake House @ Lake Michigan Booking SuMMeR /walk in woods to Lake Michigan
Woodsy Winnetaska Cabin 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom....This summer cottage rents Sunday to Sunday.......Access to new DUNE HARBOR PARK....kayak heaven. This inviting and beautifully restored cottage is nestled in a private woodsy resort area known as Winnestaska. Short and easy path to Lake Michigan lookout. High bluff to view great sunsets and passing sea vessels. The cottage is in a super quiet super centrally located spot. Low Bluff access to swimming and park amenities is a quick drive or bike ride to Kruse Beach or Pere Marquette Beach 3-5 minutes away.
The house is surrounded by large trees and the quiet of the woods. A great house for a small family that wants to make more memories in a woodsy areas and discovering nature. Lots of windows and light - comfortable, furnished living room, dining rooms area, and eat in kitchen have wood floors and some carpet. The well appointed kitchen says, "Let's eat in," or grill outside. There are 2 bedrooms: Master with a King, Second Bedroom with separate beds for 3 and a boat toddler bed. The living room has a daybed with a trundle which can be 2 twins or make into a king for 2. Sleeps 7 plus toddler bed and pack and play. Rates based on 6. The bathroom sparkles with space and main floor laundry. Enjoy pleasant walks in the woods and savor breathtaking sunsets. Next to our neighborhood heading north is the Kruse Beach Park and then the Pere Marquette Park at Lake Michigan where there are wide sandy beaches, park play equipment, restaurants, the channel, WWII submarine, the trolly etc etc. Although it is in a secluded private are it is near many restaurants and shopping. Also this Winnetaska Woodsy Lake House is close to many exciting Muskegon locations: Heritage Landing, Muskegon Art Museum, Michigan Adventure Amusement & Waterpark (a Cedar Point Amusement Park), Naval Museum, Winter Sport Complex (with the new summer Luge) and best of all Lake Michigan!.
Vacation: Rates are based on 6 or less family members OR maximum for up to 8 people with an extra fee (7th and 8th incur $20 per day per person fee)
Small Family Discount is $200 off for 3 or less visitors.
Pet Policy:
ONE Dog small to medium is the limit.... for insurance reasons please note the breed or kind of dog because only some are permissible : A pet deposit is $250 and handled the same as house deposit (held and mailed pack after an ok from the cleaning staff generally within 14 days)—A pet requires a $40 per day fee which is due at check in—this allow for a change in plans. The fee is because we have to turn away families that are pet sensitive....pet owners are responsibility to remove, clean and tidy an evidence or the pet whether inside or out of either pet hair, waste, etc. Any cleaning in association with the dog there will be a deduction in the deposit.
