About this property

Lakefront getaway near Sleeping Bear Dunes

Escape to Platte Lake Cottage, a charming lakefront retreat on Big Platte Lake in Beulah, Michigan. Located just 2 miles from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and scenic M-22, this home offers the perfect mix of relaxation, outdoor adventure, and classic up-north charm.

Set on a small bluff with expansive views of crystal-clear Big Platte Lake, the cottage blends warm, rustic character with modern comfort. Spend your days paddleboarding, kayaking, relaxing on the covered patio, grilling dinner by the water, or gathering around the firepit at sunset. The property includes a private dock and a mooring buoy for storing a boat during your stay.

Inside, guests will find a fully stocked kitchen, smart TVs with Roku, high-speed internet, central air conditioning, books, board games, a washer and dryer, and two indoor gas fireplaces. Bed linens, bath towels, and kitchen towels are provided, along with a starter supply of basics for your arrival.

The cottage sleeps up to 8 guests and offers 2 parking spaces in front of the home, plus additional parking across the street. It’s an ideal home base for exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes, the Platte River, Platte Point Beach, Glen Arbor, Frankfort, Crystal Mountain, and the small-town charm of nearby Beulah.

Please note: no pets, no smoking, no parties or events, and quiet hours are 10pm–7am. The water near the end of the dock is shallow, so no jumping from the dock. Water shoes are recommended due to zebra mussels in the lake.

This property was the perfect getaway for our multigenerational group. The lake was very shallow near the dock, perfect for the little kids to play. The multitiered deck area offered lots of comfortable places for the adults to supervise and enjoy the view.The bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and accommodating. There were actually two sets of staircases leading upstairs. (A nice feature!) This allowed the early bird grandparents to head downstairs for a coffee in the morning without waking others. In addition to the three bedrooms, there was a large landing area upstairs, where the kids enjoyed playing games. This part of Northern Michigan can’t be beat. We enjoyed the dunes, all sorts of swimming, and several adorable beach towns nearby. We will be reminiscing on this wonderful experience for many years to come. Thanks for the great stay!
