Enjoy sitting around the campfire making s'mores and telling stories after a relaxing day at the beach and an exciting day of adventure. Ride and explore the dunes and hike the trails a few short miles away with Mac Wood's. Bike to your hearts content on the Hart-Montague Bike Trail, one of the longest in the state! Tour a local dairy farm and taste some of the best ice cream, cheese and milk on the planet. Farm markets boast local produce all season, including apples, cherries, peaches, berries, and vegetables.

Fantastic
The beach walk was easy as can be! Just a quick stroll across the street leads to a deck with seating - perfect for watching sunsets and access to the beach for lounging and swimming. Close to Stoney Lake, and Silver Lake. Nice open area living space with two private bedrooms. It had everything we needed. Everyone we met from the community was really friendly too!

Lovely Beach Getaway
Kind and caring hosts. Always responded quickly. Very clean and comfortable. Great room even nicer than pics.It was like our hosts could read our thoughts because everything we needed was there! So close to the gorgeous beach! We also enjoyed watching the sunset with kind neighbors, visiting local farms and dairies and bakery, biking, canoeing, go carting and playing mini golf! We are grateful for a wonderful stay !

Always a nice stay
We've stayed here several times and it's always everything we need for a great week at the lake in our favorite area of West Michigan. The cottage is stocked with supplies, appliances, and little extras that make staying there super convenient. We loved watching the wildlife, taking walks through the association to see the sweet little fairy/gnome houses and enjoyed the extra large beach this year.
