About this property

Beachfront Cottage On Lake Michigan! Great Views, Private Setting, Relaxing Days

Experience Lake Michigan the way it used to be! Lovingly restored 1930s beachfront cottage, located in a quiet residential area. The cottage sits on a wooded double lot nestled on a dune facing Lake Michigan. There is a private stairway leading to nearly 140 feet of private beach*.

Escape from the hustle-bustle of everyday life. Disconnect from technology and reconnect with your family, friends, or yourself. Take long walks on the beach, enjoy the water, build sand castles, bring bikes to ride along the trails. On rainy days, watch the storm blow across the lake, be amazed by the lightning show or take the opportunity to play board games, read or explore nearby Grand Haven. At night, appreciate the thousands of stars in the sky or enjoy a campfire in the include Solo Stove on the deck.

Just 6 miles south of Grand Haven but a world away. Wake up to the sound of birds and sip coffee while watching boats sail by, enjoy sunset dining in the comfort of the screened in porch or on the outside patio deck, then fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

*NOTE: After the high water levels, our beach is coming back and, we have re-built stair access to the beach from the cottage. The views from the cottage are fantastic as well as the sunsets.

The Cottage offers free Wi-Fi, a newly renovated kitchen, coffee maker, stove, microwave, refrigerator, and pantry area. Beach umbrellas, Beach towels, and beach chairs are also a part of your rental.

Indoor dining area features banquette seating. A charming antique walnut table is perfect for family meals or a game of Scrabble.

Sleeps 4 comfortably. There is 1 bedroom with a double bed and a sofa in the living room that converts to a queen-size bed.

The cabin includes a bathroom with a shower stall. There is also an outdoor shower, with tempered water, adjacent to the outside deck, ideal for rinsing off before entering the cottage.

Gas BBQ grill on the outside deck allows for grilling. Solo bonfire stove on the deck for S'mores or the joy of a campfire at night. Savor the great Lake view and one-of-a-kind sunsets as you dine at the picnic table.

For other recreation, Kirk Park is 1/2 mile away with nice hikes and Pigeon Lake is a few miles south for putting in boats and/or kayaks. These are easily accessed via the bike trails that run directly in front of the entrance to our neighborhood.

**Please note there are a set of stairs from the parking area to the entrance of the cottage as well as stairs from the cottage to the beach. Additionally, please know this is a 1930's cottage and had a rustic nature to it. While we have made upgrades, it does have that old home charm and the nuances that come with it.

As this is in a neighborhood, we ask that you please respect the community quiet hours of 10:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m.

We believe you'll fall in love with the place and look forward to it being your getaway place at Lake Michigan.

We couldn’t have been happier with our week-long stay at the Miller Cottage. The house was clean, well-maintained, and so close to the water you could hear the crashing waves as you drifted to sleep at night. And the owner, Jason, was fantastic to work with. We love the place so much, our small family now makes sure to book a week there every summer!

This is a wonderful place to stay on Lake Michigan - everything you need and more! We love the history of the cottage and the personal touches throughout. We happened to be there during the "smoke-out" from wildfires in Minnesota and Canada, so were indoors more than we thought we would be....and it was fine! The mini-split was super effective at cooling and filtering the air without bringing in any outside smoke as a traditional ac unit would - super grateful for that! We will come back!

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful. It was easy to get to and even though there were neighbors it was quiet and peaceful. The view of the beach/lake couldn't be any better. It was nice to have beach chairs and towels already there so we didn't have to bring ours. This will definitely be on top of our list for next year. The place very clean!

The beach cottage was exactly what my soul was needing for a few days. We did visit late in the season and it was so quiet and peaceful. The cottage is quaint, very clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the back porch. Naps & reading. Or on the deck with a fire. The cottage had everything we needed and most importantly had the best location, tucked into a neighborhood but we felt completely alone, listening to the waves and watching the sunset!

Why they chose this property

This cottage was purchased by my grandfather upon his return from WWII in the 1940's. It is still in our family and several generations have enjoyed making memories here.

We treat it gently and with love, and ask you to do the same.
