This is the backyard. It doesn’t get any closer. It doesn’t get any better. Take out the kayaks and enjoy a beautiful relaxing evening. The water levels for this day were low so we had a nice beach, but a beach is not guaranteed.

BEACH!, Lakefront Cottage, Huge Deck & Amazing Sunsets

UPDATE APRIL 2025: We have a nice beach. Water levels are down.
This is a family's dream vacation spot. Looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views of Lake Michigan? There is something for every member of the family. Private beach access. Listen to the waves right outside the windows as you rest comfortably in the Master Bedroom. The stairs go straight to the water! Relax with family and friends, while you make unforgettable memories. Large comfortable patio furniture on the deck. Hanging hammock chairs facing the lake. Sunbathe on the deck with your favorite drink, or watch the stars at night, keeping warm by the fire pit as the kids make s'mores. The kids can climb the sand dunes down the road for some fun and exercise. Closed-in giant sandbox with toys for kids. Enjoy the kayaks, paddleboards, and paddleboat on the big lake. Take long walks down the beautiful community beach road. Movie theatre, shopping and Michigan's Adventure is only minutes away. There is also an amazing bike trail in town with great small town restaurants and shops of all kinds to experience. One of our favorites places and a local gem is "The Book Nook" where you can bring your laptop and enjoy a coffee or meal made to order. This really is one of those hidden gems that very few know about. Our intention is that you have a 5 star experience. The only downside to staying at this cottage is you won't want to leave!

The Secret Place in Lost Vally

Had a fantastic week at this property. Owners were great to work with. Brand new 2 level deck with stairs directly into the Lake. Water was perfect and the evening sunset paddleboard right from the deck was great. Many amenities; gas grill, fire pit, 2 paddleboards, 2 kayaks. Access to Meindert State Park at end of the road. Beautiful house and location. Would recommend to any family looking for a fun and peaceful vacation.

Lovely Family Vacation Spot!

You just can't describe the lovely views from the deck! The house is very clean, great location - short walk to the beach at Meinert Park. We had a blast on the kayaks/paddle boards and used the wagon to haul our stuff to the beach. Mother nature definitely threw us some curves for our week here, but we loved playing games from the covered porch. We explored Montague and several other nearby towns. The property had plenty of space for our family and Dawn's communication is superb! Highly recommended for a low-key family vacation!

We very much enjoyed our two weeks! We spent most of our time on the beautiful deck. Things we loved about the rental: comfortable seating both inside and outside, comfortable beds, plenty of towels (including kitchen ones!), hearing the waves from wherever you were, beautiful sunsets, and having time to relax.

Amazing sunsets-Great louse layout

First, the home owners were super communicative up to and throughout our stay. There was a minor issue with one of the A/C units and they were right on top of it. Second, such a great layout for groups with lots of areas to spread out and the decks are beyond amazing! While the kitchen is small, it is decently stocked and having the second fridge and bar area in the lower area alleviated a lot of kitchen congestion. Great house! Beautiful sunsets!

Lake Michigan Gem

You can't get a more idyllic location. Updates throughout, while still maintaining the charm of vacation days past. So many places to hang out, but we just wanted to be out on the deck as much as possible! Sitting in a hammock watching a spectacular sun set is the best. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves is so relaxing. House is immaculately clean. Hosts are so welcoming. Beaches to walk to in both directions - loved climbing the dunes. A perfect summer getaway!

Cozy cottage on the lake with the best views, fabulous location, excellent hosts

This getaway was just what our family needed. Dawn could not have been more communicative and accommodating wherever needed. The cottage is right on the lake, it felt very private, and the double deck was amazing for adults and children alike. My parents, my husband and infant, and my sister's family including two elementary school aged boys stayed here for about a week. We had ample space to socialize as well as go off to get some alone time. The lower floor with two bedrooms and showered was like a separate residence for my sister's family, it was the perfect arrangement. We hope to stay here again. My mother, in particular, who is going through treatment for GBM, had the most memorable time, and that was our primary goal.

Hidden Gem!

I almost don't want to say anything about how beautiful it is along this stretch of Lake Michigan so people will not want to go there, but the fact is that it is amazing. It's hard to explain how magical it is there, really. The 'Lakefront Beach Resort' was retro, but not rundown, and very clean and well-appointed. The hosts even provided a thoughtful and delicious welcome basket. Just a short drive to Montague/Whitehall, and the Silver Lake Dunes, Muskegon, Pentwater, and Ludington are not too much farther away. Nice, reasonably priced golf course nearby, too. Just a heads up that when they say the cell service is rough, they absolutely mean it (Verizon). All in all, we'd highly recommend a stay!

This place is just WOW!!!

We sooooo enjoyed our stay! You won’t find a better place to enjoy sunsets every single night! The communication with the owner is phenomenal. The house is clean, spacious, has very comfortable mattresses, and you have every kitchen essential you will need and more! All seven of us took baths/showers in a row one night and we never ran out of hot water. The double deck is an outdoor oasis with shaded seating, lounge chairs for the sun, table with chairs and umbrella for enjoying eating outdoors, fire pit, grill, Adirondack chairs and my grandsons’ favorite - a sandbox with awesome toys! My grown sons enjoyed kayaking every single day. We made a short walk to the beach and enjoyed playing in the water and sand. This is a place we would love to come back to every summer!

Disappointing

The A/C was substandard. The house was smaller than anticipated. Main dining area was in the sunroom and cramped. The lower floor was musty smelling and the whole house was really dated. We had 7 adults and 1 infant. Beds were adequate and linens were clean. Access to the beach was treacherous as you have to climb over sea wall comprised of giant rocks. . Lastly, you only have access to maybe 25% of the beach. Pay close attention to the property line and understand your being watched on the beach camera. The area and nearby town was great, restaurants and grocery are close. One more thing, only 1 curbside trash can.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 August 2024
Hi Charles. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Some of the things you mentioned we will be sure to make better but some of the things you mentioned are simply beyond our control. Being that we almost lost the cottage to rising waters a few years ago we had to install large rocks to save our home. When the lake levels are high, like it was this year, the rocks are more exposed and it is more difficult to access, which is what you experienced. The lake is very unpredictable. Some years we have a nice large beach and some years we don’t. We always hope for the best for our renters. Regarding the condition of the cottage, it was built in 1978. It has a retro,cottage, cozy feel, which so many of our renters appreciate.The AC: This cottage went 40 years with no AC and simply depended on fresh lake air to cool it off. However over the past few years the temp has gotten warmer. We tried to install central air but the house is not built for it so we did the second best and installed 2 split units, one upstairs and one downstairs. The extra standing fans help. The camera: we value our renters privacy. We have a camera facing the lake to keep an eye on lake levels and safety of our home. There are times when renters are on our neighbors private property so we have to keep an eye on it to keep the peace with neighbors. The Garbage: We did order another garage can. So there will no longer be an issue with not enough garbage space. Thank you for your review.
