About this property

Drift Away At Lake Michigan

This Lake Michigan Beach cottage is the perfect place to relax and drift away! Enjoy beautiful views of Lake Michigan from the cottage or swimming and kayaking in the pristine water. At the end of the day there's nothing like relaxing, just watching the spectacular sunsets over the lake.

The cottage is located between Ludington and Muskegon, in Oceana County. Less than 10 miles from a major highway, we are off the beaten path in a private association of homes and cottages.

Features of the cottage include a screen room where you can lounge. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outside shower. The interior of the home has two bedrooms, a living and dining area, full kitchen, a bath and a half.

The property enjoys a lower bluff and includes 100 feet of private beach. We have approximately 30 steps down to the dunes, then 300 feet to the beach area. Use of three kayaks are included with your rental stay.

The Drift Away cottage on Lake Michigan is ready for those who would treat this home as their own. Your vacation awaits, just start the online reservation process.

Why they chose this property

It has always been our dream to purchase a property on Lake Michigan to enjoy with our family. In the fall of 2015 we were able to. Now we have the opportunity to share it with you and your family.

What makes this property unique

We have 100' of Lake Michigan frontage. We have about 30 steps and 300' to the beach. We have a 12' by 14' screen porch to enjoy outdoor living. The parking is right outside the front door with room for three cars in our driveway.

In 2019 we installed air conditioning and replaced the flooring.

In 2018 we replaced all of the windows and exterior doors.

In the spring and early summer of 2016 we updated the bathrooms and bunk room to put our touch on the cottage. We have added new furnishings to all of the rooms to make your stay comfortable.
