Charming Vintage Lake Michigan Retreat with Private Beach
Charming Vintage Lake Michigan Retreat with Private Beach
Step back in time and unwind at this classic vintage Lake Michigan getaway, a timeless four-bedroom, two-bath cottage nestled directly on the shores of Lake Michigan. This charming retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort, ideal for family vacations, romantic escapes, or peaceful getaways with friends.
*PLEASE NOTE THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE HEAT OR A/C
Inside, you'll find beautiful original beadboard walls and rich wood detailing that reflect the home's historic character, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The spacious living areas are thoughtfully furnished, offering cozy spots to relax after a day by the water.
Wake up to the sound of waves and end your days with breathtaking sunsets from the large screened-in porch, perfectly positioned to overlook the lake. Sip your morning coffee or evening wine while enjoying panoramic views in bug-free comfort.
Step outside and follow the stairs to your own private sandy beach, where you can swim, sunbathe, or simply relax with your toes in the sand. With direct lake access, you're just moments away from the ultimate beachside experience.
All single level there are 4 bedrooms to accommodate everyone in your group. The primary bedroom has a queen bed and attached bath complete with tub/shower. There is an additional bedroom with a full over twin trundle and separate twin bed, another guest room with a queen bed and the final bedroom offers 2 twin beds. These bedrooms share a full bath with tub/shower. A cozy and nostalgic living room provides plenty of space for all to gather and a dining area plus banquette create multiple dining areas. The best feature is the huge wrap around screened in porch - you will want to spend your days relaxing with the best view for miles.
