Cozy Retro Lakefront Cottage near Lake Michigan

Welcome to Duna Lorne!

Duna Lorne is a charming retro inspired cottage nestled on the sandy shores of Saint Mary’s Lake, a peaceful inland lake perfectly located between Pentwater and Ludington. Just 15 minutes from the beaches of Lake Michigan, this cozy retreat blends mid century modern charm with modern comfort for a relaxed and memorable stay.

Bedrooms
The cottage features two inviting bedrooms, each designed for comfort and relaxation. Both bedrooms include an additional heat source, mounted TV, mirrors, blackout curtains, overhead fans, and luggage racks.

The primary bedroom offers a queen bed and an electric fireplace, creating a warm and cozy space to unwind at the end of the day. It also includes a full length mirror and a sound machine for restful nights.

The second bedroom features a full bed and peaceful lake views, perfect for slow mornings and relaxing evenings.

Bathroom
A full bathroom is conveniently located between the two bedrooms and includes a removable shower head, soaps, towels, a hairdryer, and a compact sink.

Main Living Areas
When you walk in, you are greeted by a bright dining room that sets the tone for the home’s playful retro vibe. The dining table seats six, and a daybed with trundle provides extra sleeping space, ideal for kids or additional guests. The laundry area is also located in this room.

Barn doors open into the main living area where you will find a cozy couch, board games, a temperature controlled gas fireplace, and a fully stocked retro kitchen featuring a simple retro style oven. The space is perfect for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying time together.

The home includes a mini split system for both air conditioning and heat, along with WiFi.

Outdoor Living
Step outside and enjoy true lakefront living. The patio faces the lake and includes a table and chairs for outdoor meals with a view. There is direct lake access right in front of the property with a sandy bottom lake that is ideal for swimming and play. After a day on the water, rinse off using the outdoor shower hose hookup.

In the evenings, gather around the fire pit with chairs for cozy nights under the stars or to watch the sunset over the lake.

The property was adorable and very well furnished. The directions to find and enter the home were very clear. It was very peaceful and a great location for a little get away but close to both Ludington and Pentwater.

We had an amazing time at Dina Lorne! The house has a fun retro look with a beautiful lake view. We had one issue come up and the response time to our message was very fast! This is a 10 out of 10, we are already talking about booking it for next summer!
