Lakefront Beach Resort,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 Magic of Montague

We absolutely loved our stay at Dawn and Breck’s cottage on Lake Michigan! We all had an excellent time and was able to spend quality time with family and friends!! The night of meteor showers, northern lights, sunset and moon set was a special bonus! Thank you guys for sharing your awesome place!

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.

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!

Life is better at the lake!

Lost Valley is a hidden gem! From the calming sounds of the waves to the amazing sunsets and star gazing after dark, the cottage has everything you need to enjoy all the beauty Lake Michigan has to offer. Our family loved spending lazy afternoons on the large deck and taking dips in the lake from the cottage’s private beach. Thanks for sharing this slice of heaven!

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!

The Good Place

What a good place to gather with family after more than a year and half of separation due to the pandemic. My family came from CA, TX and VA to have a small reunion - just the 4 of us. Even though the August weather was not the best, it did not stop us from enjoying everything the Good Place has to offer. The Welcome basket with fruit, snacks and wine was greatly appreciated. The beds were comfy, there was plenty of space, hot water and towels. And so many windows from which to watch the storm dance across the Lake. The only complaint we had was that our stay was too short. We look forward to staying here again. Dawn and Breck are fabulous hosts who anticipate just about all of your needs. Thank you for helping us come together for what was a major life event.

Great relaxing week

My family and I had a great time on vacation at the cabin. My son loved the sandbox and we utilized the paddle boards and kayaks many times throughout the week. Our favorite part was the sunsets on the decks. We all had plenty of space to relax and not feel like we were all on top of each other all week. We had great day trips to breweries, a dairy farm and petting zoo. Dawn was super helpful in her recommendations and very responsive! We would definitely come back!

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!
