The space
Welcome to our Comfy Cottage! This is a warm, welcoming home built for easy, comfortable stays.

THE COMMON AREAS
An adorable picnic table and views of Lake Michigan welcome you as you make your way up the stairs to the front porch. Enjoy a meal or a book here, catching glimpses of the lake and hearing the soft sound of the waves. Head to the front door and feel instantly at home as you enter. The vibe is mid-century-modern meets classic lake cottage.

The main floor living area is bright with windows everywhere and an open living room that flows into the dining area and kitchen. Enjoy a movie on the new 65” smart TV, listen to a record on the retro sound system (or stream from your phone), or enjoy one of our many family board games around the table.

The kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need to create a delicious meal together. Take advantage of the Coffee & Tea Station, Cocktail Station, and small library of classic cookbooks.

The main level has two bathrooms- one full bath with bathtub and one half bath.

Out back just off the kitchen you find a perfect three season hangout spot in the screened-in porch. There’s additional dining space here for 10 or more and Adirondack chairs for lounging. The space overlooks the back yard with it’s beautiful towering trees, artistic fire ring area, gas grill, and of course that beautiful pool!

The heated pool opens during April each year and remains open at least until the start of October, and depending on the weather sometimes as late as mid-October.

There’s more spots for lounging and playing in the bright, daylit downstairs area. In the downstairs family room you’ll find a large sofa and TV with smart box. Located opposite is the Kids Corner with play area, craft table, and lots of toys, activities, & books for little ones. There’s also a lending library for adults and tons of board games for the whole family. A second full bath with shower and the spacious, clean laundry room are located just around the corner.

THE SLEEPING AREAS
There are three bedrooms on the main floor, one on the bottom level, and one located in a detached building just steps away from the main house.

Bedroom 1 features windows all around with beautiful views of the back yard, a king size bed, chest of drawers, and closet, plus an en-suite half-bath.

Bedroom 2 has a queen size bed, large dresser, and 2 closets. The full bathroom with tub is located just next to Bedrooms 2 and 3.

Bedroom 3 also has a queen size bed, dresser, and closet. The full bathroom with tub is located just next to Bedrooms 2 and 3.

Bedroom 4 Is located downstairs and features a large day lit window, two sets of twin bunk beds (4 beds total), drawers, and closet. The large downstairs full bath is just around the corner.

Bedroom 5 – “The Treehouse”. This unique bedroom is detached from the main house, located amidst the trees above the garage. The Treehouse is on the same elevation as the main floor of the main house. The room features 6 twin beds, a desk, drawers, and ample floor space. There is an adorable and effective electronic fireplace (no flame) that heats the space in the cold months. There is not central air conditioning in this room, however, due to it being well shaded and well insulated and having a ceiling fan and many opening screened windows, the room stays cool and comfortable all summer long. The nearest bathroom is located just a few steps away in the main house.
