About this property

The cottage is in Oceana County, about two miles south of Stony Lake.
The cottage is far off the nearest road, with a private sandy beach. The lake bottom is also sandy--no rocks or stones.
We have 200 feet of frontage on Lake Michigan. The lake level is down so we have a wider beach than in previous years. However, we still ask that there be no beach fires in order to keep the beach looking clean. There is a portable fire pit close to the cottage which is perfect for gathering around.
The cottage is in a rural area which keeps it quiet. The nearest store is 2 miles away in Stony Lake.
The cottage is fully booked for the 2023 season. We are not able to accept any more reservations. Please check back with us after Labor Day 2023 for 2024 availability.
(Please note: Cottage is closed for the winter between mid-October and mid-May. Rental period is from Saturday to Saturday.)

Perfect getaway

Jim did a great job with answering our questions quickly and checking in to see if we needed anything throughout our stay. The property is nestled back off busy roads, in the woods, right on the water. Easy access to the beach and wonderful views of the water right from the zero gravity recliners on the porch! The breeze through the house kept it cool day and night. The only problem we had was with the fruit flies. My husband, 2 dogs, and I will absolutely be back!

Amazing cottage on the lake

Beautiful cottage on the lake, private, secluded and amazing. The view is simply beautiful and worth every penny to stay here. Cottage does have wifi and a small tv if needed, we were there this past week and the beach was amazing and the water was cold but still had a blast!
