Cozy Lake Michigan Cottage Winter Retreat

Perfect winter time escape! For a perfect winter vacation, Curl up with a book or movie while enjoying the lake view, go to the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex for ice skating, cross country skiing, sledding hills, luging and hockey. Find Secret Lake on a winter walk through the wood at Muskegon State Park. Prepare a meal or bake with our well equipped kitchen, don't forget the hot coco!

THE SETTING
The pristine shores of Lake Michigan. Sunshine, soft sand, warm air, the light droning sound of boats on the water. You enjoyed swimming, boating, bicycling, reading, walking the dog, the amusement park or just relaxing earlier that day. You're sitting on your provided beach chair watching the magnificent sunset with your beverage of choice. You start to smell a smoky aroma, but you cannot tell if it is the grill or a bonfire on top of the bluff; to your delight it is both! After you enjoy some time by the fire, playing board games, or watching a movie you fall into your comfortable bed. You smile as you sleep knowing tomorrow is another lake day.

Perfect spot for a winter weather getaway, very close to the Winter sports complex. 4 stars only because the mattresses are in need of a serious upgrade.

Excellent Cabin on the Lake
This space was exactly as described, and right on Lake Michigan. Everything in the home was clean, in great shape, and comfortable. There's a bit of a drop to the lake, but the stairs that seem to be newly installed are sturdy and easy. Internet speed was good and the outdoor space was wonderful. A bit secluded from the main road, which once you know the driveway, is very nice.

Loved the place. Extremely clean and well appointed. Everything worked well and there was ice made in the freezer. Something other places often forget to check. We stay in the often very often to visit our children from out of state and this was our favorite place to stay.

December Anniversary Stay
We could write a pamphlet on how terrific this place is and the hostess as well. You make your own list, it checks out at 100% for everything. We've rented a lot of places, mostly at the Jersey shore. This place ranks #1. The attention to detail in decorating, furnishing, kitchen, appliances, I could go on. It was absolutely incredible. Now, the beach access, once again, 100%. Steps to the beach were amazingly sturdy and safe and the chairs and fire pits provided was an added touch (it was 10 degrees and 30 mile winds which made for a brisk walk on the beach but we took a pass on the fire. What a way to spend our 40th anniversary.

The cottage is so cute, fresh, and well-appointed. I haven't slept this well in a long time! Perfect place for a solo, contemplative retreat, but would be so much fun with a small family in summer. The beach is lovely.

Beautiful location on Lake Michigan. Walk the beach, enjoy a campfire on the beach or backyard, take advantage of a state or county park. Muskegon has great food, Grand Rapids is a wealth of options or drive north or south along the shore to experience towns big and small for more fun.

Great location!
It's all about the beach! This house would be ideal for a family with small children. We had four adults and the bunkbeds were not ideal, but since we mostly spent all of our time outside, it wasn't that big of a deal. Really great location, beautiful beach, love that we could have a fire on the beach. Lots of seating. Love it.

The location is fantastic. We love how close the beach is for taking morning walks and just sitting by the lake during the day. It is a little brisk for swimming but some days it is possible. We had a beautiful sunset each night. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Thank so much!

Cozy Cottage
We had a short stay as we explored Western Michigan. The cottage was a good home base for us as we played in Michigan. Positives: The Lake. Honestly if you want a cozy spot with the lake at your feet this place is for you. Our crazy boys loved diving in regardless of how cold it was 😆. Yard. Both the front and backyard gave more than adequate space for ours boys to play. The long driveway in the front got turned into a wiffle ball court. The backyard had a fire pit which was wonderful. I wouldn’t say the rest are negatives, but just awareness. The house is cozy… for us. We have a 10 year old boy and 6 year old boy and space is limited. We were glad that there was outside space. Master bedroom bed sunk in a bit towards the middle. Wasn’t terrible but we had just stayed at a hotel the night before where the bed was amazing so it was noticeable. Overall the trip was great.

Best rental ever
This is by far my favorite place I’ve ever rented via VRBO. The house itself is a perfect little cottage, and it was immaculately clean. I was here with my husband and our two dogs and we had the best time going to the beach every day. There is a yard as well and a little deck out back. We cooked each day and grilled almost every night. The lake/beach is unbelievable and so beautiful. Check in /out was super easy. This is my dream house!!
