“PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.”
Peaceful, remote, and serene describe this remarkable property located just minutes from downtown Grand Haven. Two hundred and sixty feet of private, seawall-protected Lake Michigan beachfront await you at the end of a winding, tree-lined drive throughout this wooded dune.
"Beautiful home with vintage cottage charm! We loved the many outdoor spaces to enjoy Lake Michigan. Very peaceful and private."
Ellen R.
INSIDE THE HOME
The main floor features a spacious living and dining area with plenty of options to gather together or break away for quiet conversation. Step out to the roomy, attached lake facing screened porch for your morning coffee or cozy up in the evening to watch the famous Lake Michigan sunsets. Plan your daily meals in the roomy kitchen and step out to the second attached screened porch where you will find plenty of room to serve everyone at the spacious farmhouse dining table. A convenient main floor bedroom with a full bed and separate full bath complete this floor.
Wander upstairs where you will find a lake-facing bedroom with two twins, a bunk room with one set of twin bunks and an additional twin bed, and a fabulous master bedroom with a king bed, twin daybed, half bath, and amazing private sundeck overlooking the shoreline. An additional full bath completes this floor.
* Please note, this home does not have a washer/dryer on site. There is no air conditioning, but the lake breeze is cooler in the evening. The fire place is purely decorative and not for guest use. *
THE LOCATION
Step outside to enjoy the day lounging in the sunshine on your remote stretch of sandy beach. Rent kayaks or paddleboards locally and explore the shoreline at your own pace. Keep an eye out for local deer who occasionally wander from the wooded dune to the lake for a refreshing drink of water.
Retreat to the cottage after a day in the sun and plan a barbecue on the side deck or take a short drive to nearby Grand Haven/Spring Lake and enjoy local pubs or fine dining. Treat everyone to ice cream, walk along the channel and watch the boats travel by. Plenty of retail therapy options can be found as well in this bustling resort town.
Once back at your retreat wind down the evening with a fire in the new Solo Stove while making plans for your next day’s adventures.

REVIEWS
"Perfect place for a family gathering. The home was set back from the road quite a bit which gave us the rustic feel we were looking for. You cannot beat the views and the sunsets were glorious!"
Thomas F.
"My friends and I had a wonderful time during our girls trip! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a semi secluded getaway. Loved the privacy of our own beach and it was super easy to drive into town when we wanted!"

About the area
Grand Haven, Michigan, is a picturesque lakeside community that beckons with its stunning natural beauty, charming downtown, and friendly atmosphere. Known as "Coast Guard City, USA," this idyllic town on the shores of Lake Michigan is a perfect blend of beach fun, cultural experiences, and outdoor adventures.
The crown jewel of Grand Haven is its expansive beachfront, with soft golden sands that invite sunbathers, volleyball players, and sandcastle builders alike. The Grand Haven State Park is a popular spot, offering a clean, well-maintained beach and a pier that leads to the iconic red lighthouse, a beacon for photographers and sunset watchers.
For those who love the water, Grand Haven's coastline is ideal for swimming, boating, and fishing. The boardwalk along the harbor is a scenic route for a leisurely stroll, with the opportunity to watch boats glide by or to stop at one of the many ice cream shops or eateries along the way.
The town's historic downtown is a treasure trove of boutique shops, art galleries, and restaurants. The streets come alive with festivals and events throughout the year, including the famous Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival, which celebrates the town's maritime heritage with parades, fireworks, and ship tours.
Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to explore beyond the beach. The Rosy Mound Natural Area offers hiking trails through forested dunes, leading to secluded beaches and stunning views of Lake Michigan. The nearby Hofma Preserve and Pigeon Creek Park provide additional trails for hiking, biking, and in the winter, cross-country skiing.
For family fun, the Tri-Cities Family YMCA and Mulligan's Hollow Skate Park offer activities for all ages, while the Grand Haven Musical Fountain provides nightly shows of water, light, and music that captivate audiences.
Grand Haven's culinary scene is a delightful mix of casual lakeside dining, cozy coffee shops, and fine cuisine. Fresh, locally-sourced ingredients are a staple here, with an emphasis on the region's bountiful fruit and the catch from the lake.
In essence, Grand Haven is a destination that offers a peaceful retreat with the warmth of a small-town community, coupled with the attractions and amenities of a larger city. Whether you're seeking relaxation on the beach, an active outdoor adventure, or a stroll through a vibrant downtown, Grand Haven is a place that truly has something for everyone.
