Prepare food and drinks in the newly remodeled and fully stocked gourmet kitchen designed for entertaining. A separate family room provides space to spread out. Three bedrooms each with private bath sleep up to 8 guests. A private basement bonus room has two futons and ping pong table.

Fantastic Trip

This is one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. Very clean and cozy and has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. Location on Lake MI is amazing. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for a few miles both directions . Sunsets were amazing. Owners were very responsive and helpful when we had questions. Looking forward to coming back for another vacation on the future!

Absolutely incredible!

I can’t say enough good things about this property! The house itself is classy, cozy, and extremely well stocked. They have everything you need! So many beach and bath towels, beach toys, chairs, toiletries, etc. And then the beach and the views were just breathtaking. You have plenty of private beach to enjoy, and the sunsets are incredible. Highly recommend this place!

Great place for a family gathering

The house is very spacious, with lots of beds. Kitchen is well-stocked (we cooked Thanksgiving dinner there), and the lake view is amazing. The weather was chilly, but we still enjoyed walks on the beach! Also had fun playing ping pong and using the hot tub.

Gorgeous sunsets

This location checked all the boxes! The layout was perfect for our family. We loved the location. Spent some time out in Silver Lake Sand Dunes and shopping in Pentwater. Plenty of parking for everyone too! We saw bald eagles flying around everyday. So beautiful. The sunsets were amazing. We would definitely love to return someday.

Labor Day Getaway

We spent a very therapeutic Labor Day weenend at the 'Lighthouse'. The location is wondeful with the deck and the private beach being the highlight. Carol is an awesome host and the home has thoughtful touches throughout. We'll be back!

Second trip

We liked the Lighthouse so much the first time we made a return trip. It’s a great location and a great, walkable beach. Nearby town, Hart, offers a quality grocery store, good restaurants (Big Hart) and a good bakery for donuts. Owners are responsive to questions and great to work with.

Couldn’t ask for more.

Our family stayed the week of June 19th. The pictures do not do it justice. This place is loaded with anything and everything you could think of. From baggies to coffee to bug spray. My family loved our time the sunsets every night were amazing then when it was dark we enjoyed the fire pit out front. We did bring our own firewood but there was some already there. The only complaint I would have which is no fault of the owners but the water was freezing cold. We measured it at 55° so didn’t really get to enjoy beach life as much as we had hoped as well as the steps are a work out! Plan on getting in shape if your going to the beach daily. Lol. All around we would highly suggest for anyone just maybe if you want warm water wait until late July/august. Thank you to the owners absolutely beautiful, private, and perfect home.

Lake Michigan Perfection

A truly beautiful home. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Carol, was so kind & a pleasure to work with to make my fiancé's Birthday come to life. The View.... is.... INCREDIBLE. Everything is clean. The hot tub is hard to leave. We had an age range of 6-76 & everyone LOVED this cottage. Very private, yet minutes from civilization. Golf at Golden Sands was beautiful & our trips to Craig Cruizer's for Mini golf/Go Karts/ Zip Line/ etc were so much fun.. Then back to that view & that hot tub within 10 minutes. The beds are very comfortable & clean. Bill & Carol know how to make a Vrbo home &bboy have they done it. Thank you from all of us. Family memories were made & we cannot wait to return to this pure Michigan Gem. Could not recommend the house, or the hosts more highly. Book this one immediately!

A Delightful Place to Get Away

We are a family of three couples and this cottage is perfect for us, with each couple having their own room with a private bathroom. The cottage is nestled in a woods with a view of Lake Michigan that is stunning. You'll love the kitchen! Our hosts are friendly and available usually via text if we needed any help. The area has plenty of sites to see (we enjoy lighthouses), activities to do (ours ranged from putt-putt to tubing behind a pontoon boat) and places to explore (we walked through downtown Pentwater and Hart and enjoyed some authentic Mexican food). During inclement weather it's no hardship to just hang out at the cottage with its large, comfortable family room and play games.

Great location and Hosts. House was complete with many extras.

The house was perfect for our family get together. We had plenty of room to spread out and a great kitchen for meal prep. We enjoyed the beach and the big deck to relax. Would recommend this rental for big families or a girls weekend away
