Relaxing 3 bedroom cottage located in a prime location on "all sports" Stony Lake with spectacular views. Watch the sunrise from the balcony or the private, sandy beach right in your backyard. Dock your boat at the dock or use the paddle boat, sailboat, or kayaks which are included with the rental to explore Stony Lake. Enjoy swimming, playing in the sand, water sports or fishing off the dock. Create wonderful memories with family and friends while enjoying the cookouts on a new gas grill, campfires, or floating down the river into Lake Michigan. End your day on the 10x30 deck or the beach with your beverage of choice and watch the sunset. Our guests will surely enjoy the newly added, full bathroom as well as the updated family room furniture.

cozy cabin in a fun location

This place lived up to its potential- access to the kayaks and the river is awesome. Foosball in the basement made for a fun family tournament and the owners were very attentive to our needs before and during our stay. Stony lake is a hidden gem.

Stony Lake family vacation 2023

We enjoyed an amazing week at this private cottage on Stony Lake. Only about 15 minutes from the sand dunes, and a fun relaxing tube ride from Stony Lake creek to Lake Michigan. Cottage was clean, with all amenities needed for a vacation week with family. We were very pleased with this rental 👍

great family spot!

Owner gave specific directions to find location, enter home and was great at responding to questions by text or email. Home was clean, layout was great for our family! 2nd bath downstairs was conveniently located to outside patio and beach! Lake was quiet, loved that we also had access to the paddle boat and kayaks!

Great Family Vacation

Stony lake was the perfect spot for a family vacation. This house was the best stocked rental we have ever been to. The kitchen had all you needed and more and there were plenty of linens and blankets. The weather was chilly while we were there but luckily the home had plenty of games to keep us busy. We were still able to enjoy the fire pit and a few local breweries! We will be back!

Great Getaway

We rented this property for a girls' weekend and it did not disappoint. So cute! The bedrooms were nice and not at all musty. We loved Stony Lake! One highlight was being able to kayak together out to Lake MI. We also enjoyed close-by Ludington amenities and the fantastic Mexican food in neighboring Shelby. We loved our time away at this gorgeous lakeside getaway.

Lakeside getaway

Stoney Lake is a beautiful destination for a lakeside getaway. This lake house was well stocked and had just about everything we wanted. There are lots of fun games and activities for rainy days. Tom was very responsive to any questions that we had. The only downfall that I could see was that somehow mosquitoes and many many spiders were making their way inside. We did notice some screens had holes and this is possibly the cause. Despite this, we had a blast and I would highly recommend.

Clean, Comfortable and Charming

We stayed in New Era for my daughter’s wedding in early October. This gem was found by my son-in-law whose family lives in new era. It’s off the beaten path, nestled quietly on the north shore of Stony Lake. I unplugged, logged off and enjoyed beautiful Michigan in all its glory. I can still smell the fresh, crisp autumn air. The house is big enough for a group of 9. The beds are very comfortable, clean bedding and comforters, lots of pillows, washer, dryer. Nice large bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utensils. (bring your own corkscrew). Great appliances and large table to hold the whole family. I stopped in Muskegon for groceries and I’m glad I did, because once there I didn’t want to leave. Fabulous view of Stony Lake in the family room. Quiet surroundings. There’s a nice deck, dock and sandy area in the front of the cottage facing Stony Lake. Plenty of toys for the kids, chairs and table to enjoy dinner outside, foose-ball, and even a row boat for a ride around the lake. The owners do a great job keeping the place clean and nicely decorated. It’s the perfect get away and I can’t wait to go back next year. Book early!

The Perfect Lakehouse!

This year we decided to start renting a cottage for a week every summer and figured we would try one this summer, and another the next, and so on, until we found one that we loved. We weren’t expecting the first one we stayed at to be the one we loved! I’m not sure where to start with a review; there’s so many things that made our vacation perfect! We absolutely loved having a sandy beach for the kids to play in (we have a 7 month old and a 3 year old) and also grass to play yard games in. This cottage has everything you need for a lake getaway from sand toys, water tubes, fishing poles, life jackets, yard games, to board games to play on cooler days! The kayaks and paddle boat are an added bonus! We were never bored at the cottage, and the views from the deck are beautiful of the lake. The home was clean and we loved the lakehouse feel! The cottage is also perfectly located. We went to Silver Lake for the dune rides, ice cream, Craig’s Cruisers, and the Cherry Hill Market. Then another night we cruised over to the Oval Beach to watch the sunset over Lake Michigan. There are so many local attractions and markets, that if you did feel the need to leave the cottage for a bit, you’ve got options! Last but not least, the owners are so accommodating! Tom made sure we had everything we needed and was quick to answer any questions. He made sure we knew if someone would be stopping out, as there was a surveyor that came the week we were there. The communication made us feel like the owners genuinely want your family to have the best experience, and I think that always just adds to the trip :) We can’t wait to plan next summer!

The home was well appointed. The weather did not cooperate with us.

Probably the only negative was the small child staying next door literally cried non stop and it got to be pretty annoying. It was difficult to relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the lake. We were glad they left after a couple days.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Beattie

We live very active lifestyles and enjoy living life to the fullest with our 4 children. We have been vacationing in this area for over 20 years and finally purchased this great cottage 5 years ago.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to do right at the cottage or unplug from it all and simply relax. You will love stepping out onto the balcony with a cup of coffee or tea and watch the sunrise. Then just a few more steps across the sandy beach and you will dip your toes into the perfect summer temperature of Stony Lake. It's perfect for families or a couples retreat. We are sure you will enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

What we love most about this cottage is disconnecting from technology and reconnecting with family and friends.
