About this property

Charming Pentwater Cottage with Association Pool and Shared Lake Michigan Beach

Spend your days at the beautiful sugar sand lake Michigan beach, or enjoy all the association amenities (pool, tennis & pickle ball court, basketball court, playground equipment). Beach access is about a 12 minute walk or 2 minute car ride. This recently updated cottage sits in a serene wooded wooded area located 2 miles North of Downtown Pentwater in Desirable Duna Vista associtaion. Location is perfect for access to Pentwater or Ludington which is about 15 miles to the North.

The upstairs has two bedrooms, one of which has 2 twin beds and the other a queen size bed. The MBR is on the main floor and has a queen size bed.

There are endless outdoor activities nearby: hiking, biking, beach, kayaking or paddle boarding rentals at Ludington State park, Mears state park (climb Mt. Baldy) or just hang at our large Association beach.

* Cottage does not have central air conditioning, but MBR has window A/C, and upstairs room with queen bed has a portable A/C unit. House is shaded by several trees and temperature has not been an issue unless it gets into the 90's.

* Due to high mineral content in the water (well water) we provide bottled water for cooking/drinking/etc.

* Sorry, no pets allowed due to allergy sensitivities in our family

* Please note: We have a Ring doorbell camera on outer front door for verification of deliveries and cleaning/maintenance.

Excellent Stay

Great location with a cozy sunroom to enjoy morning coffee watching the wild turkeys and deer. We explored the woods and saw a porcupine on our way to the beach to enjoy the stars on the beach of Lake Michigan.

Great family cottage destination

The house was cute and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the quiet setting with lots of trees and wildlife. We loved the deer that frequently came through the yard. It was nice to have access to a clean and quiet beach just a short drive away. The pool and clubhouse were also nice bonuses.

Perfect

We had a great time. House was perfect! Love the neighborhood is wooded and private. Also loved the private beach access, most of the time we had the beach to ourselves! Also enjoyed the heated pool and pickle ball courts. Nice to sit in the sun room and watch all the wildlife while drinking coffee. Also close to Luddington State park and Silver Lake Sand Dunes.

Perfect Location & Amenities

Spent a week with our family and couldn't have asked for anything more...well, except for maybe a little nicer weather! Cottage was clean, well-appointed and super comfy for our family of 5. It is nicely located close to 'downtown' Pentwater and the association's private beach alone, is well worth staying here for. Definitely interested in returning!

Great week in Michigan

We had a great time at this adorable cottage. Although the listing said you could walk we drove to the beach and pool. The walk was rather hilly for our family and all of our gear but driving was not a problem! We loved the private beach and the pool and spent most of our days at both. The house was comfortable and adorably decorated. It did get hot a few of the days we were there and we noticed the lack of AC but the listing prepared us for that. It was a great week!

Wonderful House and Location!

We took a weekend trip with close friends our kids to Michigan and stayed in this house. The house was spotless, well kept and accurate per the listing! We would definitely stay here again! The neighborhood is secluded, wooded and very quiet, which was perfect for what we were looking for!

The Perfect Oasis

Pentwater is near and dear to our hearts as we were married and have created memories here year after year. Typically, we have stayed in town but decided to stay off the beaten path this year. The house was a perfect location and felt so serene which added to our relaxation. The A/C units barely had to be run and the amenities provided suited us perfectly. Communication with the owner was seamless and timely. The private beach was by far our favorite. We would recommend this house to our family and friends as well!

Darling vacation cottage with a great host.

Our two adult “children” and their families loved this attractive cottage. It was well equipped with a modern kitchen, bath, and laundry room. The little ones loved playing in the protected area of the screened-in porch. We have already booked it again for our Pentwater stay next year. Great rental and welcoming host.

Peace among the trees

The treehouse was the perfect getaways if you're looking to relax and retreat. The house has a great open concept for all main living spaces. The colors and decor were refreshing and serene. Jason was a great host who responded in a timely manner. His great stock of mixed glasses for wine and cocktails looked like a cubbard out of Pier 1 Imports. If you have young kids there is not a big lawn for them to roam, but the private association Beach was gorgeous and only a handful of people every time. We were unable to use the pool because they were installing a new heater system. It will be great for the next group who stays. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

Wonderful week

We found the house to be very clean and comfortable, and the location was outstanding. The single bathroom worked out for the 5 of us and there was so much to do that we'll have to come back! Because the house offered such a variety of inside and outside spaces, we were able to relax right away. It was truly our best family vacation in years.

Beautiful fall getaway

My hubby and two of our best friends had a fabulous weekend exploring Mears, Pentwater, & Ludington. This property was super cute, very clean, and perfect for our relaxing weekend. The location was great...allowed us a chance to explore the sand dunes of Silver Lake and trails at Ludington State Park. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful...every neighbor we passed gave friendly waves & greetings. The owner, Jason, was very communicative and helpful...he gave us great suggestions for local restaurants and hiking spots. I would 100% recommend this property to friends and am already hoping for a repeat visit next year!

About the host

Hosted by Jason T

Host profile image
My wife and I purchased this property in the Fall of 2015. We are both Michigan natives and have enjoyed going 'Up North' for most of our lives. It was in highschool that we first discovered Pentwater and then were fortunate enough to 're-discover' it nearly 25 years later. We live in the suburbs of Detroit and love that it only takes about 3 1/2 hours to get to Pentwater.

Why they chose this property

This property was perfect for us because we saw the potential that it had and are always up for a project! For us, the location is the perfect mix of a quiet get-away with a wooded setting, while having access to the great association amenities and the beautiful town of Pentwater. We have been updating/renovating the house since Fall 2015. While all the major work is complete, there are still some minor projects (exterior painting, etc.) we will continue to work on...
