Sunset Alley Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The location couldn’t be better in this sweet family- and dog-friendly three-bedroom Beulah cottage – you’re blocks from downtown Beulah, with bistros, a brewery, and the beach – but with such a charming interior, you may spend most of your time at home. Nautical blues, shiplap walls, and comfortable yet stylish furnishings combine to create a tranquil, cozy space. The day begins with a cup of coffee at the kitchen island. Meal prep is a breeze in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and funky open shelving. Dine together at the adjacent table, set for seven.

After breakfast, head out to explore this four-season getaway. Skiing, snowmobiling (the alley is a snowmobile trail), snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing in the winter, hiking, sailing, swimming, beach combing, wineries, and exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes await in the summer.

If the weather is nice when you return, step out onto the deck and throw something on the gas grill for dinner. Gather together in the living room to stream your favorite movies, or take advantage of the on-site music collection and record player to spin some tunes. There are board games available as well if you’re looking for more together time. Head to bed with a perfect vacation day under your belt – and another to come tomorrow.

Things to Know:
Free high-speed WiFi
Streaming with guest accounts
Dog-friendly for a small fee (two dog maximum)
Queen sofa bed for extra sleeping space
Note: back yard will be renovated in early spring 2022

Family trip
We stayed for a long family weekend. It was a great location with a short walk to Crystal Lake and downtown Beulah. It was in a cute quiet neighborhood, though the road behind the house was quite loud/busy. Everything was as listed. The only complaint was the key code for the door was so long, we couldn't remember it and were afraid of leaving our phones inside and getting locked out. Luckily that didn't happen though! Overall great stay.

Backed up to highway so noisy in the morning, The firepit was great !! The front door doesn't latch properly unless it is locked-- needs some adjustment. Loved the kitchen !! Cute little place.

Cute place
Well decorated and stocked, clean and comfy. Need clearer instructions on where/how to park. Listing says parking for 2 but driveway is only big enough for one - had to park in the grass next to driveway- no choice as street parking or allowed

Cute cottage in a good location
Great little cottage, perfect place use as home base while you enjoy Crystal Lake. Easy walk to downtown Beulah, with plenty of restaurants and shops, and near the public beach. Definitely cozy — I’d say it’s a tight squeeze for groups larger than 4 — but comfortable and nicely decorated.

Cozy and Comfortable Home
My husband and I stayed here with our son and daughter-in-law to celebrate a birthday. Good location—easy walk into town and the beach. Well-stocked kitchen where we did lots of cooking. Clean and bright— nicely decorated throughout. Would definitely return!

Beautiful cozy home
It was just as pictured but even nicer in person. Perfect location to get to where you want to go with just a short drive. Loved how well the house was stocked for everyone. We throughly enjoyed our stay. Only issue was it was a bit dusty and the floors looked like they hadn’t been swept or mopped as there was stuff all over it.
