Hilltop Cottage in Pentwater Village

10/10 Excellent

"Just close enough but just far enough to not hear bands at local bars. Huge dining table. Great screened in porch."

Cozy "Beach" Cabin in the woods with Pentwater Lake frontage and access

10/10 Excellent

"WE BEGAN PLANNING OUR RETURN WITHIN 1 HOUR OF ARRIVING. SERIOUSLY. It’s hard to describe how good this place is for life-weathered spirits. We went to Cozy Cabins for 6 days of peace, relaxation, and new adventures after a very difficult year and found all of the above and so much more. It was perfectly described, and they delivered on every promise— and added so many unexpected personal touches. It’s thoughtfully equipped, so staying for extended periods would be easy. The only change we’ll make next summer is booking 2 additional cabins as our kids’ and grandkids’ Christmas gifts! "

"Coho Cottage" Village of Pentwater

10/10 Excellent

"The home was really clean and was only a short walk to the beach and downtown. It was nice to be able to walk everywhere we went."

Marina View in the Village

10/10 Excellent

"Marina View is a great location. If you are a boater Charlie's Marina, Snug Harbor, and the municipal marina are all within a 3 minute walk. Cenzos grocery is a minute walk. Great location to walk everywhere.Home is well stocked and very clean. Plenty of open areas to gather and the big front lawn is another great gathering place.Thank you!"

Old fashioned cottage short walk from Pentwater beach

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay! Home is exactly what we expected. The shower is small but worked for what we needed. The location to the beach can't be beat!"
