This Lake Michigan house is perfect for a family vacation. Located on a dune on Lake Michigan just one mile north of White Lake, the setting and views are incredible.
Our home has a remodeled kitchen (2020) all rooms painted (2020) and updated beddings. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The entry level has two bedrooms and a full bath. One of these bedrooms has a queen bed and a double bed. The other has two bunk beds: (1) an ex long twin over queen and (2) double over double beds. The washer and dryer are also on the entry level. The main floor is an open concept area with modern kitchen, dining area, living room and den. That level has the master bedroom with a queen bed and a full bath. There is also a pull out sofa bed in the den. A small loft (accessible via a spiral staircase) offers great views; a nice area to read a good book or play a game. We have also added a whole house generator (2019)
Full amenities inside include all the normal appliances: refrigerator, stove/ oven, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer, air conditioning, on demand hot water, cable TV, and Wi-Fi internet access. There is also a separate beverage cooler. A full house generator ensures you will always have power.
The home is in a quiet area that you enter through a wooded drive from the east. There is only one neighbor to the south, a large grass/wooded dune is to the north, and beautiful Lake Michigan to the west. The outside area is equipped for all the Lake Michigan area enjoyment. There is a fire pit on the back-side (wooded side) of property with Adirondack chairs. There is a good size deck on the front side of the cottage with Weber Genesis II three burner gas grill (2020) and outside eating space and lounging for 8 . There is also a bluff deck that sits on the precipice of the dune (about 150 ft from the cottage) with seating and panoramic views of Lake Michigan. Finally, the beach offers 110 ft of private frontage. Getting to the beach takes about 100 steps down the stairs to the waterfront, so make sure to take some water, soda, or an adult beverage with you. Beach chairs are stored in unit at the waterfront.
For our family and friends, we'd start the morning with coffee on the upper deck while the sun rose over our backs. As the sun climbed, we'd head down to the beach with our coolers and snacks for an afternoon on the shore. Later in the day, we'd gather at the "cottage deck" for appetizers and dinner. Then we'd head back to the upper deck to watch the sun set... nothing else like it on earth. The evening concluded with a bonfire and of course S'mores.
Rain can't even dampen the mood with plenty of puzzles, games, or movies to keep the family happy.
Beyond the house, Old Channel Trail Golf Course is a mile to the North and the Old Channel Inn (lunch/dinner) is a mile south. White Hall & Montague are a 15 minute drive for more restaurants, movies or other activities. Silver Lake (Sand Dune rides, etc) is about 30 minutes north. Further north are Pentwater or Ludington or South to Muskegon or Grand Haven for more adventures. (25/35 minute drive).
We welcome you to spend a week or two at our house. We know that you will enjoy it!
