SPRING DISCOUNT! (See description) One Bedroom Cottage with Private Beach!

***SPRING DISCOUNT! When you rent 2 or more nights at Lat's Cottages, you get a third night FREE! This is on top of our already discounted off season rates! Offer good September through May (not valid Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends).

We are located on the relaxing shores of Lake Michigan in Lakeside MI, just five miles north of the Indiana border.

Our cottages and Lake House are set on a 2 acre fenced in and landscaped lot with 200 feet of sandy private beach. This VRBO listing is for Cottage #2.

This cottage has one bedroom and can sleep 2-4 guests. There is a queen bed in the bedroom, a foldout futon couch in the living room, and a fold out child size cot. In addition, this cottage includes a private picnic table, lawn furniture, and grill.

On the beach we have a large fire pit, picnic table, beach chairs and umbrellas, assorted beach toys, as well as 2 kayaks and two row boats for our guests to use.

A total of 24 guests can be supported between all of our units. Perfect for family reunions or large get togethers! We have been providing memorable vacations to families for over 60 years.

***Please note our property is set on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. We have approximately 100 stone steps from the yard to the beach. This can be difficult for guests with certain health and joint problems. We do have multiple rest benches along the stairs to take rest breaks.***

Can't beat the cost and location

I really enjoyed my stay at Lat's Cottage. The property owners were onsite to greet me and check me into the well appointed cottage. I came in the offseason so the room hadn't been occupied in some time so the air was a bit stale but everything was in working order and the internet access was strong. The property is absolutely stunning. There is a grove of trees with a rope swing and a sitting area on the cliff overlooking the lake. The location is also excellent. I really enjoyed walking from the cottage down the beach to pick up coffee at the Whistle Stop Cafe and Dinner at the Red Arrow Roadhouse. Also a ten minute drive to Warren Dunes! Excited to bring my kids back in the summer to make use of the digging equipment, boogey boards, and kayaks!

First Time In Michigan

We had such a good time. The lay out of the property was very relaxing. The trip to the beach was a little rough for older folks like me. But nice beach shack with everything we needed. Even tryed out the kayaks. Paul was such a joy to talk to. Very hard work. And his dogs were awesome to. Thank you

It was just right

We were very pleased with our stay. The host was very gracious and helpful with our arrangements. We will definitely recommend to friends. Everything provided was just as advertised. (And that amazing tree in the front yard surely has a story to it.)
