About this property

Nestled on a sandy dune, just a few easy steps from beautiful Lake Michigan, Blue View Cottage is a perfect family retreat. A vintage A frame, it's been completely renovated to house 8 people comfortably. It maintains a rustic charm, while providing brand new amenities.

Surrounded by sandy dunes and forests for exploring and hiking, Blue View provides easy access to all of the glory of Great Lakes activities, swimming in the clean clear water, fishing, boating, glorious sunsets and campfires on the beach. Loads of adventures await young and old alike in the villages of Pentwater and Silver Lake.

The cottage has whitewashed rafters, rustic barn floors, a new kitchen with farmhouse sink and finishes. Two cozy queen bedrooms look out on the sand dunes downstairs and Lake Michigan upstairs. There is also an upstairs bedroom that sleeps four in new twin beds.

The original Knotty Pine living room looks out on a deck and a short flat path to Lake Michigan. Both upstairs and downstairs decks provide panoramic views of the lake, perfect for watching freighters, sailboats and glorious sunsets.

Beach is never overly busy even on holiday weekends. Occasionally owners use the adjacent beach when visiting their cottage located up the dune. Second cottage may be available groups of more than eight, contact owners if you need more space.

Plan a week in Michigan that will make memories forever.

Lake Michigan Beach Vacation

Pat and Diana are great hosts and this is the perfect location for a Lake Michigan beach vacation. This was our fourth stay at Blueview and we enjoyed the weather and views all week long. The beach is perfect and this cottage is steps away from the shore. Plenty of towels, comfy beds and more.

Private Beach, Rustic Accomodations

Cannot beat the location, the beach access, and the neighborhood. It's tranquility on lake Michigan to the max. It was really a beautiful beach and the home did accomodate our family of 5 plus dog well. We had a fantastic week and really left sun drenched and happy. We felt the house was a bit more rustic than we appreciated from the listing. Specifically, It has no insulation which required the intermittent use of turbo fan heaters (provided) all night. Compounding this the blankets provided in the loft bedroom (4 twin beds) were paper thin and didn't provide ample warmth. Additionally, there are NO extra towels or blankets provided so be sure to have some on you. It's clear that this is a rental designed for maximum profit not an owners vacation home. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just plan accordingly. If middle lake Michigan coast is your desire this is really a great location. Not sure we would stay there again, but we would definitely recommend it!
