Pentwater Cottage | Lake Michigan Waterfront Cottage on 7 acres-Labor Day Weekend Still Available

3 Bedroom Cottage in Pentwater

The Pentwater dunes along Lake Michigan offer the most beautiful, pure hard-packed sandy beaches in the United States. White, silky sand welcomes you to 185 feet of private frontage with this cottage. Nightly, you will be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore. Start each morning with a stroll along private Lake Michigan frontage for 1.5 miles to the Pentwater Channel where you will see watercraft heading out for a morning sail or first catch of the day.
If you enjoy biking, you can enjoy a quick, easy 3.5 mile bike ride into town for a good cup of coffee and a scone at the local bakery. Or, for a longer tour, start at the Hart Montague Trail Head in Hart, MI (8-10 miles from the cottage by car), and bike 52 miles round trip, through agricultural fields (mainly fruit trees and asparagus) and past our local Country Dairy where you can stop for lunch. Country Dairy offers grass-fed beef hamburgers, sandwiches, and unlimited cups of fresh-made white or chocolate milk! Plus, homemade ice cream for dessert. The Hart-Montague bike trail is the first rails-to-trails conversion in the state of Michigan. It's flat and often tree-covered.
Regarding our cottage, there is nothing between our cottage and Lake Michigan except 160 stairs, through the woods and down to the beach. Completely private and secluded. You will not be able to see or hear neighbors. Our view is unlike other cottages (which are located farther down the dune, and thus much closer to the water), as we have a 180 degree view.
We offer 2 sea kayaks, a paddleboard and a very long canoe! They are stored at the beach. You can launch the kayaks either on Lake Michigan, paddle down to the channel, take out at the public dock in Pentwater to enjoy the city or visit the farmers' market at the village green. Another option is to take the canoe to the public launch at Pentwater Lake for a nice, leisurely paddle around Pentwater Lake. Lastly, you can transport the kayaks to either the Pentwater River launch or the Pere Marquette RIver Launch (you'll need to sign up for a permit for the day).
There is no phone or internet at the cottage. However, your mobile should easily get service. Both AT&T as well as Verizon cell service works. This is a place where you escape from technology to enjoy nature. However, the Pentwater Library (in town, about 3 miles away) has computers for public use, as well as wireless internet that can be accessed even when the library is closed.
Having enjoyed so many of our weekends at Lake Michigan, we spent 5 years trying to find the right place -- secluded, with acreage of wooded land. We wanted a place perched high on a dune to offer pristine views of Lake Michigan, and plenty of private frontage.
Please be aware that while there is nothing but sand dune (covered with trees) between our cottage and Lake Michigan, there are wooden steps (with a railing) that lead down from the cottage to the beach -- there are roughly 160 steps, with small seating areas along the way.
Come and enjoy your private get away!
Sincerely,
Janet Cocciarelli and Alan Fanta

Summary: This is a very comfortable, cozy cabin perched on a steep wooded dune above Lake Michigan. The view from the cabin in beautiful, and there are safe and sturdy steps down to a broad and perfectly sandy beach. The setting is very private. Even in late November the cabin was cozy, a perfect post-Thanksgiving getaway for my wife and I.

Summary: Pentwater is a great town with plenty to do. Cottage is off the beaten path and great for a secluded getaway. Beautiful views of Lake Michigan with access to a great section of beach. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Summary: This was our second stay at this magical treehouse beach abode. We started every morning with coffee on the deck overlooking the lake and played games and read books until it was time to hit the beach. The steps are a doozy (all 160 of them) but they get easier as the week goes on. The beach is wide and you can walk for miles in each direction. We loved lounging in the sun and playing in the water. In the evening we made dinners together and played games and watched movies, always with a pause for sunset viewing. Honestly the best part was having no internet and little to no cell service. Watching my 13 year old son and his buddy connect with nature and each other, instead of video games, was the best gift. We returned to Indy relaxed snd refreshed.

Summary: The house was exactly as advertised. The private beach was stunning. Janet was incredible and serving us and yet giving us the space we wanted for our time. It was a marvelous experience. We would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: My family and I came out for a much needed long weekend at this cabin and it was awesome. The cabin was everything that was listed by the owner and more. I would absolutely recommend this to family and friends without hesitation. I would add that the stairs to the beach can be a bit much, but the beach made them more than worth it. The Cabin offered us great views , a private beach , and memories that will last a lifetime. The location was close to everything we wanted to see and made it very easy to get to the dunes and main strip in the city. The views from the living room and the deck are truly amazing and we never missed a sunset on the water. We ended our stay with a fire in the fireplace and game night at the coffee table. We will be back !

Summary: We came to bring our son and his friend for a quick fall getaway to ride side by sides and do a little fishing. The weather didn’t cooperate much except for our last day. The cabin was quite and cozy nestled away in the woods. As you’ll read in the reviews there is a small hike down 160 stairs to get to the beach but the reward was like having a huge private beach. On our last night we had a nice fire on the beach. The drive in does have a steep incline pulling up to the cabin so be prepared for that. Even my f250 was challenged but that’s probably because ford lightened them up to much making the bodies aluminum. I do recommend this location and the owners were great. They allowed us to check in early because off season just started and gave us the opportunity to check out late. You can’t beat the view from the upstairs and the deck!

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in Pentwater. The house is welcoming, lovely and rustic. There are also a number of books, if you like to read (I happened to find one by my favorite author!). We enjoyed the secluded location, large deck, and beach. We played in the incredibly clear water, built sandcastles and a bonfire. We even saw deer on the beach. Highly recommend staying here. Communication with Janet was excellent and she was very accommodating. Thank you Janet & Alan!

Summary: Wonderful week with the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. Vintage cottage with what you need to relax and disconnect from busy life. No WiFi and almost no cell service, so plan for that.

Summary: We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. The cabin is amazing. Beautiful wood work and a stone fire place surrounded by views of the lake and a deck where we spent each evening listening to the water. The beach is quiet and we found ourselves alone in the water each day. The seclusion and quietness of the cabin cannot be overstated. We loved our time and plan to return.
