Private Waterfront Setting on Lake Michigan | Cottage in Shelby

Description of ~~ WINDY DUNE ~~
This property is located in Shelby, MI, a small town about equidistant from
Muskegon to the south and Ludington to the north, about ¼ mile south of the Little
Point Sable Lighthouse, which is a landmark usually shown on maps.
The area surrounding the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline is largely an
agricultural one, with acres and acres of cherry, apple and peach orchards, many
fields of strawberries, blueberries, and vegetables, especially asparagus, and corn,
both sweet and feed types, as well as several large family-owned dairy farms.
The cottage is secluded within 24 acres of privately owned woods and has 900 feet of pristine beach. It is accessed by a 1/2 mile long gravel private road which winds through the woods, past 2 other cottages, and culminates in a large sunny meadow where this cottage is sited.
The cottage has 3 bedrooms, 1-1/2 bathrooms (the half bath is upstairs) and it
sleeps a maximum of 8 comfortably (with 2 in twin-size bunk beds).
Three steps down from the entry-level is a large open concept living space with a large sitting area, a counter height island that seats 7, a small coffee bar (sets 2-3) and a fully equipped all-electric kitchen. The seating area has a cathedral ceiling, a mid-century fireplace, and many windows that flood the space with lots of natural light. Off the living room and kitchen is a Westward-facing deck overlooking Lake Michigan - the prime viewing spot for the many gorgeous sunsets, each one a little bit different, but all stunning! As kids, we used to grade the sunsets 1 to 10.
Two bedrooms (1 Queen bed and 1 Full bed) and a full bath are
located on the first floor. The upstairs bedroom, with windows and
a balcony, faces the Lake and has a twin-size bunk bed and a full-size sleeper
sofa. A small powder room is on the second floor.
The cottage is equipped with Wi-FI, satellite TV, with built-in DVD player, Cell phone service isn't always perfect, but you can use the landline for local and domestic long-distance calls.
A path through the woods with a total of 30 stairs, separated into 3 sections of 10 steps each (one section has an attached bench for sit-downs if needed) leads you from the cottage to the large private beach.
Entertain yourselves on the beautiful beach, which has very fine white sand -
like confectioner’s sugar - great for building sandcastles and beachcombing; enjoy
swimming and frolicking in the crystal clear water of the Lake; walking north, about
¼ mile along the beach to the Little Point Sable Lighthouse www.splka.org. Enjoy
sitting around a beach fire, roasting marshmallows, telling scary stories, looking out
for shooting stars and if you are staying towards the end of the summer be on the
lookout for the Northern Lights.
You are encouraged to hike in the surrounding woods and dunes; following
one of the many deer paths makes the going a bit easier.
If you feel the need for more activity venture out to enjoy the many nearby
