Cedar Point Cottage- Perfect Lake Michigan Retreat

Cedar Point Cottage. Enjoy Michigan at it's best. Beautiful seclusion year around, enjoy nature and gorgeous Lake Michigan. Convenient, yet secluded, this three-bed room, two bath salt box cottage sits at the tip of Cedar Point. Right on Ridge Road, only a small wood lot separates you from the park staircase leading you down to 800 feet of private association Lake Michigan beach and to fabulous Lake Michigan sunsets. Built in 2003, the cottage has a stone fire place, and a large deck across the back that overlooks the wood lot and park, both of which buffer you from the neighbors. A bedroom that can sleep up to four is downstairs, as is one of the two bathrooms. Upstairs, an open loft sleeps two, and the upstairs bath, which separates the loft from the master bedroom, is accessible from both. A washer, dryer, ping pong, and foosball table greets you in the basement. Flat-screen TV's in the Livingroom and basement, along with wireless internet are also popular features!

Memorial Weekend Stay

Home was close enough to walk to the Lake. We were out in the country, but close enough to towns and other activities. Communication with owner was great. The Welcome book was very helpful and easy to read, along with favorite local spots to visit!

Great house and location

This is our second time staying in this house. We love that the house is well stocked. Great location with short walk to beach. Really love that private beach is dog friendly since our dogs are water lovers. Carol was very accomodating and allowed us to check in early. It was rainy and chilly so we loved having the fireplace. Lots of things to see and plenty of walking areas. We will definitely be back again

Carol and Bill are exceptional hosts. I have a chemical perfume sensitivity and I usually travel with my own sheets, towels and soap. Carol bought an unscented soap that I could use because she is so thoughtful. I smiled so much when I saw it by the washing machine. Their home is comfortable and so accessible to Lake Michigan. We spend the majority of our time there swimming and walking along the shore in early mornings and the afternoon and at night. This year, we walked to Pentwater and back on the beach. They also have marshmallows in the pantry for smores that we make at night and the kitchen has just the right amount of items we need to cook all of our meals every day. We appreciate they have a drip coffee maker. This is the second time we have stayed at their home and cannot wait to visit a third time. And we were lucky this year that we got to meet them in person so that was an extra treat. Thank you again, Carol and Bill for your lovely hospitality and comfortable home.

Summer Vacation

We couldn't have asked for a better house and location for our family! The house is exactly as pictured, very clean, and had a well stocked kitchen, exta linens, wash cloths, bath towels, and beach towels. We took advantage of the beautiful beach every day. With young kids, this was ideal as we could go back and forth to the house and beach easily if needed. The backyard was very calming as the house was surrounded by trees and had a great pit for bonfires! The deck was spacious, we ate outside for dinner every night! The owners were very responsive when I had any questions or concerns. We would choose to stay at this home again and highly recommend it!

Perfect location

The property is as listed. It was stocked very well with towels, linens and kitchen supplies. The walk is very short to the beach and the beach is beautiful and was not crowded. It is a short drive to silver lake and Pentwater. It’s close to places to eat and shop if needed. The deck was great to drink your morning coffee on or eat dinner. There were extra beach chairs to take to the beach which was a lifesaver!! The kids loved having the ping pong table. There’s board games if there’s a rainy day. The WiFi worked perfectly. We didn’t get great reception but having the WiFi really helped. Carol was very responsive and shared great information about the house and location. I would vacation there again in a heartbeat!

A Little Bit of Everything for Everyone

Nice escape for a fun beach vacation. Property has a short walk through wooded path down stairs to the beach for swimming and nighttime bonfire fun. Close to Silver Lake for fun at the Sand Dunes, Light House tour, ice cream, and fun park. Quick 15 minute drive north to Pentwater is a beautiful drive with fun places to shop and eat. If staying while it's hot out, the fans in the windows at night help a lot since there is no central air in house. Loved the enclosed backyard deck for outside gatherings and meals that allowed us to still visit with pets without worry of them running off or being tied up. Loved the entertainment space downstairs with the ping pong table as well. First vacation home we rented where coffee/creamer, condiments in fridge, and other thoughtful touches were included. Thank you!! Beautiful home. Would love to stay in the fall as well.

Much needed peace

We had the most wonderful time at Cedar Point cottage. My kids and I needed a getaway after the death of my husband and my father within 3 months of each other and this cottage did the trick. The owners were very quick with responses to my questions, and the cottage had every amenity we needed and then some. We loved the location to both Pentwater and Silver Lake, and the beach was absolutely beautiful and so close!! Thank you for bringing some peace to my family. We will stay again!
