Cute Lakefront Cottage on Lake Michigan.

Beautiful 900 square foot cottage with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Panoramic view of Lake Michigan is breathtaking. Clean updated interior. Two bedrooms have double beds and one bedroom has bunk beds. The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably. You will enjoy the spacious living/kitchen/dining area. The cottage is in a private association so there is plenty of privacy. It has a newer LP gas furnace for cool nights if needed. There is usually a nice cool breeze off of Lake Michigan for your comfort. But large fans are provided in each bedroom.
The cottage is on a small bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. There are several places to swim and kayak close by. The kitchen is clean, convenient and has all of the utensils, plates, pots, and cookware you will need for your comfort. Bedding and towels are provided as well. There is parking for two vehicles (three, if you squeeze tightly). The cottage is located just 5 minutes from recreational Silver Lake and 15 minutes from quaint Pentwater Village. A great family vacation place.

The property is very clean and nicely decorated. The furniture is in great condition and the double door walls offered a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. A very peaceful, quiet property on a private street. It was perfect for my family of four and we really enjoyed our stay.

Our family of 5 was welcomed into this home in the lake with a clean tidy and comfortable place to stay for a full week stay. I had messaged them to ask a question and was replied to quickly and was very pleased how accommodating this family is. No issues whatsoever. We highly recommend this rental for any getaway. The sunsets are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much!

Nice property on Lake Michigan. House clean. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 4 kids. Plenty of games and movies. I assumed there would be beachfront and there was not. There were steps down to the big rock retaining wall but not easy access for kids to swim. Overall nice cottage and enjoyable stay.

Nice place to stay. Beautiful view of the lake. Had some ant issues and both lake side slider doors and screens need attention. Hard to open them and screen doors would come out of the tracks. House Temperature was ok but would be challenging if it were very hot weather due to no air conditioning in the house. Overall a nice rental just needs some updating.

the grill was not clean and had no brush to clean it with so we never used it. We'd have liked to see the way of entry as we are both in our 70"s and the stairway was very difficult. ( Stroke survivor with partial right side paralysis). All else was very enjoyable.

Love Juniper Beach. My family's cottage was 2 doors down before sold in recent years. Cottage is very nice. We had a few hot and humid days, so wish there was a screen door for cross ventilation. Nice vacation and hope to return next year.
