About this house rental
Welcome to the Cottage on the Bluff!
Exciting update: the property now features newly installed stairs providing easy access to the beach, making your lakeside experience even more enjoyable. With its blend of comfort and natural beauty, this home is the perfect spot for your next adventure!
Nestled along the scenic shores of Lake Michigan, this charming 1970s chalet-style home offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views—perfect for a relaxing escape. Whether you’re gathering with family and friends or sneaking away for a quiet getaway, the Cottage on the Bluff is truly magical year-round.
Lounge on the wrap-around porch, gather around the fire table, disconnect from the hustle and bustle, and soak in breathtaking sunsets over the lake. Due to the remote location, cell service and Wi-Fi can be limited and unreliable, offering the perfect opportunity to slow down, unplug, and fully enjoy the beauty and tranquility of your surroundings.
Custom-built with cedar finishes inside and out, the Cottage features cathedral ceilings, cherry kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, and hardwood floors throughout, making it both cozy and inviting. The spacious, open layout is perfect for family gatherings, holiday meals, or quiet relaxation.
The cottage is just a 10-minute drive from both the north and south beaches and downtown, where you’ll find unique boutiques, charming restaurants, and a classic town theater. In winter, experience the quiet beauty of the area, or visit nearby attractions for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
Sleeping Arrangements:
The cottage sleeps 6 guests comfortably:
• Master Loft Suite: A king-size bed, private bathroom with a stand- up shower, and a cozy sitting area with a futon. The loft overlooks the living area and offers a serene view of the lake.
• 2nd Bedroom: A queen-size bed on the main floor.
• Living Room: Features a sleeper sofa for extra guests.
Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on the expansive porch while taking in breathtaking lake views and unbeatable sunsets. In the colder months, unwind in the hot tub or gather around the fire table for a cozy evening.
Winter and Holiday Specialties:
The Cottage on the Bluff is the perfect escape for a winter retreat or holiday celebration. Whether you’re cozying up by the fire, enjoying the peaceful winter landscape, or hosting a holiday gathering, this home offers a warm, inviting atmosphere to create lasting memories with your loved ones.
Internet Access: Due to the cottage's remote location, cable and fiber internet service are not available. Internet is provided through a cellular-based connection. While it works well much of the time, service can become slow, intermittent, or unavailable during peak tourist periods when the local cell towers are congested. If you require reliable internet for remote work, video calls, streaming, or other high-bandwidth activities, this property may not be the best fit. We recommend downloading anything you'll need before arriving or bringing a personal hotspot as a backup.
We look forward to welcoming you and helping you create lifelong memories!

6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Deck and views are amazing, but some quirks kept it from being great. Too much in the house required instructions that weren’t there - the coffee pot was touchy, the smart tv is a Roku but required creating or logging into a Roku account before you could get off the main screen including to watch dvds, it took 2 of us to get the fire table to light beyond a flicker. The grill was entirely unusable since the burners were completely rusted out and there wasn’t enough lighting to get heat. While we knew there weren’t stairs to the beach due to erosion we were shocked that the cottage steps are literally at the fence line and then it drops off completely. The furniture is comfortable and the cottage is clean, the listing is accurate, it just didn’t quite live up to the listing promise.
