Beautiful Lake Michigan Cottage with Beach Access

This beautifully decorated cottage sits on almost an acre of wooded land with association access to Lake Michigan. With 6 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, there is plenty of space for the entire family to enjoy a Lake Michigan beach vacation like never before!

INSIDE THE HOME

When you enter this home your breath will be taken away-between the unobstructed views of Lake Michigan from any point in the open concept living area to the beautiful finishes and decor throughout. The main living area includes an open kitchen, a dining table with two sliders to the deck, a living room with a large, comfortable sectional couch that also becomes a queen sofa sleeper, and another glass slider to the expansive deck where you will be sure to catch a beautiful sunset.

Off the living room are one of two main floor master bedroom suites, including a king bed, a full bathroom with a glass shower, and a private outside deck. Down the hallway to the right is another master king suite with a full attached bathroom, a third main floor bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom with soaking tub (with lake views!) a shower stall, and a laundry room.

Downstairs you will find a common living space with flat-screen smart television for Netflix fun, games, and a foosball table. A kids bunk room with two sets of twin bunk beds and kids size table will keep the kids entertained. There is a full bath with a glass shower stall, and two more private bedrooms, each with a king bed.

OUTSIDE

Tucked in a quiet wooded neighborhood, you will feel like you entered paradise as you drive through rolling sand dunes and the private manmade lakes on either side of the road. The home is situated on just under an acre. Lake Michigan views abound as well as endless fun walking the shores and splashing in the waves. The beach is accessible at the association beach area which is just a short walk from the house. The steps to the beach are located right off of our property, to the south.

*Please note that Lake Michigan water levels are ever-changing, beach size can vary from day to day.

The large deck is the perfect place to end your night with dinner on the grill watching the sunset over the lake.

Parking: The drive and parking area comfortably allow multiple vehicles.

Love this house!
The house is beautiful - even better than the pictures! The hosts are great! They were quick to respond to any questions and also checked in a couple times to see if we needed anything. The layout of the house has plenty of space for everyone to gather but also allows for privacy. We had a fantastic time and would definitely stay again!!

Exceeded All Expectations!
We are so grateful for our time at this property. We celebrated our wedding ceremony with closest friends and family and could not have had a more perfect time or setting. The house is huge, open, and comfortably slept 12 adults. The outdoor space is idyllic. The sunsets are unmatched. The hosts were so kind and helpful. We would LOVE to return to this property sometime in the future. Thank you for hosting us!

Great house for a group, with beautiful views!
We had a family reunion in Norton Shores / Muskegon, using this house as our primary base and it was wonderful in all respects. The house is great for a group, and was well-stocked and easy to use. The living spaces are practical and comfortable, the beds were nice, and the back deck and views were spectacular. Would definitely love to return!

Stormy Weekend
The house was gorgeous and had a lot of room. The only issue we had was with the storms happening, water got into the room in the basement and soaked the floor in the room closest to the stairs.

This was the perfect spot to celebrate our marriage and precious family, surrounded by the beauty of God's creation. The home is designed to accommodate large groups comfortably while offering a variety of spaces for one-on-one conversations. My kids and grandkids loved the beach while the older folks loved the decks. All areas were used and enjoyed. Many thanks to our hosts who made us feel like welcomed guests.

A Wonderful Stay
What a wonderful week our group had! This house fit our group of 10 adults and 10 kids (ranging 3 months to 9 years old) comfortably. We found 2 extra cots that come in handy for kids not wanting to sleep in the bunk room as well. The house was incredibly clean and offered all the necessary amenities. It was great to have a plethora of extra beach towels the outdoor shower to wash our sandy feet. I was a little concerned about the steps to the beach, but the 4-year-olds had no problem navigating them up and down all day long! You can't beat the location - not only beautiful Lake Michigan views and beach access, but a quick drive to Muskegon and Grand Haven. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about this house - thank you for hosting our crew!

Beautiful house w/amazing view
Loved our girls weekend at the cottage. It’s perfect for large groups, we had 8 women, it worked out great ! Appreciated the seating for eating and hanging out, it kept us all together even for movie night. The beach is amazing along with the views of Lake Michigan. The cottage was clean with a well equipped kitchen. Outside shower was a great idea for rinsing off sandy toes after walks on the beach. Hosts were great to communicate with. We are already planning to go back next year.

This was a beautiful property-perfect for our family-and there is a house owned by someone else on a nearby property so we could have our brother and his family in that property. We had a wonderful time. Our mother recently died so since she had lived in Muskegon for 65 years we were able to have a nice Celebration of Life for her. Thanks

Micro wedding
My fiancé and I wanted a small micro wedding with our families and a very small group of friends. This home provided plenty of seating options for everyone to gather together for this special occasion! There was a room that worked perfectly for a bridal suite for me to get ready in! The layout of the house couldn’t have been more perfect! The host was incredible to talk with, and make sure we had everything we needed. They were quick at responding, and very friendly. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone that wants a micro wedding! Even though we got hit with a surprise snowstorm during the ceremony, there was still room to have the dances inside. It was absolutely perfect!

Great Stay at Norton Shores Cottage
My family and I stayed in this great place for three night, I do not know where to start, the place is just perfect, location while in cottage feel isolated, you will see deer and wild turkey, however it is 10 minutes away from the town. The view of Lake Michigan and the sunset is unbelievable, the photos do not do justice to the view, I will share some sunset photos with the hosts. Inside, every space in living area including kitchen and dining area open and have great view of Lake Michigan, skylights are just perfect for natural light. Main floor three bedrooms with its bathroom just great, clean, new, elegant, functional. Downstairs three bedroom with shared bathroom also very functional, all kids stayed downstairs and one bathroom was manageable since they could also use upstairs bathrooms. The kitchen contains everything you will need, it also has very nice telescopic smores sticks. Outside, there are three different areas, big table with chairs to have a meal with everyone while enjoying outdoor and Lake Michigan effect (sounds and breeze), lower deck with unobstructed view of Lake Michigan, fire pit area, and of course finally the stairs which take you to the beach. All areas were used by us and the whole family enjoyed every minute. The temperature was 40 degrees, two of the collage kids took a dip into Lake Michigan, they could not resist. I have reported to the hosts couple of minor things and they immediately replied back that they will take care of it.

Beautiful house- more than I expected.
Great location. House had everything we could need. Beach was beautiful. Totally private on first day, but then a large group next door came for the weekend and set up a large circle of chairs for two days. Our last day there, while we were on the beach, their cigar smoke came blowing right at us. I guess you cannot control the ignorance of some people.

Amazing!!!
The pictures do not do this cottage justice! The house was clean and spacious (12 adults). The beach was really big which is unusual now with so many places along Lake Michigan losing beach. We were totally psyched that the path to the beach was essentially "on" the property as the description made it sound like it may have been a bit of a walk. Not many stairs (maybe 50-70), but broken up to rest and nice because you don't have to walk on that hot sand. We absolutely loved the fire pit and used it nightly. The views from the deck were amazing and nice for elderly people not wanting to walk the stairs to the beach for sunsets. The bedrooms were spacious and mattresses comfortable. Lots of parking for those with people coming from all over. I was hesitant to give this cottage such a great review for fear everyone will want to rent! :) Our family has been renting cottages on Lake Michigan and looking for our permanent Lake Michigan cottage and we have found it. We hope to return again.
