The cottage is located in a very, very quiet area beside White Lake in a private development, just about two miles from Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
The building itself is a traditional "old timey lake cottage" with knotty pine planked walls, bedrooms whose curtained closet "doors" hide extra blankets and pillows. The decor includes a menagerie of items including wall hangings, knickknacks, mermaids, harpoons, a ruffed grouse lampshade, even an Irish Santa Claus hoisting a mug of beer. The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom are functional in size but not huge. The two twin beds and queen bed are comfortable enough. The living room is big enough for dancing, and the juke box with its hundreds of "free play" songs makes that an inviting proposition. The cabin is not a 21st century "beach house" showpiece; rather, it harkens back to the '50s and '60s with a cozy, unpretentious, "We're just relaxing here" vibe to it. In other words, you won't feel bad if you track in a little dirt or drop a slice of pizza on the floor. While it features a big screen TV with cable, we were so cozy just relaxing in the living room or on the porch looking out to the lake we never turned it on. After our long drive from Michigan, we appreciated the laid back comfort of this cottage.
