I almost don't want to say anything about how beautiful it is along this stretch of Lake Michigan so people will not want to go there, but the fact is that it is amazing. It's hard to explain how magical it is there, really. The 'Lakefront Beach Resort' was retro, but not rundown, and very clean and well-appointed. The hosts even provided a thoughtful and delicious welcome basket. Just a short drive to Montague/Whitehall, and the Silver Lake Dunes, Muskegon, Pentwater, and Ludington are not too much farther away. Nice, reasonably priced golf course nearby, too. Just a heads up that when they say the cell service is rough, they absolutely mean it (Verizon). All in all, we'd highly recommend a stay! ##### Michael A. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Charles M. 10 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Disappointing The A/C was substandard. The house was smaller than anticipated. Main dining area was in the sunroom and cramped. The lower floor was musty smelling and the whole house was really dated. We had 7 adults and 1 infant. Beds were adequate and linens were clean. Access to the beach was treacherous as you have to climb over sea wall comprised of giant rocks. . Lastly, you only have access to maybe 25% of the beach. Pay close attention to the property line and understand your being watched on the beach camera. The area and nearby town was great, restaurants and grocery are close. One more thing, only 1 curbside trash can. ##### Charles M.

You just can't describe the lovely views from the deck! The house is very clean, great location - short walk to the beach at Meinert Park. We had a blast on the kayaks/paddle boards and used the wagon to haul our stuff to the beach. Mother nature definitely threw us some curves for our week here, but we loved playing games from the covered porch. We explored Montague and several other nearby towns.

There was a minor issue with one of the A/C units and they were right on top of it. Second, such a great layout for groups with lots of areas to spread out and the decks are beyond amazing! While the kitchen is small, it is decently stocked and having the second fridge and bar area in the lower area alleviated a lot of kitchen congestion. Great house! Beautiful sunsets! ##### judy b.

Updates throughout, while still maintaining the charm of vacation days past. So many places to hang out, but we just wanted to be out on the deck as much as possible! Sitting in a hammock watching a spectacular sun set is the best. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves is so relaxing. House is immaculately clean. Hosts are so welcoming. Beaches to walk to in both directions - loved climbing the dunes. A perfect summer getaway! ##### Deborah R.

Dawn could not have been more communicative and accommodating wherever needed. The cottage is right on the lake, it felt very private, and the double deck was amazing for adults and children alike. My parents, my husband and infant, and my sister's family including two elementary school aged boys stayed here for about a week. We had ample space to socialize as well as go off to get some alone time. The lower floor with two bedrooms and showered was like a separate residence for my sister's family, it was the perfect arrangement. We hope to stay here again. My mother, in particular, who is going through treatment for GBM, had the most memorable time, and that was our primary goal. ##### Angel R.

We sooooo enjoyed our stay! You won’t find a better place to enjoy sunsets every single night! The communication with the owner is phenomenal. The house is clean, spacious, has very comfortable mattresses, and you have every kitchen essential you will need and more! All seven of us took baths/showers in a row one night and we never ran out of hot water. The double deck is an outdoor oasis with shaded seating, lounge chairs for the sun, table with chairs and umbrella for enjoying eating outdoors, fire pit, grill, Adirondack chairs and my grandsons’ favorite - a sandbox with awesome toys! My grown sons enjoyed kayaking every single day. We made a short walk to the beach and enjoyed playing in the water and sand. This is a place we would love to come back to every summer! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 ---
