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.

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.

Stunning!
This house is amazing! Its beautiful and very clean. The beach is stunning, and the water was great, there is a large area of sand and the kids swam and played soccer on the beach everyday. We were a couple of families that included kids and the house is very spacious. The bunk room was excellent for the kiddos. We really enjoyed the deck that has a perfect view of the lake, as well as their area off to the side where you can bonfire. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Beach House
125 steps to the Beach! The house accommodated our group of 10 adults and 3 children very nicely. The views of the lake are spectacular and location private yet easy to get to and close to town. The kitchen is well equipped for large meal preparation and service. The indoor and outdoor dining areas are great and allow individuals to sit in or our and still be part of the meal. Two master suite bedrooms worked out great and the other two baths are nice for others. The great room kitchen, dining and family area has a nice lake view. The upper and lower deck areas are comfortable and relaxing. The fire pit area is a bonus that was well enjoyed (along with the s'mores). The hosts are great and accessible if there is an issue or question. Lots to do in the area if you want to leave the beach house, but if you want to simply stay in and relay on the porch or beach you can. All of us in our group highly recommend this property.

The space was perfect for our three generation family. The children loved the beaches and campfires. I loved the lounge chair overlooking beaches and sunsets. Cooking was easy in spacious kitchen. Thank you for s’mores! Only surprise was long climb to beach which was too much for older grandma. Thanks for a great vacation!
