About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cottage to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Pure Pentwater Cottage: lake-front; fully updated; sleeps 8.
Pure Pentwater Cottage can be your vacation destination, your home away from home, or your remote office location (with high-speed internet) all four seasons of the year. The star of the show is the expansive view of Bass Lake from all the main living spaces. You'll find your whole body and mind relaxing more and more as each day passes, helped by the view and the chic, modern decor.
Summertime offers plenty of water-based fun: on-site kayak and paddle boat, or bring your own boat to dock at the cottage, plus swimming, and fishing in the sandy-bottom 524-acre all sports Bass Lake. The water depth off the dock and at the lake’s edge is approximately 3-4 feet. Enjoy the sugar-white sand beaches of Lake Michigan at the nearby Mears State Park, complete with snack stand, playground, and bathrooms. After a day on and near the water, stroll along picturesque downtown Pentwater's Main Street for shopping and ice cream. Enjoy your meals downtown or back home either grilled and seated around the large picnic table or prepared in the totally updated kitchen with all the modern conveniences (including air fryer, crockpot, Keurig coffee maker, and dishwasher). Evenings gathered on the deck's Adirondack chairs or around the gas fire pit as you watch the sunset over the lake are where memories are made.
Winter time offers the opportunity to spend hours ice fishing directly on the lake, weather-permitting, with your own equipment, or just catching up and slowing down beside the cozy fireplace. Put your feet up with a good book or enjoy a movie on the Roku TV. Winter is a quiet time in Pentwater to escape the daily hustle and bustle in favor of complete serenity, while enjoying the convenience of some local year-round restaurants and visiting nearby Ludington without the crowds.
Spring and Fall have their own natural beauty and offer the same gorgeous lake views and same rejuvenating effect. The fireplace, the fire pit, the grill, the modern kitchen, the comfy beds - they’re all awaiting your arrival. Puzzles, games, pingpong, reading, cooking, walks, and exploring the charming villages of Pentwater and Ludington are a great way to enjoy the cottage no matter which season you visit.
The cottage has three large bedrooms and sleeps 8. The main bedroom is tucked away on the main floor with a king size bed and luxurious hybrid foam mattress — relaxing and supportive for all sleep types. A full bathroom is off the main floor bedroom. Upstairs features two large bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. One of the upstairs bedrooms has a queen bed with luxurious Ghost bed mattress topper, as well as a twin bed with trundle. The other upstairs bedroom has a bunk bed and a full size bed. This bed configuration offers a range of options for just about any combination of family and friends. And the central AC/heat and a washer and dryer allow for truly year-round enjoyment.

This Pentwater cottage was perfect for our family's Thanksgiving visit. It is clean with beautiful remodeling. We appreciate that it is so close to the lake. The host is welcoming and responded to our questions in a timely manner. Five stars is well deserved.
We had a wonderful weekend staying at Pure Pentwater. The house is very clean and well maintained and had everything we could have needed. The kids toys were an awesome surprise for our family and we used them all a lot. The lake is beautiful and the sunsets were gorgeous. We hope to return again someday.
This place is the best. Location couldn’t be better for me as my parents had a place on bass lake years ago and this brought back all those great memories. This is my happy place
This was our first time staying at this property, and it was AMAZING! It was very clean, had so many amenities, looked exactly like the photos, and the location was great. The host was very kind and answered any and all questions that we had. Looking forward to coming back to Pentwater and staying at this property. I can’t say enough great things about the host and property!
Three of us guys got together at this property to enjoy the local Michigan area. The home is beautiful with incredible amenities. The hosts are wonderful and very easy to work with. The local area has plenty of activities for all ages and there are plenty of games at the property as well to play.
Very clean property. Beautiful views/sunsets. Kitchen has everything you need, including Keurig and K-cups! Plenty of room. Would definitely stay here again
We had a family weekend at Pure Pentwater to celebrate our mom and dad’s 50th anniversary. The spot was perfect for our family to gather and spend time together. Thank you!
My family has been vacationing in Pentwater(on Bass Lake) for about 30 years. This home was amazing! We spent many nights talking around the outdoor fire pit, kayaked across the lake to the channel that leads to Lake Michigan and enjoyed the sunshine on the deck.
We would love to stay again next year!
Morning coffee enjoyed on the nice deck viewing beautiful Bass Lake. Kids caught fish right off the dock and enjoyed the water. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. We would certainly stay again!
House was spotless. Wonderful location on the lake looking right into the sunset. Owner was helpful, responsive and a pleasure to with with during our stay. Would not hesitate to do it again.
My stay was wonderful! The property was exactly as described. Beautiful waterfront location and very peaceful. Not only was the property well kept and very clean but the property owner was great to work with and thought of every little detail to make my stay exceptional. I definitely recommend and will be returning for future visits to the area.
Kathryn was a fantastic host. She was quick to respond and took the time during our trip to check-in to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The home was cozy and offered a great view of the lake and sunsets. It is conveniently located to all the activities in the area. Having worked in the hotel industry, there is a fine attention to detail from cleanliness, decor, snacks to kitchen items. We will look to stay here when we return to Pentwater.
We had an amazing stay. The property is so beautiful and nothing beats the sunsets in the evening on the deck.
Our kids had a blast playing in the lake for hours -- the water is shallow near the deck for safety and good visibility.
Beds are so comfortable and it's been SPOTLESS clean the past two times we've rented. We'll be coming back!
