Lake Michigan Beachfront, Remodeled, close to Tunnel of Trees and Harbor Springs

Welcome to your Hideaway at Sturgeon Bay! Just north of Cross Village and the
Tunnel of Trees, an inviting Cottage awaits - freshly renovated, nearly everything
is new! This cottage is nestled in the darkest area of the lower peninsula for your
star gazing pleasure. It is also possible to see the Northern Lights and the Milky
Way from the beach as you enjoy your private lake access.

On the deck is a new, large Weber BBQ gas grill for your use. Down 15 steps, you
will find an expansive, uncrowded beach with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs.
Being on both Lake Michigan and Sturgeon Bay has its perks! The water is very
clean, with a nice, sandy bottom. You will see two lighthouses from the shore and
the freighters sailing by in the distance. It is so shallow by the shore; you can
comfortably walk 100+ yards into the lake.

Enjoy your morning coffee with a stunning view of Lake Michigan and
Waugoshance Point from the living room windows. The new kitchen has everything
you need: large refrigerator with ice maker, gas stove, microwave, KitchenAid
Mixer, Bosch dishwasher, toaster, blender and coffee maker. Reverse Osmosis
water is also available in the refrigerator and at the kitchen sink, also new utensils
and dishes. A new washer and dryer are on site for your use. There is also
unlimited (on-demand) hot water.

Comfortable new beds, topped with 3-inch memory foam, and top-rated LL Bean
and Land’s End bedding finished with 4 full size comfy pillows on each bed. Two
full baths. Excellent high-speed Wi-Fi, 65-inch HD smart tv, built-in USB ports in
kitchen, living room and nightstands should easily keep all of your electronics
charged and connected.

Note: The walk-out basement is being remodeled and adds a King bed, Full bath, and additional living space, available Summer 2024. This is included in the Bed/Bath Room count of 3/3, and provides sleeping arrangements for 8 total. Photos will be updated later this Spring!

Wilderness State Park, located at the end of the driveway, adds another 26 miles
of shoreline and 10,512 acres of outdoor fun. Wilderness State Park has hiking
trails, camping, bike riding, boating, bird watching, cross country skiing and
snowmobiling. For wintertime activities, you will be just 20 minutes from downhill skiing and snowboarding at Nub’s Knob and Boyne Highlands. You will also be a 30-minute drive to the Mackinac Bridge and the Mackinac Island Ferries. Harbor Springs is about a 30 minute drive and Petosky is about 40 minutes. Stop in on the quaint towns of Cross Village and Good Hart on the way through the "Tunnel of Trees".

Relaxing cottage on Sturgeon Bay
This cottage is very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Nice beds. The beach was amazing just a short walk from the house. Views of the night sky from the back porch were beautiful. We would definitely stay here again should we come to this area. Thank you Al and Cecelia for responding quickly to our needs.

Best Beach on Lake Michigan!
Al and Cecilia were great hosts! Great communication and easy check in process. Listing is as described and even better in person. They have done a lovely job updating the home. Kitchen is well stocked for any cooking needs. Why go out when you have the best view! I’ve vacationed to the area since I was a child and this beach is still not known to the masses, some days we were the only ones out there. Definitely listen to the advice in the book if you bring your dog and keeping them leashed, this area is vast wilderness and lots of wildlife to catch their attention. Recommend bringing a long lead with you for beach time so your dog can enjoy swimming and the beach safely. Can’t wait to book with you all again!

Lake Michigan dream
The home was very clean and homeowners communicated proactively. Amenities were far above my expectations from previous VRBO rentals. We loved being able to sit on the deck or at the beach to watch the water, make sandcastles and splash. Every part of the home is well thought out for what a family needs - including the dog. I always appreciate reviews that give proximity. Leg's Inn and Tunnel of Trees is less than 15 min away, Mackinaw City is 30 min away, Thorne Swift Nature Preserve is about 30 min away. You can't get any closer to Wilderness State Park without being in the park. Without hesitation, I would stay here again.

Huge Sandy Beach
Loved staying at this one. We all had comfortable beds. Most everything seemed new. The sunsets were beautiful. The kitchen has everything you would need. We really enjoyed the state park and the miles of uncrowded beach from the house to the park. We will be back for sure. 5 stars

Great Beach Getaway
This place was perfect for our girls’ getaway. We picked it because we stayed at a place down the road a few years ago and we love the location - right on one of the best beaches on Lake Michigan and next to a state park. This place was so much nicer than the one we rented before - the pictures and descriptions really don’t do it justice. Everything is brand new! We ate in a couple of nights and the kitchen was a joy to cook in. There were just three of us, but between the large stove/oven and the Weber grill, you could feed a dozen people easily. There’s a big dining table that seats 10, so we would definitely consider renting it again for a larger family gathering. The highlight is the beach. It’s wide with soft sand. The water is clear. You can hang out on the sand bars or go into to the deeper water. We walked south on the beach for quite a ways without seeing anyone or without coming to the end of the beach. It’s a short walk on the beach to the north to trailheads into the state park, where there are acres of trails to explore. The owners provided very comfortable new Adirondack chairs and a fire pit and wood for night time hangouts on the beach. Sunsets were gorgeous and we saw lots of stars. We even saw the Northern Lights! The beds were very comfortable and it’s a very quiet area, so we all slept well. And there’s a tankless water heater, so we had plenty of hot water for showers. The owners are very gracious and helpful.
