Pure Pentwater Cottage: lake-front; fully updated; sleeps 8.

2025 and 2026 dates now available!
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.

Come make memories to last a lifetime at Pure Pentwater Cottage.

Mid-week get a way.
Very clean, very quiet, very nice. Had all the amenities needed to cook, relax and enjoy. The beds were comfortable ( although I like a softer pillow ) and the whole decor was pleasing. The weather was typical of early November, rainy and windy, loved looking out the windows at the lake. The one warm ish non rainy afternoon , we spent on the comfy deck. All in all a place we would happily return to.

Amazing cottage on the lake!
One of the best rentals we have ever had! Beautiful cottage on a nice sized inland lake. The cottage was in excellent condition. We couldn’t ask for better hosts. Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. There were so many nice touches from Kathy that made us feel so welcome! We will be back in the summer!

A Little Slice of Paradise
Simply could not get enough of the view across Bass Lake! Loved it from sunrise to the amazing sunsets. It checked all the boxes for us including comfortable beds, convenient access to restaurants, complete kitchen, and enough room for morning Yoga. Clean with designer touches and thoughtful amenities. Definitely worth the 5 stars!

Beautiful stay on Bass Lake
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!

Beautiful Cottage Lake Stay
We absolutely loved our stay at Pentwater cottage. It was beautifully appointed and we felt right at home the minute we walked in the door. Cathy was so very helpful with questions that we had before our trip. The area has lots of fun things to do. We enjoyed live music at a local winery, shopping in downtown Pentwater and (the highlight) the amazing sunrise at the hidden gem beach. It really was an amazing long weekend to celebrate my daughter’s 25th birthday with close friends and family. Highly recommend!!

Little Slice of Heaven
We felt so welcome with the snacks and drinks available when we first arrived. Pentwater is in the middle of lots to do! We loved the quiet nature of the house but appreciated being close to lots of things! Perfect for what we were looking for! The host was quick to respond with any questions and we loved getting to know the sweet neighbors to the right of the house! It was the perfect getaway!

Wonderful Stay!
My youngest brother turned thirty and my family and I were looking to celebrate his birthday for a weekend of family fun. The home was absolutely perfect. So clean and so much to do! We were all so impressed that we agreed if we end up in Michigan again we'll be staying here! The host was very responsive and kind, the home was set up beautifully with amenities and it was spotless. Could not have asked for more!
