Stunning 8 Bedroom Bay Cottage Where Almost Every Room Has a Bay View

Beautiful cottage in premier location on the Bay side of historic Bay View, MI.

Relax on the covered wrap around porch while sipping a drink and watching the stunning Bay View sunsets over the water. This 3700 plus square foot cottage is so large that 15 people can have privacy and alone time in any number of the rooms, including the large TV/Living room, the back deck, the wrap around front porch, the dining rooms, the kitchen, several other porches on the top floor, or in any of the lovely bedrooms. Nicely decorated throughout. There is a wet bar off of the kitchen with a mini fridge. There is a back deck with a gas grill for your use. Almost every bedroom has its own sink, and all have clean linens, towels, heater, luggage rack and room fan provided. There is no air conditioning. The breezes off of the lake keep this home cool.

It is one of the the largest cottages in Bay View and was one of the first to be built originally as a lodge, housing people while they built their cottages, so there are numbers on all the doors of the rooms. The woodwork throughout the cottage is stunning. If you like an historic cottage you will love this one! Bay View is noted for its beauty. There are parks, a Boys and Girls Club and the John M. Hall Auditorium located up on the hill which offers performances from music to films to plays to recitals.
