Storybook Sunset Cottage on White Lake. Excellent Location. Dock & Kayaks.

The cottage is a charmer with its Swedish roots, yet it’s been updated functionally with a modern bath, air conditioning, and has a stocked kitchen. The backyard patio is a favorite place to relax and has a hammock, Weber Spirit grill, and a chimenea.

There are outstanding views of beautiful White Lake from the dinette’s picture window, both bedrooms, the living room, and especially the screened in porch.
** New for 2025 - Full sized washer and dryer!

The dock and 2 kayaks are across S. Shore Dr. (2 lane).
Several places nearby rent boats to fit your needs.
Duneshore Boating will even drop off and pick up right at the cottage
(tubes and stand up paddle boards as well).
Or just bring your own! The boat launch is 1 min. away (at White Lake Dr.)
Ask for recommendations upon booking.

Note: Pontoons that are rented are not allowed to go from White Lake out to Lake MI. If you want to explore Lake MI in a rented boat - only speedboats &
deck boats like from 3rd Coast Rentals are allowed.

Our proximity to everything is a stand out feature.

The cottage is just 10 minutes from Hwy. 31 and also from the charming sister towns of Whitehall & Montague.

Montague Foods has a large selection of high quality groceries, beer, and wine.
Check out the World’s Largest Weathervane before going in!
Also take advantage of the Farmers Market (and Artisan Market)
across the street on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

There are many interesting shops and restaurants in the White Lake area
to check out such as Montague’s classic Dog ‘n Suds & Whitehall’s Fetch Brewing.
Whitelake.org is a great resource for the area attractions and the Calendar of Events like the Cruz’In Classic Car Show
and those happening at the outdoor music pavilion.
They have a downloadable Visitor’s Guide.

Be sure to stop by WaterDog Outfitters (Whitehall) - a superb outdoor recreation store that also provides bike & kayak rentals.
Both Armstrong’s (Whitehall) and Johnson’s (Montague) can assist with fishing gear and advice.

to list here to see and do at the
Muskegon Lakeshore - 20 min.
www.muskegon.org/choose-
muskegon/things-to-do/
will help you build an itinerary.

Most importantly - amazing Lake Michigan with its soft sand, waves,
& dunes to climb at Duck Lake State Park - 10 min.

After enjoying the lakes and all the area has to offer - there is still the gem of a backyard/garden to kick back in!
There is plenty of comfortable seating for picnics and great conversations,
as well as a smoker, charcoal grill,
Weber Spirit propane grill,
outdoor fireplace, bocce ball,
and a super-sturdy hammock.

Sunset Cottage is a peaceful place to relax and recharge in comfort!

And - who doesn’t love gorgeous sunsets?!

Slice of heaven on White Lake!
We had a wonderful family stay (5 adults) coming back to Lake Michigan summers! The cottage was perfect - spacious enough and every detail cared for (kayaks, well-appointed kitchen, very clean, great beds and linens, etc.). Short drive to the lakeshore pier and wonderful walking/eating in the towns of Montague and Whitehall. Bike trail is great too! We will be back!!

The house is exactly as described, it is very cute and cozy. Our stay was very comfortable, the house was nicely equipped for our stay with lots of towels, extra blankets, and kitchen supplies. We were really there for the outdoor space and it didn’t disappoint, nice set up and great views, loved being right on the lake. The host is friendly and communicative, would book with them again.

cozy fun family vacation!
We really enjoyed our little vacation at the cottage! It’s small, but has everything you need. The lake view is beautiful and the yard is set up for entertainment! The home is very private and cozy, and it’s located near many kid/ family friendly activities. We went to Michigan adventure, the beach, and rented a boat from KAC. The host was very kind, stayed in touch leading up to the trip and checked in during our stay.

Great cottage on the lake
My husband and I with our adult kids stayed at the cottage over the 4th primarily because of the close proximity to my brother-in-law's cottage. We were pleased to find the cottage so cute and well equipped for our needs! The patio in the back yard with a fireplace/chiminea, hammock and plenty of seating area was an unexpected pleasure. We're extremely pleased with our decision to stay at the cottage!

Great sunset views!
Cozy retro cottage. Watch the sunset across lake white from the screened in porch. Just the right distance from town. Great for for a small girlfriends weekend. Plenty of kitchen ware but if you like to cook you might bring your own knives. Nice bedding and plenty of towels, including beach towels. Beds kinda soft for my back though.
