Private Retreat w/ Awesome Views and Lake Michigan Access

This retreat comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests in a spacious, multi-level cottage with two independent entrances. The first level features an independent guest space with two queen bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a full bath, and a cozy living/dining area opening to a spacious deck overlooking the wooded dune. This space has a private entrance. Exterior stairs lead to the upper-level accommodations with a separate entrance.

The spacious first floor provides plenty of communal space for all to gather. The well-equipped kitchen with stainless appliances opens to the dining area positioned just inside the sliders leading to another roomy deck overlooking the picturesque dune with views of Lake Macatawa. The roomy living room features ample seating and a flat-screen TV. A half bath and laundry can be found on this floor as well.

Wander to the next level where you will find a floor of bedrooms, including the master suite complete with a queen bed, attached bath, and walk-in shower. An additional bedroom on this floor has a queen bed and a twin daybed with trundle. The connecting hallway leads to an additional deck. Once you reach the top floor, you will find a perfect hangout space for kids and adults alike. This floor features plenty of sleeping options with a twin over full bunk and a twin daybed with trundle. Kids will love the TV area with bean bag chairs and views from this floor's additional deck.

Don't miss the million-dollar view from the top-level lookout! Follow the exterior spiral stairs to enjoy the panoramic bird's eye view of Lake Michigan, Lake Macatawa, and the surrounding dunes and landscape.

Amazing Experience
Had an amazing bachelor party golf trip here. Plenty of space for 14 grown men with amazing views, beach access, and a great accessible downtown district. I could not recommend this property enough.
