Lower Herring Lake is just a hop, skip and jump away from this sweet, virtually move-in ready, two bedroom cottage in Benzie County’s Elberta Resort community. Gaze at the lake from most rooms, take in the water views from the backyard patio, or relax on the covered front porch. This tastefully decorated cottage has a bright interior and offers an open kitchen and living room layout with a wood-burning fireplace for extra heat and easy-care laminate and tile floors. Most furnishings are negotiable, and the home is wheelchair accessible. Mature trees around the perimeter offer shade, and the campfire ring is ready for s’mores and singalongs. Cottagers enjoy the wonderful paddling, boating and fishing here. Nearby, there’s a public boat launch with a small parking area for your convenience. A dune separates the lake from Lake Michigan, with an outlet that leads to the Big Water. The Lower Herring Lake Association works to ensure the integrity of the lake for future enjoyment.
