What's special

Updated plumbingNew deckRenovated kitchen and bathNew flooring

Weekends at Lake Michigan start here. Tucked into the trees near Silver Lake, this fully renovated 2-bedroom cottage is made for slow mornings, beach walks and dinner on the deck. Three lots totaling approximately .67 acres give you privacy and room to breathe, with private association beach access on Lake Michigan just a short walk away. The work is already done: renovated kitchen and bath, new flooring, new deck, updated plumbing, professional foundation stabilization, a 2025 tankless water heater and a 2025 heat pump/AC mini-split. Step out onto a deck surrounded by woods, then head to the dunes, Silver Lake State Park or Little Sable Point Lighthouse. Keep it as your own getaway, rent it out when you're not using it, or do both. Your Lake Michigan escape is ready when you are.
