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. A brand new Weber Spirit grill has been added for the 2021 season too!

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.

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 Drive-In & 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.

Excellent communication
Had a few questions and LuAnn was always a great help right down to finding us help with our truck. Lovely location only downside was having to cross the street to get to the lake… excellent waterpark/park down the road to hang out.

September Sunset
We stayed at the Sunset Cottage for a week in September and had a wonderful time. The cottage is small, but comfortable, and the beds are especially nice. We loved the sunsets, absolutely gorgeous and the fire pit in the front across from the lake provided a lovely bonfire for s’mores. The grocery store was close, and we cooked several meals with the well equipped kitchen. LuAnn recommended Duneshore boating for a rental pontoon, and we had a nice pier to dock it for the week. Good for cruising the lake and fishing. LuAnn was a wonderful host and went over and above to make our stay memorable! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

Kayaking, Dune Running, and Craft Beer
The property was great - clean, functional, and well stocked for all of our needs. There is a nice unobstructed view of White Lake from the front sun room. We stayed while kayaking the White River and running the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in our Jeep. There are a couple of breweries near by to unwind and pick out your dinner destination.

Exactly what we needed
We came from out of town to visit relatives located in the area. From the minute we booked this cottage, the property owner was in constant communication and even helped us rent a pontoon boat. At one point we accidentally locked ourselves out of the house and she was there within minutes. The cottage was surprisingly spacious. The two beds were super comfy and even the futon was perfect for the kids. Kitchen was larger than expected and it was stocked with anything we needed to cook with. The back yard had a new weber grill and it was very quaint and private. We will definitely book this place again.

Lovely cottage
Wonderful little cottage. Nice quiet neighborhood with beautiful views of White Lake. Also close to lots of fun things to do and parks to explore. Our teenagers spent tons of time across the street on the dock fishing and in the kayaks provided on the lake. The owner was very responsive and helpful. She made everything so easy for us. Thanks for a very nice vacation!

A Perfect Little Oasis
From selecting this cottage to leaving, LuAnn was the perfect host! We were hoping to check in a little early, and she made it happen. She checked in to make sure we never needed anything, and even gave us details on the friendly neighbors. White Lake is more of a fishing lake, but the dock was a place for a busy mom and RN to get some much needed natural Vitamin D and peace and quiet. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked! The backyard oasis had a grill, hammock, and so much more. Even though the houses are close, we never heard either neighbor. The air conditioning is a major plus. It’s cute, quaint, and totally perfect.
