Pentwater Mi - Charming Lake Michigan Cottage with Private Beach & Breathtaking Views
Welcome to your dream getaway - this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and natural beauty. Surrounded by protected forest and set on nearly an acre, this home offers unmatched tranquility, 150 feet of pristine Lake Michigan frontage, and a sprawling private beach—your very own slice of Pure Michigan.
The main level features four generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious open-concept living area with views of the lake, as well as a porch filled with natural light. The finished lower level includes an additional bedroom and bath, along with a large unfinished space—perfect for storing all your beach gear and more.
Outdoor living is exceptional here. From the screened porch and inviting front deck to the show stopping deck that extends over the dune with unobstructed views of Lake Michigan, there's a space for everyone to relax. Dine al fresco, unwind with a glass of wine at sunset, or stargaze in the stillness of the night. This is the kind of place where time slows down.
Located less than 2 miles north of town, it's an easy bike ride or beach walk to the heart of Pentwater. Arguably one of Michigan's most charming beach towns, with boutique shopping, local restaurants, a farmer's market, tennis & pickleball club, yacht club, and marina. Yet when you're at the cottage, you'll feel a world away surrounded by nature and the relaxing sound of the waves.
The property has been thoughtfully maintained with several key upgrades, including deep-set helical piers for long-term structural stability, a new roof, a new electric fireplace, and a whole-house water filtration system. With parking for up to four vehicles, this home is as practical as it is picturesque.
With a proven 20+ year track record of successful short-term rentals, and a serene natural setting, this property is both a dream second-home retreat and a savvy investment opportunity. Don't miss this rare chance to own a piece of Lake Michigan's most coveted shoreline. Buyer to verify all info.
