Walk to Lake Michigan Beach from Cottage in the Woods - *Seaside Fired Smores*

So close to Chicago and yet in a world of its own! Adorable two bedroom cottage is located on a quiet wooded lane about a half-mile walking distance to the world class beach on Lake Michigan. Enjoy nearby park with playground, basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts, performing arts theatre, horseback riding stables, golf course, and more - all within a block or two of the cottage. We have hosted guests at the cottage for over 10 years and everyone loves it.

Relax in simple comfort — you made a great choice to stay at the cottage.

The space

Adorable Beach Area Cottage for a Perfect Vacation Getaway.

With so many things virtually at your doorstep, this cottage is the Perfect Getaway any time of year. A quiet cozy cottage in a unique area within a short relaxing walk to clean, sandy, and quiet Lake Michigan Beach. Sleeps 6-8 people comfortably. The open, bright, and pleasing feel inside the cottage is enriched with elements to tie it in with the surrounding woods and coastal atmosphere. When the air conditioning is not desired, the large opened windows let in the light as well as the soothing roar of the waves over the dunes on the lakeshore and the seabreezes wafting through the trees. During the Autumn and Winter seasons, a roaring fire in the fireplace completes the ambience of the wooded wonderland.

WHAT'S PROVIDED

The entire cottage space is included for our guests' use. Bed, bath, and kitchen linens are provided as well as kitchen dinnerware, cookware, silverware, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave oven. The only items guests really need to bring are their clothes, swimming and other sporting gear, and any food items they wish to consume during their stay. In addition to the newly remodeled bathroom inside, the outside shower provides guests the chance to rinse off al fresco upon returning from the beach. Speaking of the beach, this property comes with beach rights, so you will have access to the exclusive, beautiful beach that only neighborhood residents and guests enjoy. This beach also offers the option of having a beach fire to roast hot dogs and smores and enjoy a flickering flame under the twinkling stars at night (we will provide you with the simple directions to get a fire permit).
Other things to note

Rates vary depending on week, weekend, or week-night stay and holidays.
