Old Fashioned Suite - Cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan

The Old Fashioned Suite is a quaint cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. The main room is an old log cabin. We remodeled this comfortable space into the main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, bathroom, and laundry accommodations.

Added to the front of the cabin are a new kitchen, counter for cooking/eating, and dining area. Above the living area is a roomy loft with bunk beds. Facing the lake, at the back of the cabin, is a bright and sunny sitting room with a pull-out sofa and a master bedroom with a queen-size bed.

A spacious deck faces the lake and provides a porch swing and umbrella-topped table and chairs for open-air dining. Adirondack chairs surround a large fire pit near the shoreline. Sunrises and moon showers can often be seen.

It is fun to see the large ships and sailboats as you enjoy the sight and sounds of the waves. The nearby ship canal and the Land Trust have many hiking trails and there are several sandy beaches that are accessible by foot, bike, or car. The property is located in a secluded setting far off the main road making it a wonderful quiet escape to enjoy campfires, swimming, and outside activities.

Fantastic Location

This was a great location right on Lake Michigan. We spent most evenings sitting at the shore watching and listening to the waves. It has a loft, one bedroom and one bath so it was the right size for me and my wife. The owner was easy to contact and was great tow work with, I would definitely recommend this place and would stay there again.

Relaxing in the shade!

We had a delightful stay at the Old Fashioned Suite! The check-in and check-out was simple and the cabin was very clean and well appointed to meet all of our needs. The beds were soft and comfortable and all the windows had good shades to allow for sleeping in late :)We loved sitting out on the Adirondack chairs at the water’s edge and watching the waves roll in. Would love to stay again some day!
