2 Bedroom Cottage in Fennville

Charming, quaint Lake Michigan cottage with private beach access. Located in Ganges township on scenic Lakeshore Drive in a lovely wooded setting just 100 yards from Lake Michigan. The resort village of South Haven is 12 miles to the south and Saugatuck/Douglas 7 miles to the north. Available for rent May through October. Please check calendar for minimum nights required.
The cottage is approximately 800 Square feet with a 8x10 deck, perfect for a couple or a small family. There is a large living area with peaked wood plank ceiling ,kitchen, bath and 2 bedrooms that sleep a maximum of 4. All linens except beach towels are furnished. There is a wall furnace and a new 15,000 btu window air conditioner in the LR area. Wi-Fi and cable TV are available.
An easy stroll down a gravel path takes you to stairs that access the beach. There are two stairway options, stone steps to a lower deck and then on to the beach or easier wooden stairs to the north of the stone steps. See photos of both. Just to the south of us is West Side County Park and to the north more private beach. Our beach is marked private property though Michigan law does permit "shore walkers." Please note the private beach is shared with the owners ( two old retired folks) and our family. After several years of high water on Lake Michigan the Lake levels are lower and we are again blessed with a great wide beach! We do provide beach chairs and umbrella.
The Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven area has many choices for dining, shopping, boating, golfing, theater and other vacation and cultural activities.

Summary: We enjoyed our week long stay. Cottage had a lot of space for our family of 3 and is a short walk to the beach and playground. Beach was sandy and great for swimming. Great location for seeing the sights around saugatuck and South Haven!
