Shelby, Michigan
Nestled on a sandy dune, just a few easy steps from beautiful Lake Michigan, Blue View Cottage is a perfect family retreat. A vintage A frame, it's been completely renovated to house 8 people comfortably. It maintains a rustic charm, while providing brand new amenities.
Surrounded by sandy dunes and forests for exploring and hiking, Blue View provides easy access to all of the glory of Great Lakes activities, swimming in the clean clear water, fishing, boating, glorious sunsets and campfires on the beach. Loads of adventures await young and old alike in the villages of Pentwater and Silver Lake.
The cottage has whitewashed rafters, rustic barn floors, a new kitchen with farmhouse sink and finishes. Two cozy queen bedrooms look out on the sand dunes downstairs and Lake Michigan upstairs. There is also an upstairs bedroom that sleeps four in new twin beds.
The original Knotty Pine living room looks out on a deck and a short flat path to Lake Michigan. Both upstairs and downstairs decks provide panoramic views of the lake, perfect for watching freighters, sailboats and glorious sunsets.
Beach is never overly busy even on holiday weekends. Occasionally owners use the adjacent beach when visiting their cottage located up the dune. Second cottage may be available groups of more than eight, contact owners if you need more space.
Plan a week in Michigan that will make memories forever.
My sister and I had a lovely time at the cottage.
This cottage has great beach access and a great beach! Take your beach chair and a good book and relax the day away! Pat and Diana are great hosts and always respond quickly to all questions.
As usual, we loved our stay at Patrick's place. Great location, fabulous house, wonderful hosts!
Pat and Diana are great hosts and this is the perfect location for a Lake Michigan beach vacation. This was our fourth stay at Blueview and we enjoyed the weather and views all week long. The beach is perfect and this cottage is steps away from the shore. Plenty of towels, comfy beds and more.
Cannot beat the location, the beach access, and the neighborhood. It's tranquility on lake Michigan to the max. It was really a beautiful beach and the home did accomodate our family of 5 plus dog well. We had a fantastic week and really left sun drenched and happy. We felt the house was a bit more rustic than we appreciated from the listing. Specifically, It has no insulation which required the intermittent use of turbo fan heaters (provided) all night. Compounding this the blankets provided in the loft bedroom (4 twin beds) were paper thin and didn't provide ample warmth. Additionally, there are NO extra towels or blankets provided so be sure to have some on you. It's clear that this is a rental designed for maximum profit not an owners vacation home. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just plan accordingly. If middle lake Michigan coast is your desire this is really a great location. Not sure we would stay there again, but we would definitely recommend it!
Enjoyed our relaxing stay at this great lakefront location.
The cottage is located in a perfect spot. A few minutes from Stoney and not to far for bigger cities like Pentwater or Ludington. We enjoyed walking on the beach and down the street. We loved the local bakers and road side farmers stands. All in all it was a great vacation!
Love this little cabin and the beach gets bigger every year. Simple, clean and right on the water. Perfect for us!
Quaint cottage on an unforgettable private beach property located just south of Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Three generations of our family had a wonderful stay including campfires, lake swimming, and beautiful sunsets. Close to lots of other fun that we enjoyed including tubing the Stoney River, Dune rides with Mac and multiple trips to the Whippy Dip for any kind of ice cream you could want. The no frills cottage handles the basics with the amazing location being the draw.
Great little getaway with our dogs. We had a hard time getting them back in the car to head home.
This beach home was just what we needed for a relaxing weekend away. The pictures do not do this place justice and in fact the space felt bigger than we were anticipating. The best part is the private beach that is just steps from the back door of the property. Could not recommend this place enough. Just an FYI that while there is wifi, due to location it is not strong enough to support most web activity. If you were planning to work remote from this cabin I'd recommend working from a coffee shop in one of the many nearby towns.
Beautiful property directly on the beach!
