Grand Haven cottage description
Seeking a Lake Michigan cottage with spectacular views of the Lake and sunsets from your deck Pair-A-Dice is the quaint cottage in Grand Haven, Michigan on the quiet, peaceful south section of Highland Park just for you and your family and friends.

You have two dedicated Pairadice parking spots located on the top lot. Here you will find your stairs leading you to Pairadice over looking Lake Michigan.

Your cottage is a three-minute drive todowntown Grand Haven. Or better yet, your boardwalk leads you to the beach and lake. Take a morning 15-minute walk connecting to the public boardwalk leading to the Grand Haven Pier and city waterfront. Return latter tonight to see the free Musical Fountain show at dusk. During your walks, you will experience the beautiful vistas of Lake Michigan and the Grand River along your way.

Built in 1906, the cottage is a historic landmark in Highland Park. Pair-A-Dice retains much of its original charm in this beautiful setting . More than 100 cottages are tucked in the sand dunes connecting to a system of boardwalks and walkways built throughout the natural preserve. Pair-A-Dice, is of the few cottages providing a front row view overlooking Lake Michigan and her beach, 24 hours a day enjoy the lake life especially the unique late evening sunsets from your private deck while you drink, dine and scream fo ice cream. For quick, safe, and easy access, just step on down the Highland Park Boardwalk with stairs to arrive at your beach.

Enjoy watching the Grand Haven Pier’s catwalk lite up at night looking like a string of pearls. Take a midnight stroll through Highland Park or dip in the lake below. Fall asleep with the sound of the waves and enjoy the cool fresh lake breeze. Awaken to the romantic sound of the Pier’s foghorn on the mornings the boaters and fishermen need visual assistance.

A screened-in front porch, with an attached deck, are ideal for reading, sunset watching, and experiencing the fall storms as they rumble in over Lake Michigan. Please close the windows or you will get wet. There is a small back porch for storage, for your bikes, coolers, beach bags, fishing poles and kites.

Pairadice offers five bedrooms, one full bath downstairs and one full bathroom upstairs. The upstairs has a deluxe new bathroom with a separate shower/bath and toilet with vanity. Also, this addition added a bedroom off the bathroom hallway. Three bedrooms have full beds, one bedroom has a set of twin beds and a fifth bedroom has sailor boys and girls bunk beds. The cottage sleeps eight adults and two children comfortably. Two bedrooms have lake views while you are resting in bed. The new addition bedroom overlooks the protected wooded sand dune nature preserve

September is the locals’ time to be swimming and fishing for Salmon in the Lake. Often the water is warmer than the air and the waves are perfect for body surfing, or watching the surfers. The beach crowds are gone however the city is still open with mostly local characters. The renowned lake getaway of Grand Haven is another must-see spot along Michigan’s Lower Peninsula on the West Coast. Visitors can choose from Grand Haven City Beach, Grand Haven State Park, or North Beach Park, which is just north of Grand Haven in Ferrysburg. For some hidden gems during peak season, you can also head to Olive Shores Park, Buchanan Beach, Rosy Mound Natural Area, or Windsnest Park. Staying in Grand Haven means you're never far from a natural sunbathing spot, a refreshing swim, a charming lighthouse, and stunning sunsets.

    What an amazing place to stay!The cottage was cozy and so, so clean! The views of Lake Michigan were beautiful from inside the cottage as well as on the deck. The sunset lasted for a long time, and we enjoyed every bit of it!We walked to downtown each day for coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening. There are plenty of eateries. There is something for everyone.It was a short walk to the beach accessible by stairs and a street crossing.It was a pleasure to meet the owner! He was very accommodating and personable. We would not hesitate to recommend this location to anyone looking to stay in Grand Haven!The cottage had everything we were wanting in Grand Haven, and we hope to be back soon!

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming cottage, which is over 100 years old! It provided plenty of room for our family and offered stunning views of Lake Michigan, including the Grand Haven lighthouse and breathtaking sunsets. We loved learning about the history of the cottage and the surrounding association, which added a special touch to our experience. Jay was an outstanding host, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can’t wait to come back!

    The view of the lake from this property was amazing. The old, cottage feel was charming and reminiscent of ages past. Our cottage was well stocked and very comfortable and very clean. I would definitely return here for future get aways. Our guest from Arizona was so impressed with the beauty and charm of staying so near to Lake Michigan. Thank you to our host, Jay!
