Pure Pentwater Cottage can be your vacation destination, your home away from home, or your remote office location (with high-speed internet) all four seasons of the year. The star of the show is the expansive view of Bass Lake from all the main living spaces. You'll find your whole body and mind relaxing more and more as each day passes, helped by the view and the chic, modern decor.

Summertime offers plenty of water-based fun: on-site kayak and paddle boat, or bring your own boat todock at the cottage, plus swimming, and fishing in the sandy-bottom 524-acre all sports Bass Lake. The water depth off the dock and at the lake’s edge is approximately 3-4 feet. Enjoy the sugar-white sand beaches of Lake Michigan at the nearby Mears State Park, complete with snack stand, playground, and bathrooms. After a day on and near the water, stroll along picturesque downtown Pentwater's Main Street for shopping and ice cream. Enjoy your meals downtown or back home either grilled and seated around the large picnic table or prepared in the totally updated kitchen with all the modern conveniences (including air fryer, crockpot, Keurig coffee maker, and dishwasher). Evenings gathered on the deck's Adirondack chairs or around the gas fire pit as you watch the sunset over the lake are where memories are made.

Winter time offers the opportunity to spend hours ice fishing directly on the lake, weather-permitting, with your own equipment, or just catching up and slowing down beside the cozy fireplace. Put your feet up with a good book or enjoy a movie on the Roku TV. Winter is a quiet time in Pentwater to escape the daily hustle and bustle in favor of complete serenity, while enjoying the convenience of some local year-round restaurants and visiting nearby Ludington without the crowds.

Spring and Fall have their own natural beauty and offer the same gorgeous lake views and same rejuvenating effect. The fireplace, the fire pit, the grill, the modern kitchen, the comfy beds - they’re all awaiting your arrival. Puzzles, games, pingpong, reading, cooking, walks, and exploring the charming villages of Pentwater and Ludington are a great way to enjoy the cottage no matter which season you visit.

The cottage has three large bedrooms and sleeps 8. The main bedroom is tucked away on the main floor with a king size bed and luxurious hybrid foam mattress — relaxing and supportive for all sleep types. A full bathroom is off the main floor bedroom. Upstairs features two large bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. One of the upstairs bedrooms has a queen bed with luxurious Ghost bed mattress topper, as well as a twin bed with trundle. The other upstairs bedroom has a bunk bed and a full size bed. This bed configuration offers a range of options for just about any combination of family and friends. And the central AC/heat and a washer and dryer allow for truly year-round enjoyment.

Come make memories to last a lifetime at Pure Pentwater Cottage.

The kids toys were an awesome surprise for our family and we used them all a lot. The lake is beautiful and the sunsets were gorgeous. We hope to return again someday.

    The cottage was the perfect size for us. Watched sunsets on the deck almost every night. We were so impressed with how well appointed the place was. Plus a welcome basket of goodies! We loved that we could rent a kayak for the week as well as a pontoon boat for a day from Ferwerdas across the lake. The owners also clued us in on a great beach nearby that we loved. Location was perfect for getting to Pentwater as well as Silver lake.Thanks for a great week!

    My dad, husband and my brother’s family stayed at the Pure Pentwater cottage. The cottage was not only in a perfect location (close to Lake Michigan beaches, downtown Pentwater, Ludington and Silver Lake) but the home itself was so cozy and comfortable. Bass lake was perfect. Warm shallow water with sandy bottom and the best part is the ability to kayak through the outlet which opens up to Lake Michigan. The cottage was beautifully decorated, well equipped and super clean. We were so comfortable. We had such a wonderful stay and the neighbors and community are super nice.

    This was an excellent place to stay for the week. Honestly, I think it was the nicest VRBO I've stayed at for the similar cost. It was a week away from the grind with my husband, and 3 adult children, and one spouse. The boys caught fish of decent size from the dock and also from out boat, and absolutely loved it. The girls kicked back and shopped in adorable Pentwater, read and got some sun. We all enjoyed the fire pit for smores as well. The cleanliness and extras (TP, napkins, ketchup, wine!) were just such a welcoming touch and the decor was well done and modern. Communication with the owner was fabulous. My kids are already asking to come back!

    Kathryn was a fantastic host. She was quick to respond and took the time during our trip to check-in to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The home was cozy and offered a great view of the lake and sunsets. It is conveniently located to all the activities in the area. Having worked in the hotel industry, there is a fine attention to detail from cleanliness, decor, snacks to kitchen items. We will look to stay here when we return to Pentwater.

    Very clean, very quiet, very nice. Had all the amenities needed to cook, relax and enjoy. The beds were comfortable ( although I like a softer pillow ) and the whole decor was pleasing. The weather was typical of early November, rainy and windy, loved looking out the windows at the lake. The one warm ish non rainy afternoon , we spent on the comfy deck. All in all a place we would happily return to.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Pentwater cottage. It was beautifully appointed and we felt right at home the minute we walked in the door. Cathy was so very helpful with questions that we had before our trip. The area has lots of fun things to do. We enjoyed live music at a local winery, shopping in downtown Pentwater and (the highlight) the amazing sunrise at the hidden gem beach. It really was an amazing long weekend to celebrate my daughter’s 25th birthday with close friends and family. Highly recommend!!

    The house and property are wonderful, just as described and pictured. So many personal touches from the host made the stay extra nice. We chose this listing for the location as we were in town to attend the Cooper Allen concert at the venue Stix in Ludington. It was a quick, easy drive and we all highly recommend it! The food is amazing and they even have a bowling alley for family fun. We were blessed with the most gorgeous weather, low 80’s and sunny everyday and enjoyed walking around downtown Ludington and spending a day at Stearns beach as well as shopping in downtown Pentwater. The best part was relaxing and enjoying time at the Pure Pentwater Cottage. We floated, kayaked, soaked up the beautiful views by the water and had a great time playing ping pong! We did experience a couple “bumps” in our stay however the host Kathy contacted a service repair person quickly and kept us updated on the status consistently. This did not take away from having an amazing time and we appreciated Kathy’s efforts. We definitely look forward to returning and can’t wait to see the area in the cooler months!

    We booked our stay with our daughters and their families to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We booked the property based on the space, location and the beautiful interior and exterior spaces. We were thrilled as soon as we arrived and enjoyed the home, yard and lake every single day and evening. Our hosts clearly thought of all the details-extra coffee pods, lots of towels, ample cooking utensils, the list goes on. The bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable and the paddle boat and kayak were used and enjoyed by our whole crew from eldest to our two year old grandson. We brought our small boat and used it on the lake for fishing, Tubing and sunset cruise's. We would highly recommend a stay At Pure Pentwater Cottage!
