Pentwater, Michigan
A storybook setting on a wooded hill, this two story timber house with a walk out ‘kid’s zone’ basement living and sleeping area, is the perfect setting to get away from it all. Walking distance from Bass Lake (an all sport lake) and less than a mile to three Lake Michigan public access parks or beaches make this the ideal location for a family get away (see map). There are four upstairs bedrooms, one first floor bedroom and an open children’s bedroom in the basement level so it will sleep a total of 16 people. There is a full bathroom available on every floor of our home.
The ten foot wide wrap around porch is an ideal place to sit and enjoy the morning coffee or to sit in the breeze and talk with family and friends. This is a very private setting and yet has all the amenities; cable TV, internet, landline phone service, pure reverse osmosis drinking water and full house water filtering system, microwave, new glass top stove, and washer and dryer.
The kids will love the game systems in the ‘kid zone’ living area and the whole family will enjoy evenings in the walkout screen porch on the lower level overlooking the fire pit area. The open concept living room, dining room and kitchen are ideal for entertaining. The classy antique décor of the timber house is delightful. Everything you need to enjoy your stay is available for you. A toaster, microwave, coffee maker, electronic tea pot, dishwasher, all dishes and pans, all linens and towels are available for your use. There is parking for two cars at the house and parking at the bottom of the hill for five more for your toys or cars, with total parking for 6-8 vehicles.
Whether it is walking the wooded trails behind the home, visiting the popular shopping and dining areas of Pentwater (five miles) and Ludington (10 miles), enjoying Silver Lake State Park (17 miles), or just relaxing on the porch on the wooded hilltop, everything for your family dream vacation is within reach.
Three "must-dos" before you leave:
Overall, the stay was great. We had to contact the owner a few times, and he was very responsive to our call. The house can accommodate a large group, but there is plenty of space inside and out so that you are not stepping on each other. Really enjoyed the woodsy setting too. It was great sitting out on the covered porch. Highly recommend.
This cabin exceeded our expectations! Nice location - close to various spots on Lake Michigan, downtown Pentwater, and Ludington. The cabin was clean, had fast internet, had every kind of dish/pot/utensil you could ever need. Baby friendly with a high chair and step stools. Plenty of blankets, pillows, towels. Beautiful wraparound porch with lots of seating. Even though there are close neighbors, the cabin sits atop a hill and feels secluded. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
This is a nice house for a large group.
The house sits quite remotely and you have the feeling that you are alone. Outside fire pit is wonderful. The house inside is a little noisy but that’s expected from an older home. Proximity to Lake Michigan, silver lake and Ludington was a great plus. Loved it!!
The place was great to come back to after a hard day on the golf course.
We really enjoyed the setting and the house. Being up on the hill top lent privacy and the furniture was comfy cozy in living room, dining, and bedrooms. It had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our group as well as private time away from everyone.

We are a group of friends who stayed for 4 nights at this property. It is well equipped, comfortable, clean and a good choice for those who want their own rooms! Having 3 full bathrooms was also a nice bonus. Not far from most of the places we wanted to visit and it was lovely just hanging out there and playing games at the big table! The parking was a little tricky for a large vehicle but there is plenty of parking at the bottom of the driveway for trucks or SUV's, and room for 2 small to mid-size vehicles by the house. Overall would recommend!
Although we were not on the water, we were close to beaches. We really enjoyed the privacy of those beaches too. We were also very close to shopping and attractions for our large group. Overall, the house was great! Comfortable beds, well stocked and enough bathrooms to accommodate us all! Thanks for allowing us the use of your beautiful home!
We loved the house, the owner was very responsive. The large porch was beautiful & very peaceful. The layout accommodated our family very well. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes & cookware. The location is very close to several beaches & shopping.
This is a great property to gather with family and enjoy Bass Lake ,Lake Michigan and Pentwater. What a great place to enjoy a vacation. The house is spacious and had lots of amenities. Super comfortable for our big family. The host, Jim, was very easy to work with. Loved it and would recommend it to others!
We had a large group with 4 families and chose the Lodge for our annual friendcation. We are a big crew to accommodate with lots of little kids and this place was perfect! The owner, Jim, was wonderful to work with and the location was great! Plenty of toys and fun things for the kids to do right in the yard along with an easy access to Lake Michigan just a 3 minute drive away! Highly recommend Jim's place and will be coming back in the future!
