Montague, Michigan
This Lake Michigan house is perfect for a family vacation. Located on a dune on Lake Michigan just one mile north of White Lake, the setting and views are incredible.
Our home has a newly remodeled kitchen (2020) all rooms painted (2020) and updated beddings. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The entry level has two bedrooms and a full bath. One of these bedrooms has 2 double beds and the other has 4 double beds (two of them bunked). The washer and dryer are also on the entry level. The main floor is an open concept area with modern kitchen, dining area, living room and den. That level has the master bedroom with a queen bed and a full bath. There is also a pull out sofa bed in the den. A small loft (accessible via a spiral staircase) offers great views; a nice area to read a good book or playing a game. We have also added a whole house generator (2019)
Full amenities inside include all the normal appliances: refrigerator, stove/ oven, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer, air conditioning, on demand hot water, cable TV, and Wi-Fi internet access. There is also a separate beverage cooler.
The home is in a quiet area that you enter through a wooded drive from the east. There is only one neighbor to the south, a large grass/wooded dune is to the north, and beautiful Lake Michigan to the west. The outside area is equipped for all the Lake Michigan area enjoyment. There is a fire pit on the back-side (wooded side) of property with Adirondack chairs. There is a good size deck on the front side of the cottage with Weber Genesis II three burner gas grill (2020) and outside eating space and lounging for 8 . There is also a bluff deck that sits on the precipice of the dune (about 150 ft from the cottage) with seating and panoramic views of Lake Michigan. Finally, the beach offers 110 ft of private frontage. Getting to the beach takes about 100 steps down the stairs to the waterfront, so make sure to take some water, soda, or an adult beverage with you. Beach chairs are stored in unit at the waterfront.
For our family and friends, we'd start the morning with coffee on the upper deck while the sun rose over our backs. As the sun climbed, we'd head down to the beach with our coolers and snacks for an afternoon on the shore. Later in the day, we'd gather at the "cottage deck" for appetizers and dinner. Then we'd head back to the upper deck to watch the sun set... nothing else like it on earth. The evening concluded with a bonfire and of course S'mores.
Rain can't even dampen the mood with plenty of puzzles, games, or movies to keep the family happy.
Beyond the house, Old Channel Trail Golf Course is a mile to the North and the Old Channel Inn (lunch/dinner) is a mile south. White Hall & Montague are a 15 minute drive for more restaurants, movies or other activities. Silver Lake (Sand Dune rides, etc) is about 30 minutes north. Further north are Pentwater or Ludington or South to Muskegon or Grand Haven for more adventures. (20/45 minute drive).
We welcome you to spend a week or two at our house. We know that you will enjoy it!
Our first trip to Lake Michigan was awesome! The house was as advertised and well-appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals, and the owners were easy to work with. We loved playing in the lake during the day and sitting on the upper deck in the evening to watch the sunset. It was a perfect trip for my family and we look forward to our next visit to Lake Michigan. I highly recommend!
Our annual Lake Michigan gathering of three generations to celebrate summer, Labor Day and several birthdays found a perfect location here. Fabulous views from the high bluff and the perfect beach and waves were just what we hoped for. The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for gourmet dinners, long playful beach time and peaceful evenings. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing this special location.
Everything was fabulous. House well stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend. Thanks for a wonderful time.
This property provided ten days of pure bliss, friendly neighbors, beautiful views, a clean shoreline, and quiet surroundings for a stress-free stay. The bonus is the towns of Whitehall-Montague. These towns are about 15 minutes from the property and provide excellent restaurants and entertainment. If you want to stay on property, the Saturday Farmer Markets in either Montague or Muskegon offers all the food and drink to stock the outfitted kitchen with a gas grill to stay in and entertain for breakfast, supper, or dinner. Host Mark has an incredible place if quiet settings, beautiful views, and friendly surroundings are your ideal vacation.
This is a heavenly location and home- beautifully maintained and situated atop a bluff with incredible views from the deck and wonderful sand beach and swimming. Our 3-generation family vacation could not have been better!
This is a gorgeous rental. The house is spacious and very well appointed. We had plenty of room for our family of 7. The beach is quite a walk down the stairs but well worth it. The section of private beach is beautiful and very clean. Chairs and sand toys available on the beach is a plus. The rental location is close to lots of outside things to do. We all loved our time together in this location. I would definitely consider staying again!
Clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen, AMAZING view of Lake Michigan. Owner very friendly and responsive. We had a fabulous time and certainly hope to return.
Everything we needed for a huge family feast - now a tradition- property is spotless and generously provisioned; Mark responded instantly to even smallest Qs - just a top rate experience
This was our second stay at Serenity on the Lake. It is such is a beautiful home with a breathtaking view of Lake Michigan. It is decorated very tastefully making it a pleasant and welcoming place to enjoy a little rest and relaxation. It is perfect in every way and we are already looking forward to our next visit. :-)
The house overlooks the Lake where we watched stunning sunsets every night. Newly remodeled, the house has every amenity you could want.
Enjoyed everything about this property!
The host, house and location was stellar in every way. Two weeks of tranquility demanded a repeat journey next year.
This property is beautiful, comfortable, clean, charming and in the perfect location. This is our second year and I've already reserved the same week in 2023. Not only do my husband and I love this week of vacation but so do our adult children, our niece, their significant others. Mark and family are excellent hosts! Highly recommend staying here. We're thinking about trying a long weekend in the fall....
This was a great spot for our family trip, lots to do in the area for small kids. We enjoyed beach time and sunsets every day. The house was very clean and had all the kitchen basics, outdoor toys and boardgames we needed. The main floor had a great setup for cooking, dining and relaxing. The downstairs bedrooms were quiet for the kids.
