Updated Family Beach Cottage-100 yds to Beach/Game Room/Fire Pit

Welcome to The Cottage at Riley Beach! Our spacious and updated beach cottage sleeps 12 with a large and open floor plan. Start your mornings with a cup of coffee on the deck, listening to the waves of Lake Michigan. Walk the short, sandy path to the beach and spend your days playing in the water with your family or relaxing on the sand. Return to the beautiful cottage for a family meal or check out some of the local restaurants just minutes away. End your day with a campfire in the peacefulbackyard while listening to the waves.

Lots to do in the area for fall and winter including hiking, biking (bikes included), apple picking, cross country skiing, down-hill skiing and snowshoeing. Make a cozy fire in the outdoor firepit while listening to the waves or play some family games around the indoor fireplace. And don't forget about the game room in the garage!

BEACH: The path to Riley Beach is located right at the edge of our property. The path is about 100 yards long and takes you to the top of the dune. Riley Beach is a public beach with limited parking so it is typically pretty quiet. It's where the locals tend to go to avoid the crowds at other beaches. There's a beautiful view of the water at the top of the path and then several private areas to sit and enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan. Head down to the water for lots of fun! Keep in mind that you need to walk the path up and over the dune to get to the beach. It’s so worth it!

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THE COTTAGE: Growing up in Holland, we spent most of our summers at Lake Michigan. After moving to Florida, we always wanted a place where we could spend time with our extended family and enjoy the lake! The Cottage at Riley Beach is just that! We love the easy access to the beach and the peacefulness around the cottage. It's just what we were hoping for--a place to enjoy family, the lake and get away from it all! Just minutes away are some of our favorite spots (Captain Sundae, Lolo's, Sandy Point Restaurant...) and the bike path is perfect for the family. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

*Please be aware that Lake MI water levels are cyclical and are high right now. This makes the sandy path to the beach a bit steep but totally worth it. If you have guests in your party with mobility issues, we recommend Holland State Park for beach access.
