In a secluded setting, our cottage is surrounded by tall trees and set far back from all roads. It is difficult to find and we like it that way. The master bedroom (with a king-size bed) on the first floor, has a door that opens to a large deck and screened-in gazebo. The adjacent living room has a vaulted ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace. Our fully equipped kitchen with custom cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances is located between the living room and cozy dining area with large windows and a patio door that leads to the spacious deck and piped gas grill. On the second floor is the 2nd bedroom with a queen-size bed. This bedroom and adjacent bath are private with views of a huge front yard sheltered by 100-year-old tall trees. The 2nd floor also has a sleeping loft with a queen-size futon sofa that can sleep 2. All ceilings on the second floor soar to 12 ft. Our deck is equipped with a large natural gas Weber grill and a screened-in gazebo with dining area. There is also additional seating outside the gazebo for a more open feeling. Our deck has an outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a fire pit with even more seating. The setting is private with only two neighbors nearby; one in a single-family home and the other in a cottage identical to our own adjoined to ours. We think our cottage is wonderful, but please keep in mind that this is NOT A PARTY HOUSE and is much too small for a wedding, a family reunion, or a party with a large group of people. Our cottage is only 1,005 sq. ft., that's not very large. Also, keep in mind that we only have parking for TWO cars. We have a SIX-person maximum occupancy, this number includes children. When you first arrive at our cottage you may see other empty parking spaces in our parking area. The parking lot is shared and only TWO of the available spaces are ours. The other parking spaces belong to our neighbors and are NOT ours to give away. At times there may be parking available for a third car, however, it will be necessary to check with our neighbors prior to your arrival. We cannot guarantee a third parking space. Please keep in mind that our absolute MAXIMUM IS SIX PEOPLE, WHICH INCLUDES CHILDREN. Getting back to our beach, it is less than 350 paces from our cottage. Once you walk through the McKinley Beach gate and are at the beach stairs, and it is only 43 steps from the top stair to sand. The stairs are wide, with handrails, and are broken up by two landings--one of them is large enough to have seating for six people. Once on the beach, look around you. You have the magnificence of Lake Michigan in front of you and in back of you, the sylvan charm of a wooded setting. Even though it is a small, public beach, it usually feels private and is one of the loveliest and most family-friendly beaches in Harbor Country. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Limited onsite parking (max 2 spaces) ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,005 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23280000/23278500/23278402/1a9f5140.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shorewinds beachhouse Garden Gate opens directly to beachpath No roads to cross!
