Located in Ganges township on scenic Lakeshore Drive in a lovely wooded setting just 100 yards from Lake Michigan. The resort village of South Haven is 12 miles to the south and Saugatuck/Douglas 7 miles to the north. Available for rent May through October. Please check calendar for minimum nights required. The cottage is approximately 800 Square feet with a 8x10 deck, perfect for a couple or a small family. There is a large living area with peaked wood plank ceiling ,kitchen, bath and 2 bedrooms that sleep a maximum of 4. All linens except beach towels are furnished. There is a wall furnace and a new 15,000 btu window air conditioner in the LR area. Wi-Fi and cable TV are available. An easy stroll down a gravel path takes you to stairs that access the beach. There are two stairway options, stone steps to a lower deck and then on to the beach or easier wooden stairs to the north of the stone steps. See photos of both. Just to the south of us is West Side County Park and to the north more private beach. Our beach is marked private property though Michigan law does permit "shore walkers." Please note the private beach is shared with the owners ( two old retired folks) and our family. After several years of high water on Lake Michigan the Lake levels are lower and we are again blessed with a great wide beach! We do provide beach chairs and umbrella. The Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven area has many choices for dining, shopping, boating, golfing, theater and other vacation and cultural activities. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV with cable channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/44000000/43860000/43853100/43853093/d2823137.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quaint lakefront cottage w/ private hot tub, firepit, & beautiful sunset views Fennville - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.4 Very good 136 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=43853093&PinnedHotelID=43853093&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27120000/27117300/27117297/8c129a0e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Adorable Honeymoon Cottage by the Lake Glenn - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 134 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=27117297&PinnedHotelID=27117297&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18761200/18761188/244cb2c5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private And Secluded Rental On the Kalamazoo River - Saugatuck-Douglas-Fennville Fennville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 38 reviews CA $195 CA $314 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=18761188&PinnedHotelID=18761188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44010000/44006900/44006897/5cdc0d0a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy cottage surrounded by water w/ Kalamazoo River views - one dog OK Saugatuck - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 83 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=44006897&PinnedHotelID=44006897&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/42000000/41380000/41373000/41372989/31e12a83.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful home in the woods, Saugatuck Township Fennville - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 123 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-17&endDate=2025-10-18&selected=41372989&PinnedHotelID=41372989&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66890000/66886000/66885979/01640a48.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunset Bluff - Pet Friendly Cottage - Lake Michigan access!
