Juniper Presents: The Fern - A 2 Bed/1.5 Bath Townie Cottage, Walk to Beach Presenting Townie 4 - The Fern, part of the unique Townie Cottages collection.

Enjoy the convenience of modern amenities, including high-speed Wi-Fi, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a dishwasher, all perfectly balanced by timeless accents like shiplap walls, gas log fireplaces, and vintage artifacts. THE SPACE While The Townie Cottages are a community development of 4 cottages, each unit is its own separate building and private space. Upon entering The Fern, guests will find the 2-story, 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence with a welcoming open floor plan showcasing the exquisite palette of Kate Marker’s furnishings, which provide the utmost in cottage luxury. The first floor consists of the living area, which has a sofa with additional side chairs that face the gas log potbelly stove. Directly behind the living area is the kitchen, featuring a large island with seating. There is also an additional dining banquette as well as a coffee bar. The powder room is located off the kitchen. Upstairs, guests will find 2 bedrooms—one with a queen bed and sitting area, and the other with twin-over-full bunk beds. Both bedrooms share a bathroom that contains a stack washer/dryer tucked away in a closet, a large walk-in shower, and a single vanity. Guests will have their own private outdoor space with a deck/patio area. This outdoor living space has a Fuego grill and dining set and wraps around to the unit's private hot tub, outdoor shower, and parking/charging space for a rented golf cart. Additionally, each unit will have 2 parking spaces located at the front of the development. This cottage is part of the Townie Cottages Resort, a private community of 4 separate homes that share a 20’ x 40’ inground pool, a communal fire pit, and easy access to the serene beaches of Lake Michigan. Combined, the community can accommodate 22 guests. Please see Juniper Holiday + Home's Townie Cottages listing if you are interested in renting the entire resort.
