DeWitt Cottage

THE COTTAGE

​

• Four acres of wooded dune and 240 feet of private sandy beach.

• About  100 steps to that beach. Sounds like a lot, but it builds stamina.

• A private deck with front row seats of the Lake and beach.

• A hammock. Paradise in paradise. 

• A wrap around screened porch with three rockers, a table with chairs, and a sleeping cot.

• A living room with a double pull-out sofa, two lounge chairs and real books to take with you if you don’t finish them. 

• Two bedrooms. One is upstairs with two double beds, the other is downstairs with a double bed and a twin bed.  

• A fully outfitted kitchen with everything you’ll need. It doesn’t have a dishwasher. This is a cottage, not a condo. 

• A gas grill by the deck.

• Air-conditioning is the breeze off the lake, and window fans if you need them. The heat is just right for cool nights and the late spring and fall weeks. 

• There is one bathroom with a tub, and a shower room off the bedroom downstairs. It has access from the beach steps. Perfect for those who insist on rolling in the sand.

• Technology is supported by free Internet/WiFi/Cable.

• There is a small flat screened TV, CD player/radio, and a DVD player in the living room.

• Cell phone reception is poor at best, so plan to use other media. Or, there’s a land line. 

• One more thing: There is no reception on the beach. None. More paradise in paradise.

IN SUMMARY

​

Sleeps nine (in a pinch). A great kitchen. A clawfoot tub. Rockers on the porch. Private deck. Best view between Saugatuck and Holland.  And we allow pets (within reason – a horse might not work).  What could possibly be missing?

​

Oh, yes, it is right on the Big Lake.

​

THIS is NOT A CONDO.  It is a real cottage (circa  1914), full of color, charm, and history. One of the last of its kind.
