Bath is small 3/4 bath with shower. The Water Heater is new 2025, just 20 gallons so hot water is good for a 10 minute shower not an hour Hollywood shower.
TV - ROKU 32" with hundreds of channels. Plus Roof antenna for local AIR Channels CBS, FOX, METV . The desk in the LR has a few board games. Scrabble, cards, checkers, and monopoly. There is a vacuum, mop, brooms, cleaning products. Charcoal Grill.
This is a seasonal Cabin.
Wood stove for heat. 2 Fans , The Cottage is in the shade, being 2/3 mile from Lake Michigan , generally, air temperatures are 10 degrees cooler than inland 10 miles (16.09 km). From mid-June to mid-September, here is one window air conditioner in the bunk bedroom.
Fire pit on roadside plus one by the water. State land across the channel for free firewood, or several places in the area sell bundles at $4.
There are 5 Deck chairs, a couple beach chairs under the bunk beds.
14' Sea Nymph "R" Aluminum row boat & oars included. For guests with some boating & mechanical skill, I offer an optional 2022 Yamaha 4 HP Outboard. ($90 per stay for the outboard ).
Coleman Canoe and paddles included. 3 coast guard approved flotation Seat cushions and 6 life vests (3 are kids sizes) .
What I do not supply is food, drink, personal soaps or bath towels. And the Outboard is optional.
Duration of Stay.
Part of June, all of July and part of August is the high demand and I rent Friday to Friday. Otherwise, I am more flexible. I cannot rent for one night as I do not charge guests for maid service like most VRBO properties do. 4 out of 5 guests leave it like they found it less making the beds. That's my deal. Leave it like you found it, no cleaning fee.
Check in is normally anytime after 1 PM . Check Out 11am sharp.
Previous guests may get discount rates renting direct.

Before you book, know this over 90% of my guests love and appreciate this humble place. If you are a 5 percenter that seeks out faults and blems, this 1954 cabin may not be not for you. I suggest you pay triple my rate for a larger, newer boatless, summer home. Thank you for reading all the way to the end.
CANCELLATION POLICY. I offer a better deal than VRBO's website. None of their choices fit my property cancellation policy. If there is a cancellation and I can rent your time, I give 100% refund. If Not we both lose.
