Old Fashioned Suite - Cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan

The Old Fashioned Suite is a quaint cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. The main room is an old log cabin. We remodeled this comfortable space into the main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, bathroom, and laundry accommodations.

Added to the front of the cabin are a new kitchen, counter for cooking/eating, and dining area. Above the living area is a roomy loft with bunk beds. Facing the lake, at the back of the cabin, is a bright and sunny sitting room with a pull-out sofa and a master bedroom with a queen-size bed.

A spacious deck faces the lake and provides a porch swing and umbrella-topped table and chairs for open-air dining. Adirondack chairs surround a large fire pit near the shoreline. Sunrises and moon showers can often be seen.

It is fun to see the large ships and sailboats as you enjoy the sight and sounds of the waves. The nearby ship canal and the Land Trust have many hiking trails and there are several sandy beaches that are accessible by foot, bike, or car. The property is located in a secluded setting far off the main road making it a wonderful quiet escape to enjoy campfires, swimming, and outside activities.

Relaxing in the shade!

We had a delightful stay at the Old Fashioned Suite! The check-in and check-out was simple and the cabin was very clean and well appointed to meet all of our needs. The beds were soft and comfortable and all the windows had good shades to allow for sleeping in late :)We loved sitting out on the Adirondack chairs at the water’s edge and watching the waves roll in. Would love to stay again some day!

Repeat visit

We stayed at the Old Fashioned Suite Cottage a year ago and liked it so much that we returned this year. Great property with lots of privacy. We especially enjoyed having our morning coffee with the spectacular view of the sunrise over the lake.

Had a great time at this lovely place

This location is really special. We collected rocks on the shore and waded into the water, relaxed indoors and cooked a little, played cards and walked along the peaceful wooded roads. Kids loved the loft and the wi-fi! Can't wait to return to this charming and comfortable place.

We had a wonderful weekend. The cottage was perfect and wonderfully stocked. We loved the wood burning fireplace and used it each night since it was chilly outside. The view was beautiful of the lake!

Clean, spacious and tranquil

We loved our stay. Loved the sign-in book from previous renters, with tips of places and sites to visit. Already had a full agenda going in, but it was nice to hear what others enjoyed. Just wish the extra sleeping area/bed in the loft was a full size.

Great family retreat

Great set up & use of space. Loved the spiral staircase to loft. Comfortable beds. Enjoyed the games on hand. Could hear the waves lapping the shore. Sunrises we’re beautiful. Took several trips to lighthouses & canal up the way.

Heaven on earth

We had such a relaxing and wonderful time at your place! Beautiful decor and very peaceful. Reasonable price for being right on Lake Michigan. Enjoyed the sunrise every morning, site seeing during the day and relaxing in the evenings by the fire pit! Great location to town. Instructions were clearly given and questions responded to quickly. One of the most relaxing times we have had in years! Hopefully we will be back soon! Hopper family.

Nice Place to Stay

The house location was great we have bomb fires almost every night. The breeze coming from the lake was very nice and cool. The house could use a deep clean and the back screen did not stay on the door so we could leave the door opened. We would stay there again everything was nice. The loft bedroom could use a different type of bed. The cute baby bed was only good for our luggage, A twin or even a full bed would be better.

Mom's Birthday Trip!

My sister and I booked our stay here for our mom's 83rd birthday and we all immensely enjoyed our stay. The cabin is clean and homey and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. My mom did struggle with the step up between the kitchen and rest of the cabin as her eyesight/depth perception is a little tricky sometimes. But we solved that by putting 2 stools there with the provided little lanterns and that seemed to work. The overall property is beautiful and the area is quiet. This was exactly what we were looking for. Far enough from town to be peaceful, but close enough so we could head in whenever we wanted.

Fantastic Location

This was a great location right on Lake Michigan. We spent most evenings sitting at the shore watching and listening to the waves. It has a loft, one bedroom and one bath so it was the right size for me and my wife. The owner was easy to contact and was great tow work with, I would definitely recommend this place and would stay there again.

This was our third time staying at the Old Fashioned Suite. We’re still driving home and already booked next year! It is so quiet and we love just sitting by the lake. It’s a great location and easy to access lots of activities.
