Welcome to the Painted Porch Cottage, a garden-style cottage in residential Lakeside, Michigan. Fully equipped, this rustic cottage is just two blocks from a private sandy beach. When you aren't playing in the sand, a short car ride will lead you to numerous antique stores, farmers markets, wineries, u-pick farms, outdoor recreation rentals, and delicious dining options.

Inside the Painted Porch Cottage, the cozy ambiance is abundant! The bright living room offers a lovely space to sit and watch TV. Steps away, the quaint kitchen provides a pleasant space to play chef and dine with your loved ones. When you aren't eating here, the charming dining room is perfect for family-style meals.

Additional hangout spaces include the screened-in porch and the grassy yard with a barbecue grill. Before crawling under the bedroom's quilts, throw your swimsuits in the private washer/dryer for a refresh, and tune the central air-conditioning to your liking.

Great mini vacay

We stayed here with our 2 young boys and it is a great location. Beach is a short walk and is very private. The place is very clean and has all you need including beach chairs and umbrella. Loved being to use the shower to keep the sand to a minium inside. Would definitely come again.

Girls week at lake cottage!

This cottage is in such a neat neighborhood SO close to Lake Michigan. The beach is really nice & they even have a wagon loaded for you to take to the beach. Super cute place & very comfy. This is a duplex type cottage so you do hear your neighbors who has a dog that occasionally makes quick barks. Kitchen is functional but bring your own spices & condiments. Would stay here again!

Great location, smelly carpets

Location was perfect, close to the beach. The house overall was ok, but the carpets in the bedroom smelled of mildew and it was difficult to breath. The beds were also very uncomfortable. The rest of the house was clean.
